Trafalgar Verity Review

Review of Trafalgar Verity

The 1999-built (as River Queen) cruise ship Trafalgar Verity is owned by Uniworld (officially "Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection"), which is an asset of The Travel Corporation (TravCorp). Since 2026, the riverboat has been chartered to the sister brand Trafalgar.

The Trafalgar Verity ship cruises on the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers departing from Amsterdam, Antwerp, Basel, Frankfurt am Main, and Nuremberg.

The vessel (ENI number 02323692) is currently Holland-flagged (MMSI 244010349) and registered in Amsterdam.

Trafalgar's fleet currently includes only two (full-ship chartered from Uniworld) vessels - Reverie (River Princess) and Verity (River Queen). Trafalgar plans to add a third riverboat (TBN) in 2027. As part of its longer-term strategy, Trafalgar plans to introduce a new class of ships (beginning in 2028), which would be Trafalgar-owned (not chartered).

Trafalgar Reverie cruise ship (Uniworld River Queen)

With the same design features and amenities are the Uniworld ships Ambassador (1993, now THE A), Baroness (1994, now THE B), Countess (2003, now SS La Venezia), Duchess (2003), Empress (2001), Princess (2001, now Trafalgar Verity), Royale (2006, now SS La Venezia).

In December 2025 was announced that Trafalgar Verity's godmother would be Cassandra Estrella-Rocam, an employee of Trafalgar and Costsaver. The ship is scheduled to debut for Trafalgar on April 12, 2026, with the "Best of the Rhine and Amsterdam” itinerary.
