About Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
“Uniworld is known for its hallmarks of distinction which includes its uniqueness, service, expertise and culinary delights. All the ships of Uniworld’s fleet are uniquely designed, which reflect the colors and beauty of destinations you will visit. Uniworld has taken river cruising in Europe entirely to a new level and as far as service is concerned, Uniworld knows that even the tiniest details have a big impact. When dining onboard, guests are treated to world-class cuisine prepared from fresh ingredients. Uniworld’s excursions are exclusively designed to immerse guests in the culture, cuisine and sights of the destinations they visit.” — Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
Uniworld has been leading the way since 1976, when it became the first American company to set sail on Europe's rivers. Fifty years on, the line—part of The Travel Corporation family alongside Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, and Luxury Gold—has grown into what it proudly calls the world's most awarded river cruise line, sailing the rivers of Europe, Egypt, India, Southeast Asia, and the Peruvian Amazon.
What sets Uniworld apart is the ships themselves: the original floating boutique hotels. Each of the seventeen vessels is one-of-a-kind, an individually designed work of art layered with custom fabrics, original artwork, and local craftsmanship that reflects the destination outside the window. Many share a design team with the award-winning Red Carnation Hotel Collection. Service follows the company's driving ethos—No Request Too Large, No Detail Too Small®—delivered by the longest-tenured crew in the business at a remarkable 2.4-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio.
The all-inclusive promise is equally complete: you can keep your wallet closed the entire trip. Fares cover premium wines and spirits, cuisine built from locally sourced ingredients, private shore excursions in each city, onboard gratuities, ship-wide Wi-Fi, fitness classes, even bicycles and Nordic walking sticks. For travelers who love the intimacy of a great boutique hotel—and want it to glide past castles while they sleep—Uniworld is river cruising at its most indulgent.
