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 and fully equipped with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces and multiple dining venues throughout.
Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your meals to premium drinks, a host of onboard wellness opportunities 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.
Compared to ocean cruising, a river cruise ship is smaller and therefore offers guests a far more intimate experience. With just an average of 120 guests onboard, you can get to know your fellow travellers and also receive better access to the incredible staff onboard.
By its nature, cruising along rivers 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.
