We have experienced other river cruise ships, but this was our first trip with Uniworld.
We went with three other couples who are all seasoned travelers, but always on the large, ocean going ships.
Since none of has had any way of knowing what to expect from Uniworld, we approached the trip with mild trepidation.
From the moment we stepped on board, the term we all seemed to utter at the ...
My first cruise and everything was wonderful. The accommodations, crew, food and excursions were all first class! Uniworld obviously put a lot of thought into this ship and the crew is well trained in customer service. Never had an issue with the crew, the food or the ship. The cruise offered a variety of excursions and each was well organized and fun. I would not hesitate to recommend this cruise ...
My son works for a travel agency and won a trip on theSS Maria Theresa. We sailed July 2017. First of all, I am in awe that my son chose to take his Mom on this fairytale trip, my heart overflows with gratitude to him. This was my first time to Europe, it was totally breathtaking. I have severe back issues, even tho for almost a year before sailing I had several injections and procedures and ...
This was our second cruise with Uniworld and it was just as glorious as the first. This was an 8 day cruise called Enchanting Danube, This boat the Maria Theresa as all the Uniworld ships is lavish in décor. If you like simple and understated , this is not for you. But if your taste tends toward the Baroque there is nothing better. The technology in the staterooms and public rooms is state of ...
We have done several ocean cruises but this is the first river cruise, so our comparison point is not with other river cruises.
We had a very enjoyable time overall. The smaller ship (~150) was cozy and let the staff be more flexible in arrangements.
The ship facilities were good overall. The excursions were great. The quietvox system they used was really useful.
For the biking ...
We wanted to experience Eastern Europe, not having been there before, and chose an 8 day cruise between Budapest and Passau. The shore excursions were informative without being great and we sometimes had only brief periods to explore the cities/towns on our own. Our on board experience was mostly good and all the crew were ultra-attentive and always helpful. The restaurant service was impeccable ...
Please note that our family has lived overseas on three different continents, and we traveled a great deal in each area, usually on our own with children. We decided on this small cruise for several reasons: friends joined us, the area interested us, and the definite ease of travel. For the record: I will never, ever, ever take a cruise on a larger ship. Massive amounts of people make my skin ...
From the moment we stepped on board the SS Maria Theresa through to our drop off at the airport on the last day, we were treated like royalty. Without exception every crew member was pleasant, helpful and friendly. They seemed to know every passengers name by the second day ! The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The ship was lavishly and tastefully decorated following the theme ...
For me, when taking a cruise (or staying at a luxury hotel) for the second time, it rarely equals or exceeds the first time. HOWEVER, Uniworld changed everything for me.
We cruised on the SS Antionette 2 years ago for the "Castles on the Rhine" and were impressed beyond our expectations.
This time we cruised on the SS Maria Theresa for the "Enchanting Danube" Budapest to Passau cruise. Not ...
Our second cruise with Uniworld. Previous cruise - the Rhine.
Excellent accommodations, food/drink, and service from the crew members.
The embarkation and disembarkations were well planned and executed. The food with wine parings were superb. Shore excursions and our guides were excellent. We will definitely travel with Uniworld again and recommend it highly to our friends and ...
