Uniworld 2023/2024 World Brochure (SA)

TINY NOTICEABLE TOUCHES

You Deserve the Best

For more than four decades, Uniworld has specialised in providing intimate and in-depth one-of-a-kind journeys for travellers seeking to explore the rivers of the world in exceptional style. We’d be honoured to welcome you onboard any one of our 17 destination-inspired ships, to cruise in all-inclusive luxury on the rivers of Europe, Egypt, Peru, India, Vietnam and Cambodia

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to journey abroad or even take that bucket-list trip you’ve always dreamed of, now is that time.

Find your inspiration as you read through the pages of this brochure. From our more traditional cruises along the Rhine, Main and Danube —offering up experiences both picturesque and historic; to our trips that will invigorate lovers of food and wine alike— Brilliant Bordeaux , Venice & the Jewels of Veneto and the Douro River Valley ; and even cruises perfect for bringing families together as our Holiday Markets itineraries do, there is truly something for everyone.

If you’re looking to GO BIG on your return to travel, may I suggest a 16-day journey into the Peruvian Amazon onboard an intimate 32-passenger ship, inclusive of a once-in-a-lifetime visit to Machu Picchu? Or maybe a Cruise & Rail Journey is right for you—combining all the best elements of land, river and train travel. We’ve even introduced two brand new 47-day and 55-day Rivers of the World itineraries for guests looking for the ultimate world cruise, sailing in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

In whichever way you choose to explore the rivers of the world, do it in the unparalleled style of Uniworld. After all, you deserve the best

Warmest regards,

WELCOME TO LUXURY RIVER CRUISING

This is cruising at its absolute best

ONE-OF-A-KIND BOUTIQUE SHIPS

One of the highlights of your river cruise will be the ship you sail on. Each of our one-of-a-kind ships is like a floating boutique hotel; designed to immerse you in the destination and fully equipped with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces and multiple dining venues throughout.

ALL-INCLUSIVE AMENITIES

Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your meals to premium drinks, a host of onboard wellness opportunities plus your daily shore excursions. We’ve even included the onboard gratuities. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Uniworld experience.

INTIMATE & RELAXING EXPERIENCE

Compared to ocean cruising, a river cruise ship is smaller and therefore offers guests a far more intimate experience. With just an average of 120 guests onboard, you can get to know your fellow travellers and also receive better access to the incredible staff onboard.

Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a tradi tional cruise, along with all the benefits of land travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden gem villages, unpacking only once. River cruising is the best way to cruise, and the best and most luxurious river cruises are with Uniworld.

UNMATCHED CONVENIENCE

By its nature, cruising along rivers allows you to travel directly through the heart of countries, giving you access to some of the world's greatest cities right outside your window. You’ll travel to multiple destinations with ease, only unpacking once.

IMMERSIVE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

We’ve selected culturally immersive experiences on every journey. These range from early access to the world's greatest landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, private after-hours visit to St. Mark’s Basilica or receiving a breathtaking water blessing from a Cambodian monk.

CONNECT & STAY CONNECTED

Unencumbered by large crowds, you’ll effortlessly meet people who share your passion for travel and exploration, and stay connected with loved ones back home with complimentary shipwide Wi-Fi.

A HISTORY OF OUR HOSPITALITY EXCELLENCE

The story of our guiding visionary

From the moment you step onboard our one-of-a-kind award-winning ships, you notice the Uniworld difference. Our guiding visionary, Bea Tollman, is the creative mind behind our luxury, floating boutique hotel experience and her personal touches can be found everywhere—from the distinct design of our ships, the recipes for our locally sourced cuisine and the unmatched staff attentiveness. She has been honoured for a lifetime of achievement in hospitality, including an induction into the British Travel and Hospitality Hall of Fame . We’re proud to follow her commitment to hospitality excellence.

DESIGNED TO INSPIRE

Bea has helped design our ships to reflect the rivers they cruise on, with bespoke themes, colour palettes, original art and personally selected furnishings. Step onboard one of our floating boutique hotels and get a sense of her heart and love of hospitality in every room.

A NOURISHED PALATE

Much of the attention to detail you’ll find onboard took root in the kitchen. A temporary solution to help her husband, Stanley Tollman, with their first hotel paved the way for a life in food, later translating into the many delicious dishes and culinary feats that have become a cornerstone for Red Carnation Hotels and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises alike.

A SPIRIT OF SERVICE

To this very day, Bea remains hands-on. Over the years, she’s instilled many of her core values into how we interact with our guests. Whether it’s remembering exactly how you like your cocktail prepared, ending every exchange with a cheerful grin or surprising you with a thoughtful treat, Bea and her family have created a legacy of providing unforgettable experiences.

Ashford Castle, Cong, Ireland

FOLLOWING IN THE CREATIVE FOOTSTEPS

of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection

Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA—we’re the only cruise line to also own and operate a collection of luxury boutique hotels. Uniworld is modelled after our sister company, the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection, and we’ve been able to tap into their more than 100 years of experience and bring their knowledge and expertise to the rivers.

Thanks to their words of wisdom, we employ our own full-time st aff, both onboard and onshore, and don’t outsource any elements of your cruise to third parties. When you travel with Uniworld, you know exactly what you’ll get, each and every time.

Learn more about the inspiration behind our beautiful boutique hotels on water at Uniworld.com/RCH

THE MOST PERSONAL SERVICE

from the most tenured crew on the rivers

We treat our staff and guests like family—a philosophy instilled in our company culture as a family-owned business. This philosophy, rooted in the Tollman family’s long-standing involvement in the hospitality industry, is the driving force behind our guest-centric atmosphere. And it’s the reason you leave your cruise feeling like part of the family.

It’s also why each detail carries the same weight. “No request is too large, No detail too small” comes to life in the interactions we share with our guests. Your river cruise is focused on a singular goal: to give you the unique and unforgettable experience you seek, with the personalised, industry-leading service you deserve.

Every guest receives our full attention, with an incredible guest-to-staff ratio of 2.4 to 1 (the best on the rivers), unmatched attention to detail and in-suite butlers trained to the same standards of excellence required by Buckingham Palace—because everything worth doing, is worth doing well.

“First Uniworld cruise and would definitely recommend them as a preferred cruise line. Paid attention to my every need. Very attentive to every detail.”

– Deborah, ENCHANTING DANUBE

AN ARTFUL PRESENTATION

of delicious farm-to-table cuisine

A CUT ABOVE THE REST

Uniworld’s kitchens attract a particularly talented team of chefs, every one of them passionate about turning local ingredients into culinary masterpieces. Their work has even earned Uniworld recognition by the prestigious gastronomical society, The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

OUR RECIPES, CATERED TO YOU

For those interested in healthier dining options, our Travelling Lite menu features all the flavour of our traditional menu, but with fewer calories. We also offer a variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, prepared just for you. If you have a specific meal preference or desire, just ask.

WE’VE HONED OUR CRAFT

Our culinary philosophy is ever-evolving, designed to appeal to the discerning palates of international travellers, with a variety of traditional dishes, inspired contemporary flavours, delicious healthy dining options and comfort cooking. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, each meal is carefully crafted exactly to your tastes.

ENDLESS POURS

With every meal, you can enjoy a choice of featured fine local wines, selected by our onboard sommelier and grown and bottled directly from the regions you visit. Or enjoy a glass from Uniworld’s own award-winning vineyard, Bouchard Finlayson, proudly served on every ship.

ONE-OF-A-KIND SHIPS

inspired by their destinations

The ships in our fleet are passion projects, through and through. Every unique design scheme and piece of art— the structure, the intricacy and the handcrafted items—is assembled to be a masterpiece in and of itself. To step onboard is to step into a world where the colours and one-of-a-kind details of your destinations come to life.

OUR COMMITMENT

to unrivaled excellence in luxury river cruising

More than 10 years ago we redefined the term “unsurpassed luxury” when we launched the first Super Ship—the S.S. Antoinette. With custom décor that brought the Rhine region to life onboard, this ship completely transformed the standards of river cruising. We continue to launch new Super Ships with each passing year as we work towards transforming our entire fleet, delivering the absolute best experience in river cruising.

Our Super Ships represent the epitome of luxury in river cruising. It’s the oneof-a-kind design that Uniworld represents, with more suites, more dining options and more luxurious Tiny Noticeable Touches throughout.

Uniworld guests have 10 extraordinary Super Ships to choose from, including the newest to our fleet— S.S. Sphinx in Egypt, Mekong Jewel in Vietnam & Cambodia, S.S. La Venezia in Italy and S.S. São Gabriel in Portugal.

We don’t believe in filling the rivers with a large fleet of identical ships. We believe in quality over quantity. That’s why the select few ships we operate account for the best of the best on the world’s rivers. This commitment to quality has consistently earned us a top ranked spot in both Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure ’s World’s Best Awards, year after year.

“We have enjoyed traveling on Uniworld based on the unique design of each ship and the personal attention everyone always provides.”

– Alan, GRAND FRANCE

A PASSION FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

and a penchant for giving back

As part of our dedication to sustainability, we focus on making a positive impact and advocating for environmental, social and economic responsibility under the guidance of Uniworld’s Sustainability Officer, Julie Higgins.

01

CLIMATE ACTION

We have conducted comprehensive measurements of our emissions in order to understand and reduce our carbon footprint, all a part of our end goal to achieve net zero. On our way to a low-emissions economy, we’re supporting nature-based carbon removal solutions through our TreadRight Foundation We are also committed to reducing food waste by 50% and to sourcing at least 50% of our electricity from renewable sources by 2025.

02

SINGLE-USE PLASTICS ELIMINATION INITIATIVE

We’re setting our sights on a plastic-free future. We’re in the process of banning more than 60 types of single-use plastics—including straws, water bottles and bags—across all operations. We are constantly working with our suppliers to avoid plastic wrapping on goods and find more ways to eliminate waste onboard.

03

LEANPATH

Food waste is one of the largest contributors to climate change, so we’ve partnered with a food waste management company, Leanpath, to reduce our carbon footprint. Their system measures how much food gets discarded after every meal onboard. With the precise measurements it will provide us, our chefs will have the data and confidence necessary to make the perfect amount of each dish. We are always working to increase our local and organic food suppliers, for the freshest and most sustainable cuisine onboard.
