EVERY SHIP IS A MUSEUM ON WATER. BUT IT’S OKAY TO EAT AND DRINK NEAR THE ARTWORK. Art is the journey of a free soul, so come on and let your soul free onboard Uniworld’s boutique one-of-a-kind ships. Every award-winning ship is inspired by the beauty, colors and intricate detail of the destinations you’ll visit on your voyage. Take the S.S. Antoinette, fashioned after Marie Antoinette’s 18th-century Chateau de Versailles; the S.S. Maria Theresa, which some have described as a floating baroque Viennese palace; or the brand-new S.S. Joie de Vivre, inspired by 20th-century Paris. Your ship is a destination in and of itself, with hidden elements and artful refinements waiting to be explored in every room. Not only is each Uniworld ship unique, complete with handcrafted furniture commis sioned exclusively for Uniworld, carefully curated original artwork and antiques, and a bespoke design scheme, but each room onboard your ship is as well. Relax in the art deco–inspired lounge on the River Queen — one of the only ships on the rivers of Europe with a working fireplace. Then relax in your custom stateroom and fall into a blissful sleep on your Savoir® of England bed.

EACH SHIP IS A WORK OF ART ON WATER, JUST AS EACH DESTINATION YOU’LL VISIT IS A WORK OF ART ON LAND.

IT’S YOUR WORLD. AND IF IT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU, it’s very important to us.

When it comes to service, Uniworld knows the tiniest of details sometimes have the biggest impact. Getting ready for a day exploring Frankfurt is a shimmer brighter when your butler has already pressed your pants exactly how you like. Breakfast in bed becomes even more relaxing when your waiter serves you coffee already prepared to your liking — two sugars and a splash of soy milk. And a late-night cocktail is never more enjoyable than when the bartender sourced your favorite Bordeaux wine from a store in town while you were exploring Saint-Émilion’s astonishing 12th-century Monolithic Church.

Uniworld actually has a name for the little niceties that take your cruise from great to grand — Tiny Noticeable Touches (or TNTs for short). The commitment to TNTs sets the stage for their service philosophy. By getting to know you, your interests, your preferences and your style, they’re able to deliver an experience that is just the way you’d like it to be.

“NO REQUEST TOO LARGE, NO DETAIL TOO SMALL.” They don’t just say it. They really mean it, as evidenced by the many repeat guests who choose Uniworld time and time again.

THE TNT MODEL The most highly trained, dedicated and tenured staff of all river cruise lines. | Butlers trained to the same standards of excellence required by Buckingham Palace. | Act with honesty, speak with integrity and treat our guests like royalty.

EVERY MEAL IS A MASTERPIECE. Uniworld’s commitment to culinary excellence is evident every time you enjoy a homemade croissant delivered to your room by your butler, or when you pair your freshly caught seafood dinner with a wine that was bottled just miles down the road. When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit. The farm-to-table approach takes Uniworld’s chefs to regional farms, local markets and artisanal producers to ensure that every meal is an adventure in and of itself. Cooking is treated as an art form — a very delicious art form. Uniworld’s focus on serving memorable meals comes directly from world-renowned Mrs. Beatrice Tollman — founder of our sister Red Carnation Hotel Collection, author of the highly acclaimed cookbook A Life in Food and the inspiration behind the culinary philosophy onboard. Mrs. Tollman’s personal recipes are guest favorites on all dining menus. Pro Tip: Don’t order a salad without sampling her favorite dressing.

ENJOY AN UNRIVALED TASTE OF YOUR DESTINATIONS even when onboard.

FROM FARM TO SHIP Farm-to-table isn’t just a trendy culinary buzzword. It’s a governing philosophy and commit ment to serving you the very best local dishes created by Uniworld’s master chefs. When in Italy, dinner may consist of Prosciutto di Parma pizza and Osso Buco Milanese, prepared to your liking, with meats and vegetables sourced from just miles away. Live brilliantly. Dine locally. That’s Uniworld’s story and they’re sticking to it.

VACATION YOUR WAY Each ship design has been inspired by the destinations you’ll visit, which means your destinations will be pretty spectacular. Included excursions are curated exclusively for Uniworld guests, and are your gateway to immersing yourself in the authentic culture, sights and cuisine of the places you’ll visit.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS Choose an active excursion, a culturally enriching one or a “Gentle Walking” tour that lets you explore at a more leisurely pace. With more than 80 excursions that are completely unique to Uniworld guests, nothing onboard is cookie-cutter, so your time onshore shouldn’t be either. These included excursions, as well as Uniworld’s Exclusive Experiences, feature several options throughout the entire day, so you can adventure onwards exactly how you’d like.

Let’s Go: Put on your walking shoes or your favorite bike shorts and head out on a hiking or biking excursion. Nordic walking poles and custom Uniworld bicycles are available for you to use onshore. With compliments, of course.

Do as the Locals Do: Experience life just as a local would with these specialty excursions designed to give you an authentic inside look into your destination. With Uniworld’s VizEat partnership, you can get a taste of the city and share a meal in the home of a local host.

Village Day: Discover some of the prettiest and most charming towns and cities on these intimate adventures, offering an in-depth look into quaint destinations and the local people who bring them to life.

“BOOKING THE TRIP WAS EASY AND THE GRAND EUROPEAN STAFF WAS HELPFUL ALONG THE WAY.

THE DOURO RIVER Starting in Spain and winding through Portugal, the Douro River isn’t one of Europe’s best-known rivers, and that’s exactly why we love it.

Both programs offer the chance to visit bustling Lisbon; postcardperfect Porto; and UNESCO-designated Salamanca, dubbed the “Golden City” for its glowing sandstone buildings. And for those who want to experience more of Spain, our “Jewels” itinerary offers three nights in its lively capital city. Delve into Madrid, enjoying its many majestic and iconic treasures, including the world-famous Prado Museum, and experiencing its dynamic nightlife with a spectacular flamenco show.

ITINERARY CHANGES: You can count on the value of Uniworld’s experience and regional knowledge to make sure you enjoy your cruise-tour even when conditions beyond our control occur. The very nature of a river, its sources, and networks of bridges and locks, means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region require Uniworld to make adjustments and/or modifications to an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries, vessels, and hotels as they are shown in the brochure, Uniworld reserves the right to substitute itineraries, hotels or vessels. In such cases, we will do everything we can to make sure the locations visited, the excursions taken and the hotels or vessels offered are similar to the ones originally planned. Any changes to itineraries will not result in eligibility for a refund. Itineraries are subject to change without notice and may need to be altered specifically because of water levels, wind factors, or other conditions. Guests who choose to cancel or interrupt their cruise or cruise-tour due to an itinerary change will be subject to Uniworld’s standard Cancellation Policy. EXTENSIONS/LAND TOURS: Uniworld reserves the right to reschedule and/or cancel land extensions or land tours if the minimum number of participants (20 people) is not met or for safety reasons. If you, as the Passenger, choose to cancel your pre- or post-cruise extension eightynine (119) days or less before departure, then please refer to the Cancellation Policy section for the applicable cancellation policy and penalties that will be applied. ADVANCED, CANCELED, OR DELAYED SAILING: Uniworld reserves the right to cancel, advance or postpone any scheduled sailing date and may, but is not obligated to, substitute hotels or vessels. Grand European Travel or Uniworld shall not be liable for any loss to you by reason of any such cancellation, advancement or postponement. In the event of cancellation by Uniworld, your sole right of recourse shall be to obtain a refund of monies paid to Grand European Travel in connection with such cruise-tour. Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation. Risks are involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties. You must accept these risks and assume responsibility for your own travel decisions. HEALTH AND MOBILITY: Uniworld strives to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable travel experience for all passengers. Uniworld welcomes passengers with special needs or disabilities. However, please note the following: • Passengers are required to advise the agent at time of booking of any physical, medical, or other special needs that require accommodation.
