On 2 June 2019, the River Countess, moored at the San Basilio Cruise Pier in the Giudecca Canal, in Venice, Italy was struck by MSC Opera. Four people were slightly injured. River Countess suffered freeboard bow and stern damage. On 4 June, Uniworld programmed necessary repairs, planning a return to service for 21 July. On 17 June, River Countess was towed from the S. Basilio Terminal to the nearby port of Marghera, where she was placed over a semi-submersible heavy-lift ship, and thereby moved to a shipyard in Trieste for full repair. On 20 June, River Countess was at Trieste shipyard, transported there by the Heavy Load Carrier Yacht Express. After thorough inspection of the damage at the Trieste shipyard, it was determined that it was more extensive than originally thought and would take longer to be repaired. On 26 June, the return to service was postponed to 6 September (with the cruise starting on 8 September). River Countess returned to service, in the Venice area, on Sunday 8 September 2019.
