Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
The world’s most luxurious river cruise line
There’s all-inclusive, and then there’s Uniworld. While other river cruise lines sail the same waterways across Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America, the experience onboard a Uniworld vessel exists in a completely different world. Guests don’t just rate them five stars – they insist on six. It’s a distinction the certified Uniworld Cruise Travel Advisors at Extraordinary Adventures understand intimately, having experienced these floating boutique hotels firsthand. We’re here to show you a river cruise unlike anything you’ve imagined.
Floating Works of Art
The Uniworld collection of floating boutique hotels is known for its destination-inspired interior decor, gracious service, and carefully selected amenities – all of which create an intimate, elegant, and profoundly relaxed experience. Each ship is inspired by the rivers upon which it cruises. Distinctive themes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, sumptuous furnishings, and antiques – every element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered. The result seamlessly blends old-world elegance with the latest technological innovations and ultra-luxurious amenities. No two Uniworld ships look alike. The S.S. La Venezia showcases Venetian opulence, while Joie de Vivre celebrates Parisian chic. It’s like stepping aboard a world-class boutique hotel that happens to glide through the heart of Europe’s most storied landscapes.
Impeccable, Personalized Service
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises takes pride in its long-lasting relationships with guests, guided by a simple philosophy: “No request too large, no detail too small.” Boasting one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the river cruise industry and an average capacity of only 120 guests, Uniworld delivers on its promise of impeccable service in ways that feel genuinely personal.
Part of that comes down to tenure. Uniworld has one of the most experienced crews on the rivers, with staff who know returning guests by name. But mostly, it’s a philosophy of treating guests like family. Remembering what you drink without you needing to ask. Venturing off the ship to surprise you with chocolates from a local shop you mentioned in passing. Those kinds of moments.
And then there are the butlers. Uniworld’s in-suite butlers are trained to the same exacting standards required by Buckingham Palace, educated under the tutelage of Zita Langenstein at England’s Ivor Spencer Butler School. That’s the kind of service standard that separates Uniworld from everyone else on the river.
Farm-to-Table Culinary Excellence
Uniworld’s chefs treat cooking as an art form – a very delicious one. Complementing the immersive design experience, dining on Uniworld allows you to enjoy an unrivaled taste of your destinations. You’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients locally sourced from the towns and markets you visit along the way. Meals are prepared fresh onboard and paired with regionally appropriate wines. The elegant main restaurant offers open seating, and al fresco dining is available on the sundeck. Captain’s Welcome and Farewell dinners feature special menus and wine pairings that celebrate the journey in grand style.
Wellness, fitness, and extraordinary shore experiences
With all of that dining and relaxing, you might worry about needing stretchy pants by the end of your river cruise. Uniworld has that covered too. Every sailing features several ways to stay active – both onboard and ashore. Their seasoned wellness experts have an average tenure of ten years with Uniworld and continuously hone their craft with annual Ayurveda yoga and other training. Start your day with sunrise yoga on the top deck, a TRX Suspension Training class, or work out at your own pace in the well-equipped fitness center. Then unwind at the Serenity River Spa with a soothing facial or massage treatment, or take a dip in the heated pool.
Head ashore with their onshore programs featuring guided walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, golfing tours, and more. Or grab one of their complimentary bicycles or Nordic Walking Sticks and head out on your own adventure. While you’re ashore, take advantage of Uniworld’s included excursions – every cruise is meticulously crafted to immerse you in the authentic culture, sights, and cuisine of the places you visit. Village Day excursions offer an in-depth look into quaint destinations and the local people who bring them to life. Do As The Locals Do excursions let you experience life like a local, from riding the subway to stopping into a cafe for a regional treat. Night’s Out excursions deliver private after-hours tours of popular attractions and vibrant local nightlife experiences.
For those who want to go even deeper, Uniworld’s Private Experiences let you visit a museum without the crowds or experience an after-hours tour of a famous landmark. Their Masterpiece Collection takes it further still – think tastings with a cheese affineur in Rudesheim or cruising through the streets of Bordeaux in a retro sidecar. And their Curated Services indulge you and your companions in a fully customizable private experience, often accompanied by a private car or guide. No one else allows you to travel from one exciting destination to the next aboard a stylish, floating hotel with chic lounges, panoramic restaurants, sumptuous cuisine, exquisite antiques, original art, and luxurious river-view staterooms and suites quite like Uniworld.
