What does luxury
MEAN TO YOU The word luxury means different things to different people. As you would expect with five-star hotels on land, there are different levels of luxury available to guests. As we see it, would you choose to stay in a chain hotel where you can find the same layout no matter where you are in the world, or would you choose to stay in a boutique luxury hotel offering an incredible new experience? Uniworld are an incredibly unique river cruise line, we have taken our inspiration from our sister brand, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection (known as some of the finest hotels in the world), making us the only river cruise line to operate a collection of luxury hotels. This means luxury is deep-rooted in our DNA, and we pride ourselves on being known as the most luxurious river cruise line in the world. 2

Imagine yourself slowly making your way through great cities and countryside on board your award winning, floating luxury hotel.

Truly immerse yourself in local culture as our smaller ships allow you to dock in the very heart of the world’s greatest cities, meaning you can be on shore quickly to discover the destination for yourself.

Today, visitors will find an array of monuments and sites commemorating the city’s history, alongside museums, churches, and abbeys.

Overnight stay in Auxerre
Auxerre
The charming riverside town of Auxerre traces its origins back to Roman times when it blossomed and became a provincial capital. Much of these historic roots are still visible today. It’s still every inch the postcard-worthy town featuring grand architecture set back from the river linked by elegant arching bridges. Visitors to Auxerre will undoubtedly enjoy the impressive town, but the surrounding Burgundy countryside is equally gorgeous featuring everything from vineyards to breathtaking Chateaux and the best places to stay in Auxerre are well-positioned to make the most of both of these.
