U River Cruises is solidifying itself as Europe’s youngest, hippest river cruise line — and this year, they’ve announced two new tailored itineraries sailing from Germany: Tattoo on U and U in Drag.
“We’re so excited to announce tattoo and drag queen themed cruises for our U guests,” says Ellen Bettridge, CEO and President of U.
U’s themed itineraries include an open bar
throughout the cruise, three daily meals, select shore excursions,
complimentary Wi-Fi, onboard local U hosts, and other popular activities such
as mixology classes, silent discos, a local DJ, paint and wine classes, and
rooftop yoga.
U’s new themed cruises will offer enhanced versions of the Germany’s Finest eight-day itinerary (which sails from Frankfurt to Regensburg).
“The themes coincide with everything our U brand stands for which is encouraging our guests to completely let go, be confidently themselves and meet new like-minded travellers along the way,” explains Bettridge.
“It’s important for us to continue to innovate in ways that inspire our guests and provide them with experiences that they won’t find anywhere else. The launch of these two cruises is just the beginning for our themed concepts onboard U.”

U has teamed up with celebrity drag queens Jiggly Caliente, Darienne Lake and Phi Phi O’hara (as seen on the hit TV-show RuPaul’s Drag Race), to offer guests a week they won’t forget.
Along with several onboard performances throughout the sailing, the itinerary includes interactive activities co-hosted by the drag queens such as a karaoke night, drag makeup lessons, an exclusive bar crawl at one of the ship ports, and more. The sailing will be an action-packed celebration of culture, entertainment, glitter and stilettos.

In addition to the opportunity to get inked by these celebrity artists throughout the cruise, the itinerary includes an onboard welcome party with the artists, a tattoo parlour crawl in one of the ports, contests to win a free tattoo from one of the artists onboard and $200 (approx. R2 882) towards a favourite tattoo shop, brunch Q&As with topics including ‘Everything You Ever Wanted to Ask a Tattoo Artist’ and ‘History and State of Modern Tattooing,’ and much more.
