Sailing exclusively on the Mekong River, Uniworld’s Mekong Jewel is set to join the cruise line’s fleet in January 2020. Here’s a sneak peek of the newly-built ship!
The Mekong Jewel will feature all-suite accommodations for a capacity of 68 guests as they embark on a truly immersive journey along one of Asia’s classic river banks.
The accommodations range from Suite to Grand Suite and Royal Suite. The Grand Suite features sumptuous furnishings and grandeur for which Uniworld is known.
The Royal Suite also has a fantastic balcony with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the passing views.
The ship will be 33 feet longer than the Mekong Navigator, but will offer the same guest capacity.

Guests can also enjoy visiting the spa, sauna and steam room for relaxing, or head to the hair salon and nail bar for treatments.
The ship is being constructed using sustainable, eco-friendly materials such as energy-efficient LED light fixtures, automatic air-conditioning controls, and water cooled air-conditioning system which will save energy. The hull will also be painted using special materials which create less drag and the propellers are specially-designed to increase performance and efficiency.
