River cruising – inspiring, intimate, and all inclusive River cruising: offers a whole new perspective at experiencing the world. It’s a wonderful story of discovery, complete with easygoing comfort and convenience.

You’ll be inspired by the charming squares, magnificent cathedrals, and bustling marketplaces that are often just a stroll away from the ship. And there are always amazing places to see—including scenic vineyards, fairytale castles, and countless UNESCO World Heritage Sites—from the elegant onboard restaurant, inviting lounge, sun deck, or your own comfortable stateroom.

Your ship: an intimate, floating hotel that brings you up close to Europe’s great destinations. And unlike big ocean cruise ships, our ships have access to places where the big ships can’t go. You’ll never wait in long lines to get on or off the ship; you’ll never tender into port; and you’ll never experience rough water—only smooth and peaceful sailing throughout your river cruise journey.

Plus, captivating shore excursions are always included in the price of your cruise!

You: completely at ease because you unpack only once and settle right into your relaxing, value-packed, all-inclusive journey of a lifetime.

flower supply comes from here. During the afternoon, you will cruise to the charming shores of Hoorn. From a leading seaport in the 1600s to a welcoming town known today for its delicious cheese and vibrant horticulture, Hoorn has a rich and fascinating history.

It was an important home base for the Dutch East India Company and a very prosperous centre of trade.

Other notable 17th-century achievements of Hoorn include its lovely gabled houses, which you can still see today. Of particular interest are the markings on the houses; the marks indicate the trade of the family that once occupied the premises. This was important because, in earlier times, few besides the wealthy and privileged knew how to read or write.

Now it is your turn to be inspired.

Arrive at Nuremberg Airport where you’ll be transferred to the ship. (D) Day 2: Bamberg

bW

Featured Excursion: Bamberg walking tour Awaken in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bamberg, located on the Regnitz River near its confluence with the Main. Bamberg has one of Europe’s largest intact Old Town centers, and like Rome, the city is built on seven hills—only here, a church tops each hill. Your walking tour takes you past the imperial cathedral, the four-winged New Residence, the Town Hall lapped by the Regnitz River, and Little Venice, an area of colorful fishermen’s houses from the 19th century. During the afternoon, you’ll cruise the peaceful, meandering Main River. (BB, L, Captain’s Welcome Dinner) Day 3: Würzburg

bw

Featured Excursion: Würzburg Residenz visit and winetasting Visit Würzburg Residenz, an immaculate example of Baroque architecture and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. This grand palace was built and decorated in the 18th century by an international team of architects, sculptors, stucco-workers, and painters. Particularly noteworthy is Tiepolo’s ceiling fresco—the largest in the world. Enjoy the magnificent garden, one of the most expansive and beautiful in Europe. Your tour will be capped off with a private winetasting of fabulous Franconian wines in the historic Residenz cellar. (BB, L, D)

Day 4: Miltenberg Featured Excursion: Miltenberg walking tour Relax onboard during the morning as your ship travels the tranquil waters of the meandering Main River through a series of locks and past quiet Franconian hamlets. Arrive in charming and romantic Miltenberg, the “Pearl of the Main River.” The town is protected by its old walls and two gates—one facing east, and another facing west. While on your walking tour, you’ll discover why this Medieval town seems to leap from the pages of a German fairytale with its 14th- and 15th-century half-timbered, gabled houses; the Crooked House; and the Royal Inn, which has been a working hotel since the 17th century. (BB, L, D) Day 5: Rüdesheim Featured Excursion: Gondola ride to the scenic Niederwald Heights Rüdesheim is one of the most scenic wine towns along the Rhine and its history dates back to Roman times, as do most of the cities along the Rhine.

The town is famous for, among other things, its long avenue of shops and wine bars—known as the Drosselgasse—as well as the Niederwald Monument commemorating the unification of Germany. As an added treat today, you’ll board a mini-train for the short trip to the Niederwald Gondola. The adventure takes off the moment your gondola rises up the hillside. During the ride and once at the top, you will be mesmerized by the fairytale views that appear on all sides, including Rüdesheim, the vineyards of the Rheingau, and the Niederwald Monument. Perched at the top of the Niederwald heights, the monument can be seen by all who pass through this section of the beautiful Rhine Valley. (BB, L, D)

Your tour takes you past the romantic ruins of Heidelberg Castle, where you’ll be guided through the castle’s courtyard. You will also get to see the world’s largest wine barrel. Continue your tour in downtown Heidelberg and through Old Town where you’ll see the town’s late-Gothic church.

be

Arrive at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport where you’ll be transferred to the ship. (D) Day 2: Les Andelys

W

Featured Excursion: Walk to Château Gaillard Les Andelys was of considerable strategic importance during the Middle Ages, prompting King Richard the Lionheart to build a fortified castle to protect the Duchy of Normandy from the French King Philip II in the 12th century. Walk to the English king’s stronghold and admire the remains of the impressive Château Gaillard. (BB, L, Captain’s Welcome Dinner) Day 3: Rouen (Normandy Beaches)

bm

Featured Excursions: Full-day Normandy Beaches and visit to Bayeux Tapestry Museum Because of Normandy’s proximity to the sea, it has been the site of many conflicts and battles, including the famous D-Day Invasion by the Allied forces during WWII. Before visiting the beaches of Normandy, you’ll be taken to Bayeux, where you can appreciate the Medieval depiction of the Battle of Hastings on a tapestry dating from the 11th century.

Afterward, you will visit places that are haunting reminders of the Allies’ hard fight for freedom—the American Cemetery at Colleville sur Mer, the Allied landing sites at Omaha Beach, and Mulberry Harbor at Arromanches. (BB, D)

Day 5: Caudebec (Honfleur)

b

Featured Excursion: Visit to Honfleur After crossing the majestic Normandy Bridge spanning the river delta, travel overland to Honfleur, a charming French harbor town recreated in numerous paintings by such artists as Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. You’ll be taken on a guided walking tour from the former smuggler’s harbor of Vieux Bassin—the most frequently painted scene in Honfleur, where the fishing village backdrop is seemingly unchanged from over 500 years ago—through the pedestrian streets to St. Catherine’s Church. (BB, L, D) Day 6: Vernon (Giverny)

bmF

Featured Excursion: Monet’s Giverny

Featured Excursion: Walking tour of Rouen

Visit Monet’s home in his beloved village of Giverny, where he lived for 43 years, until his death in 1926.

You’ll explore Monet’s house, furnished as it was when the leader of the Impressionist school lived here, including his precious collection of Japanese engravings. Strolling the gardens, you’ll see the familiar Japanese bridge and water garden shaded by the weeping willows that so inspired this master’s work. Watch the light play on the pond which is covered with the water lilies reproduced in Monet’s numerous enchanting versions of The Nympheas (The Water Lilies). (BB, L, Captain’s Farewell Dinner)

Our visit to Rouen will take you to the stunning Gothic cathedral; the haunting Medieval quarter

Note: Giverny will be closed during early March and November departures. A visit to Versailles Palace will be substituted instead.

European Holiday Markets

It’s the most wonderful time of the year Discover where many of our signature holiday traditions—Christmas trees, gingerbread, nutcrackers, St. Nick, and candy canes—came from as you sail through Germany and Austria on a magical cruise.

Holiday Markets

Be spellbound by the Medieval atmosphere of Nuremberg’s main Christmas Market, and sample its famous holiday gingerbread. Stroll through Regensburg’s romantic Christmas Market, savoring fresh dumplings with vanilla sauce. In Passau, shop for unique crafts like hand-painted porcelain and Bohemian glass ornaments. In Linz, “The Town of Christmas Crèches,” marvel at the small clay figurines that represent the people of a typical village—the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. And hear a Mozart and Strauss concert while in the “City of Waltzes,” Vienna.

All this and more, in two countries of culture and elegance, will surely make for a joyous start to your holiday festivities.

Featured Excursion: Passau walking tour, Christmas Market, and gingerbread-making and floral decorating demonstrations

Discover Nuremberg, an archetypal German Medieval city, on your panoramic city tour. Your tour takes you past the mighty ancient walls with 80 towers that enclose the historic city center. You’ll stop at the Medieval Kaiserburg Castle, and then walk through the lively old quarter with its well-preserved traditional half-timbered houses. Next, a real treat, Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt, with over 200 wooden stalls filled with signature toys and glittering gifts. Enjoy the festive atmosphere enhanced by delicious aromas of gingerbread and the sweet and spicy hot mulled wine called glühwein.

(BB, L, Captain’s Welcome Dinner)

Quaint and peaceful, Passau, is a quintessential German town with Italian Baroque flair. Located at the confluence of three rivers—the Danube, Inn, and Ilz—the city is most famous for its ornate Baroque cathedral. Your walking tour takes you through the cobblestone streets of Old Town to the New Residence, the Town Hall, and the Christmas Market located near the magnificent cathedral, which is home to the largest pipe organ in Europe.

At the Christmas Market, you’ll find unique crafts, including Bavarian-style houses and glass ornaments.

You’ll have the opportunity to see firsthand how gingerbread is made, and then taste this famous holiday treat, and also you’ll learn how to make beautiful holiday flower centerpieces at a floral decorating demonstration. (BB, L, D)

Marvel at 17 impressive beveled mirrors and resplendent chandeliers. Spend your last afternoon at leisure in Paris, shopping, eating, and generally soaking up the unmatched French atmosphere during this special time of the year. (BB, L, Captain’s Farewell Dinner) Day 8: Depart Paris

River Beatrice

Uniworld’s collection of boutique hotel-style ships Every bit as important as the destinations Uniworld’s guests visit along Europe’s great rivers and waterways are the ships that sail them. Uniworld’s boutique hotel-style ships are just the right size to fit into the most beautiful small ports in Europe, but their compact size belies the roomy feel of each ship’s common rooms, staterooms, and suites. We know that, throughout the adventure and excitement of your river cruise, your ship will act as your “home away from home.” We’ve designed your ship with all the amenities and conveniences you need, so it’s the perfect place to retire to at the end of each exhilarating and fun-filled day.

And best of all, Uniworld’s ships allow you to see some of the grandest sights in Europe without ever leaving the comfort of its stylish lounges, elegant restaurants, and inviting staterooms. From enjoying one of Uniworld’s massage treatments to reading your favorite book in the cozy library to playing shuffleboard or chess on the sun deck with a cold drink and a perfectly prepared hamburger, there’s always plenty to do and see onboard your floating hotel. But you might find quietly marveling at the ever-changing scenery outside your stateroom window is your favorite activity of all.
