All Inclusive Amenities

Intimate and Relaxing Experience

Unique Travel Experiences

Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your flights & transfers, all your meals and premium drinks, a host of onboard wellness opportunities plus your daily shore excursions.

We have even included the on board gratuities. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Uniworld experience.

Compared to ocean cruising, a river cruise ship is smaller and therefore offers guests a far more intimate experience. With just an average of 130 guests on board, you can get to know your fellow travellers and also receive better access to the incredible staff on board.

By nature, cruising along rivers allows you to travel directly through the heart of countries, giving you incredible access to some of the world's greatest cities right outside your window.

Due to the small sizes of our ships, we take you to the heart of your destinations and dock in the centre of town, so you can step right off the ship and start exploring immediately.

Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a traditional cruise, along with all the benefits of inland travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden gem villages, unpacking only once. Even while onboard you’ll be immersed in the local sights, with ever changing views right outside your window. River cruising is absolutely the best way to cruise, and the best and most luxurious river cruise is with Uniworld.

Award Winning, Floating Hotels

Local Enrichment Opportunities

Enjoy a Slower Pace of Life

One of the highlights of your river cruise is the Super Ship you sail on. You have access to your very floating hotel that you can call home for the week, with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces and multiple dining venues throughout.

On a Uniworld cruise we have selected the must sees on every itinerary. These once in a lifetime experiences range from behind the scenes access to the world's greatest landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, exclusive after-hours access to enjoy St. Marks Basilica without the crowds or receiving a breathtaking water blessing from a Cambodian monk.

A river cruise is perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace of life.

You will sail silently through the heart of countries, docking in the centre of cities and spend plenty of time exploring wherever you visit.

INDUSTRY LEADING ALL-INCLUSIVE RIVER CRUISES There’s all-inclusive, and then there’s the unmatched level of inclusive luxurious amenities that only we provide.

DESTINATION INSPIRED SUPER SHIPS

Super Ship Bon Voyage

Super Ship La Venezia

Rivers: Garonne & Dordogne, Southern France

Rivers: Venetian Lagoon & Po River, Italy

Designed to immerse guests in French culture, art and wine, the S.S. Bon Voyage is as quintessentially French as they come. The four on board dining venues perfectly capture the essence of France and the stunning Soleil Deck has been designed for the hot summer days you will experience in Bordeaux.

10

The design of the S.S. La Venezia drew influence from the fine Fortuny fabrics displayed prominently onboard. Murano glass, gilded accents and artistic etched elements pay homage to popular Venetian aesthetics of the early 20th century, creating an onboard atmosphere that is at once elegant and nostalgic.

Our Design Ethos

Inviting Public Spaces

Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA. We have followed in the footsteps of our sister company, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection to deliver the most luxurious service on the world's rivers.

All of our Super Ships have been designed with a focus on larger public spaces for our guests to enjoy. We have reduced the amount of cabins on our European ships to hold an average of 130 guests - compared to others in the industry who hold between 160 - 180.

Unlike other cruise lines, every Uniworld ship has been inspired by the very rivers they sail on and uniquely designed to showcase the very best every destination has to offer. With distinctive themes, colour palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, sumptuous furnishings and antiques, each element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered.

Super Ship São Gabriel

Super Ship Joie de Vivre

River: Douro, Portugal

River: Seine, France

S.S. São Gabriel is the newest and most luxurious ship on the Douro river. Designed to embody the beautiful Douro River Valley region, this ship will offer more lavishly appointed suites and bring the destination to life through its décor and delectable food and wine. Butler service will be added onboard, giving guests the option to dine at any time they’d like while enjoying the ship.

S.S. Joie de Vivre brings the “joy of living” to the rivers of France. Step aboard your floating pied-à-terre in France, featuring handcrafted furniture and fine antiques, original artwork, and signature accents inspired by 20th-century Parisian design from the Golden Twenties to the free-spirited Sixties, all blending seamlessly with modern conveniences.

Uniquely Designed Suites

The Finest Amenities

Like our ships, all our suites have been uniquely designed. Each suite is a true showstopper, boasting custom fabrics and upholstery, original artwork, handcrafted furniture and Savoir® Beds of England.

Every lavishly appointed stateroom features handcrafted Savoir® Beds of England, high thread count 100% Egyptian cotton sheets and European duvets, plus a menu of pillow options.

11

ALL INCLUSIVE SHORE EXCURSIONS Every Uniworld cruise has been meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last. We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our included and optional excursions immerse you in the authentic culture, sights and cuisine of the places you’ll visit-each providing you with a unique perspective that only Uniworld offers.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences There are some endeavours in life that remain fond memories forever. From visiting a museum without the crowds to an after-hours tour of St. Marks Basilica or an exclusive sunrise viewing of the Taj Mahal before the crowds arrive, these included, once-in-a-lifetime experiences are arranged exclusively for Uniworld guests.

12

Brand New 'Nights Out' Excursions We’re thrilled to introduce our first five immersive ‘Nights Out’ evening experiences, that really dive into the the culture, history and traditions of some of the most incredible European cities.

From private concerts in Vienna to behind the scenes access in Venice and even a private nighttime visit to Cochem Castle.

Small Group Experiences

Behind the Scenes Access

Daily Choice of Small Group Excursions. You’ll have several options of included excursions each day, so you can explore each destination exactly how you’d like. The choice is yours. We believe you can experience every destination much more in a smaller, more intimate group, that's why we always run multiple tours with limited guests.

With Uniworld, you won’t find yourself queuing for attractions or surrounded by tourists.

You will enjoy exclusive behind the scenes access to many iconic destinations, giving you the very best experience without the crowds.

13

After a day immersed in Indian culture, your taste buds may do some immersing of their own with Gajar Shorba and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for lunch.

17

ELEVATING THE STANDARD OF LUXURY RIVER CRUISING Our outstanding crew on board are the driving force behind our guest-centric atmosphere and the reason you leave your cruise feeling like part of the family.

18

No Request Too Large

With one of the best staff-to-guest ratios on the river, each guest receives our crew’s full attention and unmatched attention to detail.

Tiny Noticeable Touches

In-Suite Butlers

The tiniest details often draw the brightest smiles. Our staff’s passion is apparent in their matchless attention to your interests, like remembering your drink order from day one, or venturing off the ship to surprise you with chocolates from a local shop you mentioned in passing.

Our butlers are trained to the same standards of excellence required by Buckingham Palace.

Each assumes the role of butler 100% of the time, and doesn’t moonlight in other roles, enabling him or her to focus fully on making your cruise one to never forget.
