    This ship is no longer in Uniworld's catalogue

    River Victoria sailed the Volga, between Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Today it no longer appears on Uniworld's fleet list and the line no longer offers a Russian destination. Our inventory shows zero departure dates. We keep this page because the name still circulates, and an exact answer beats an empty page.

    Here is what is established and what is not. Established: Russia has disappeared from Uniworld's destinations, the ship has left its fleet list, and the hull still sails in Russian domestic service under another name. Not established: the exact date and legal form of the end of the arrangement. Uniworld never owned this ship, it chartered it from a Russian operator. Writing that it was sold would be false, and writing that it was withdrawn from service would be equally false.

    What it was

    A 1982 hull from the Dessau-Rosslau yard in East Germany, rebuilt from the ground up in 2011. The refit was serious: taken back to the hull, every public space redone, a lift added. A Volga ship has little in common with a Rhine ship. It is wider, taller, sized for lakes and reservoirs rather than narrow locks.

    Where to go instead

    Travellers who wanted imperial Russia will find no equivalent, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. Those who wanted a great central European river and a multi-capital itinerary will do well on the Danube, aboard S.S. Beatrice or S.S. Maria Theresa. S.S. Emilie entered service in 2026 on the same river. On the Rhine, S.S. Antoinette remains the line's reference.

    Speak to an advisor before settling for something approximate. A badly chosen replacement itinerary leaves more regret than a postponed trip.

    Booking from Quebec

    You leave from Montreal, which adds a day at each end of the trip. The transatlantic flight departs in the evening and lands in Europe the next morning, six hours out of step with your body. Most travellers arrive the day before embarkation and sleep a night on the ground. That night is the difference between boarding rested and spending day one fighting sleep.

    Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur. The money you pay moves through the trust account required by law, and your trip is covered by the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents. Your advisor gives you the documents that establish this protection.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No. Uniworld no longer offers a Russian destination and the ship no longer appears on its fleet list. Our inventory shows zero departure dates. No booking is possible on this ship through us.
    Nothing establishes that, and it would probably be inaccurate. Uniworld never owned this ship, it chartered it from a Russian operator. We found no public statement about the end of that arrangement.
    The hull still sails, in Russian domestic service, under another name and for its original operator. It is no longer a Uniworld ship and is no longer reachable from Quebec within a cruise by this line.
    Because the name still circulates in searches and old brochures. A reader looking for this ship deserves an exact answer rather than an empty page or a silent redirect.
    No. Russia no longer appears among the line's published destinations, which today cover Europe, Asia, Egypt, India and Peru.
    In 1982, at the Dessau-Rosslau yard in East Germany. It was rebuilt thoroughly in 2011, taken back to the hull, with a lift added.
    Sources differ, between two hundred and a little more. Uniworld no longer publishes a specification sheet for this ship, and we prefer not to advance a figure the line no longer confirms.
    A thirteen-day route between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, in both directions, by the Volga and the network of canals and lakes that links the two cities.
    No equivalent for imperial Russia. For a great central European river and a run of capitals, the Danube is the closest answer. Talk it through with an advisor rather than choosing a substitute alone.
    Not especially. Volga ships are wider and taller, sized for lakes and reservoirs. Distances between stops are far greater, which produces more full days under way.
    In Quebec, money paid to a licensed agency moves through a trust account and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents applies. Your advisor will explain exactly what that covers in your case.
    Tell your advisor. Travellers who loved a particular ship are usually looking for the same atmosphere rather than the same river, and that information genuinely shapes the recommendation.
    No formal statement was found. The disappearance of the product is observable on the line's own website and fleet list. We report that observation without attributing an official intention nobody expressed.
    Yes, if the situation changes. We measure the inventory regularly and this page is reviewed when the facts move. Your advisor can tell you the date of the last check on request.
    An advisor at Voyages AquaTerra. Uniworld's European fleet has several hulls with wide calendars, and the choice turns mostly on the river, the length of the ship and the season.
