Step aboard a stylish floating hotel with the Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection. The 19-strong fleet navigates spectacular destinations throughout Europe, Egypt, Asia and beyond. Uniworld offers itineraries along the Seine River in France, the Nile in Egypt, the Douro in Portugal and Spain, and many more. Each ship aims to bring the destination onboard, with tailored décor, antiques and art, custom fabrics, and unique suites.
The luxury river cruise line is part of The Travel Corporation, a travel group with more than 30 brands including the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection. Founder of Red Carnation hotels, Bea Tollman, has reimagined boutique-hotel style for the waterways. Each of the ship's lavish interiors reflect the destinations they visit, with chic lounges, panoramic restaurants, delicate antiques, original art and opulent river view staterooms and suites.
Uniworld cruises attract luxury-loving travellers seeking cultural immersion. Their ships have an average capacity of 120 guests, with one of the highest staff to passenger ratios on the rivers. The award-winning hospitality is friendly but formal, with no request too large, no detail too small.
Several Uniworld ships boast a heated pool with swim-up bar, and many have a Serenity River Spa. Journeying down historic waterways, guests can admire the ever-evolving landscape and savour innovative, locally sourced cuisine. Once in port, Uniworld cruise guests can embark on enticing shore excursions. In Egypt, passengers might explore the ancient temples of Luxor, or in Vietnam, guests can take a culinary tour of Ho Chi Minh City.
