WHY A SUMMER RIVER CRUISE IS THE PERFECT LUXURY ESCAPE
Picture yourself on the top deck enjoying a Cocktail or sipping on an Aperol Spirtiz whilst overlooking St Mark’s Square as your vantage point or a glass of Champagne in the infinity pool as you meander past vineyards and quaint French villages in Bordeaux. These are just a few reasons why a river cruise with Uniworld offers the ideal summer getaway.
Summer is the perfect time to get away and explore new destinations, and as British travellers, we know that all too well. We’re all on the hunt for the ultimate getaway that not only showcases the best of every
destination, but offers exceptional value for money.
We know a river cruise isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine a summer holiday, here are a few reasons why it should be in the future.
Imagine yourself sailing through the heart of stunning destinations like Bordeaux, Venice or the Douro River Valley onboard a luxury hotel that doubles as your mode of transport to new destinations.
The onboard restaurants serve amazing, locally inspired cuisine and the bar offers unlimited refreshments.
EXPLORING THE WORLD AS A SOLO TRAVELLER
As a solo traveller, the world is your oyster. You have the freedom to go wherever you please, but deciding on the perfect way to explore can be challenging. That’s why river cruising is becoming an increasingly popular choice for solo travellers. Not only is it a safe and convenient way to travel, but it’s also a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded people and form lifelong friendships. With smaller, intimate ships and a sociable onboard atmosphere, you’re sure to feel incredibly welcomed from the moment our staff greet you upon arrival.
“Travelling solo onboard the S.S. São Gabriel was an incredible experience. Any initial concerns were instantly eased by the warm and friendly staff , and the sociable atmosphere onboard. The welcome drinks reception was the perfect opportunity to get to know my fellow guests and make some amazing friends along the way.”
Rosie Smith, Uniworld Passenger Services Administrator
Plus with less customers onboard you’ll never find yourself fighting for the ideal sunbed first thing every morning. We believe our summer river cruises are ultimate combination of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.
Our summer cruises are growing in popularity, offering new ways for friends and families to explore together. So, rather than opting for a usual Mediterranean cruise with thousands of guests or a hotel where you stay in the same place, choose an intimate summer experience with Uniworld’s floating boutique hotels that will live long in the memory.
With VIP entry to world-renowned landmarks and a host private excursions you can beat the queues and enjoy Europe in the ultimate style this summer.
THE ULTIMATE FAMILY ADVENTURE WITH UNIWORLD
Looking for a way to explore the world with your family without sacrificing luxury and comfort? Our cruises see many multigenerational families travel who desire the best of both worlds: all the amenities of the best five-star hotel and the opportunity to explore the most beautiful destinations in the world.
We do allow children on our cruises, and it is great to see our younger guests being respectful to their surroundings and fellow guests to ensure that everyone on board has an unforgettable experience. Our experienced staff members are parents themselves and the younger guests will experience amazing service from creating special dinners to the odd few treats!
With discounts for children and no single room supplements – Summer 2023 offers a great opportunity to travel as a family.
Call our team to work out the best cruises to choose and how we can accommodate families across cabins & suites.
“I absolutely love taking my family on a Uniworld cruise, we’ve been lucky enough to travel on four occasions. It’s such a lovely way to show the boys new places around the world and a great way to spend quality time together. It was the simple things the staff did throughout our cruises that we constantly remember, from playing football in a park by the Rhine to organising a special bike ride – they really went above and beyond!”

VENICE & THE JEWELS OF VENETO A City of Romance and Wonder
Undeniably, Venice is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. With its stunning architecture, winding canals, and picturesque bridges, this city is a true masterpiece of human ingenuity and artistry. As one wanders through its narrow alleys, past grand piazzas and hidden courtyards it is easy to see why Venice has captured the hearts of so many for centuries. From the vibrant colours of the buildings to the melodic sound of the gondoliers’ songs, Venice is a feast for the senses and a place like no other.
Our 8-day Venice & the Jewels of Veneto sailing brings this destination to life and offers every guest the chance to experience the city from a whole new angle. Sailing into the Venetian Lagoon, you can explore the corners of the city that are usually inaccessible by foot. From the comfort of your luxurious floating boutique hotel, you can witness the beauty of Venice in a way that few others get to experience. With large ocean cruise lines now banned from sailing into the lagoon, Uniworld is the only luxury operator permitted to enter, giving an incredibly exclusive feeling to every guest.
A SPOTLIGHT ON MILAN AND VERONA
F or the ultimate Italian experience, why not opt for our full package which includes a pre-stay in Milan. Guests will stay in the heart of Milan just a stone’s throw away from the breathtaking Cathedral, Square and stunning Piazza Fontana. As per our signature Uniworld style, our guests get exclusive private access to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, which is brought to life by our expert guides. Much like our St Marks Basilica experience in Venice, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as tickets for this event are impossible to come by.
In addition to Milan, we take you on a memorable morning visit to the fascinating
city of Verona, where you can explore all the stunning locations that make this city an Italian gem. Our visit includes a stop at Romeo and Juliet’s balcony, where you can truly feel the romance of this iconic love story. On our way to Venice, we also stop for a delightful winery lunch in the heart of Valpolicella wine country. The beautiful Serego Alighieri estate, which belongs to descendants of Dante Alighieri, is one of the oldest and loveliest villas in the region. Guests will enjoy a private tour before being served a delicious three-course lunch carefully paired with Serego Alighieri wines. What better way to prepare you for your time in the Veneto region.
But our Venice & the Jewels of Veneto itinerary isn’t just about seeing the city from afar. Onboard, you can indulge in the best culinary experiences where five-star meals are served daily, with an unbeatable view overlooking the magical city. And if that’s not enough, Uniworld offers exclusive VIP access to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. Usually tourists queue for hours and are expected to enjoy the landmarks whilst surrounded by thousands of people, however our guests skip the queues and are treated like royalty!
As you venture out of Venice, your journey showcases the very best Northern Italy has to offer. This immersive itinerary also includes visits to the colourful fisherman towns of Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello, where you can immerse yourself in the local culture and sample the delicious cuisine of the Veneto region.
For those looking to visit Venice, this is by far the most luxurious mode of travel that offers incredible value for money, it’s no wonder it’s our most popular sailing for two years running.
