Each Uniworld river cruise ship is unique, designed to resemble a floating boutique hotel, with quirky artworks and furnishings crafted exclusively for Uniworld by some of Europe's finest artisans. The S.S. Joie de Vivre sailing in France boasts fine antiques and décor inspired by 20th century Parisian design, the S.S La Venezia's use of Murano glass and beautiful fabrics pays homage to the Venetian Lagoon in which she sails, and the S.S. Sphinx highlights incredible Egyptian craftsmanship.

The style is relaxed on board, with a casually elegant atmosphere in the evenings. All dining is open seating, and the chefs source many of their ingredients from local farmers' markets as they travel up and down the great rivers of Europe, Asia and Africa. All of your drinks are included, including many premium spirits, along with WiFi, gratuities and shore excursions, making a Uniworld river cruise great value for money.

The service on board is top notch, with personal touches that go above and beyond what you might ordinarily expect from a river cruise. This is especially true if you opt for one of the suites, which include butler service on most European voyages.

On board a Uniworld river cruise you can tailor your sightseeing to match your own level of fitness and activity, with a choice ranging from gentle walking tours to more active excursions. Bicycles and Nordic walking poles are also provided, and there are wellness specialists on board to help you unwind after a busy day with a massage or yoga class.

Itineraries cover all the great rivers of Europe, and there are also special themed cruises based around topics such as food and wine, royal history and Christmas markets. More exotic options include cruises on the Nile and the Mekong plus a fantastic itinerary in India combining the Golden Triangle with a Ganges river cruise.
