Long story short: ship, crew, excursions, food were all terrific. Had an amazing time and can't wait to go again.
Specifically for those with celiac disease / gluten free diet (or I imagine any other food restriction):
Chef Mario, Restaurant Manager Georgi and their staff were the highlight of this trip for me. Georgi appeared like magic to review the buffet or menu with me each meal and ...
After doing 20 ocean cruises, we just returned from our first river cruise on Uniworld River Empress and absolutely loved it!
The itinerary (Basel-Amsterdam) was fantastic, with mix of some larger cities (Basel/Amsterdam overnight, Frankfurt and Cologne) and some smaller charming villages/towns. Highly recommended.
Uniworld is one of the most inclusive lines, and it's considered a luxury ...
This is my 3rd Uniworld Cruise. I wanted to experience the wine region in a small interment way with like-minded people.
It was a fabulous experience. And the scenery was amazing.
The wine tours were fun and relaxed and informative.
The tour guides also knew their stuff.
Staff were helpful and waiters always interacted.
Bar staff were great and remembered your order (even down to ...
Honestly, we chose this cruise because it fit our dates and we wanted to get to Normandy. That being said, we were extremely impressed with a Uniworld. The ship was extraordinary. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and well designed with every detail thought out completely. The one qualm I would mention about the ship is that it appears that they don’t really care about the top deck. We saw ...
We have cruised with Silversea and Regent but had never done a river cruise We chose Castles on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel. We liked the itinerary and the all inclusive aspect of Uniworld.
When I stepped foot on the dock in Amsterdam and two men came running down the gangplank to handle my luggage, I knew we had made the right choice.
The staff was unbelievable. They were ...
A friend recommended Uniworld to me and I'm glad he did. What a wonderful experience it was.
The boat, the staff, the food, the scenery - everything exceeded my expectations.
And you could be as active or laid back as you desired. I started each day joining the exercise class on the top deck. There were daily walking tours of the local town or village where we were moored, a strenuous hike ...
Always wanted to visit the Normandy beaches & we got to a day after the anniversary. Uniworld did it exceptionally well with the Cruise Manager organising 103 white roses for guest to lay at the memorial or on Omaha beach. Very emotional esp with a live bugler brought in - even though I am from NZ still was amazing to be apart of. Well planned and certainly well paced itinerary. The crew were ...
We booked our tour with Uniworld based on our previous experience with them. There was a problem with the air portion of our trip which Uniworld had arranged. However, once we got to Budapest everything was just what we have come to expect from Uniworld. The Maria Theresa is a beautiful ship with plenty of elegance to spoil you during your cruise. The staff was always on hand to do whatever was ...
What a fantastic itinerary on the Rhine River and I just loved this ship! She is small and compact but brings the destination on board with local meals and local wines. I would recommend this itinerary for anyone who wants to see lots of small towns and villages in Europe. The crew on our cruise were outstanding and the attention to detail in the dining room was very impressive. Our waitress ...
This isn't really a river cruise as we didn't sail on a river but was one of hte best river cruises we have ever experienced. We spent 7 nights on the Venetian lagoon around the area of northern Italy. The ship is absolutely stunning and sleeps around 120 people. The decor is venetian in style and the cabin was compact but very well laid out. I loved the bathroom with marble everywhere. The food ...
