Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has offered a glimpse into the interior design of its upcoming ship, the Mekong Mystique.
The new vessel will expand the brand’s presence in Vietnam and Cambodia when it joins the Mekong Jewel on the Mekong River in 2028.
Its addition forms part of a three-ship fleet expansion, which CEO Ellen Bettridge described as the largest fleet expansion to date in a recent interview with Cruise Industry News.
“We’re thrilled to share a first look at the Mekong Mystique and give guests a glimpse of what’s to come in 2028. The design is truly special, blending classic Indochine influences with European elegance in a way that feels both timeless and full of character,” said Bettridge.
“From the intricate toile wallpaper and hand-painted vanities to the floral-tiled pool framed by lush greenery, every space has its own personality, with beautiful details that make the ship feel like a destination in itself.”
Uniworld described the Mystique’s design as inviting, featuring botanical motifs, rich wood and antique-inspired furnishings.
The lobby features wood floors paired with a spiral staircase.

As for suites, they have arched floor-to-ceiling windows and ornate details, with bathrooms that pair toile-style wallpaper and hand-painted botanical vanities with gilded mirrors and brass fixtures.


The brand highlighted the ship’s two-story sundeck with expansive floral-tiled pool surrounded by greenery, scalloped awnings and decorative ironwork, noting that these elements evoke an open-air garden terrace.

The Mystique will sail the “Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong” itinerary beginning in September 2028.
