Dear River Heritage Club,
Every season holds special delights for world travelers like ourselves, but I must admit that our fall and winter sailing season holds a special place in my heart. As the weather cools and the summer travel boom begins to fade, a sense of peace takes over and allows local culture to shine all the brighter. Fall foliage swathes the riversides in gorgeous shades of red and gold, which then gives way to a blanket of snow.
It’s pure magic, and especially suited to travel with family and friends. Europe’s holiday market season, in particular, is the perfect crowd pleaser, delighting travelers of all ages in equal measure. And our ships are certainly a sight to behold at this time of year. Decked in yuletide décor, the entire onboard atmosphere shifts to highlight the warmth and customs of Christmas in Europe.
We hope to see you join in the fun onboard for our fall and winter sailings this year!
Warmest regards,
ELLEN BETTRIDGE CEO, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
