WHY A UNIWORLD RIVER CRUISE FOR YOUR GROUP
Industry leader in building and developing group business
Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a tradi tional cruise, along with all the benefits of land travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden gem villages, unpacking only once. River cruising is the best way to cruise, and the best and most luxurious river cruises are with Uniworld.

ONE-OF-A-KIND BOUTIQUE SHIPS
One of the highlights of your river cruise will be the ship you sail on. Each of our one-of-a-kind ships is like a floating boutique hotel; designed to immerse you in the destination with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces, and elegant dining venues.
UNMATCHED CONVENIENCE
River cruising allows you to travel directly through the heart of countries, giving you access to some of the world's greatest cities right outside your window. You’ll travel to multiple destinations with ease, only unpacking once.
ALL-INCLUSIVE AMENITIES
Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your meals to premium drinks, plus your daily shore excursions. We’ve even included the onboard gratuities. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Uniworld experience.
IMMERSIVE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
We’ve selected culturally immersive experiences on every journey. These range from a private after-hours visit to St. Mark’s Basilica to receiving a breathtaking water blessing from a Cambodian monk.
INTIMATE & RELAXING EXPERIENCE
Compared to ocean cruising, a river cruise ship is smaller and offers guests a far more intimate experience. With just an average of 120 guests onboard, you can get to know your fellow travellers and receive better access to the incredible staff onboard.
CONNECT & STAY CONNECTED
Unencumbered by large crowds, you’ll effortlessly meet people who share your passion for travel and exploration, and stay connected with loved ones back home with complimentary shipwide Wi-Fi.
BENEFITS OF BOOKING
your group with Uniworld
There’s all-inclusive, and then there’s the unmatched level of inclusive luxurious amenities that only we provide. To ensure truly carefree and effortless travel, we’ve gone ahead and included it all—so the only thing you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Uniworld difference.
For groups as few as 10 people, we make the process seamless. Our ship capacity averages 120 guests, but we can also accommodate larger groups with tandem charter groups of 250+. Regardless of your group’s size, you will travel effortlessly thanks to our Uniworld inclusions.
