Fall in love with the river cruise experience!

The serene nature of river cruises, and the intimate ships that take to waterways across the world are what attract customers to this way of travelling. A river cruise is similar to lots of city breaks rolled into one, reaching a new destination each day without the hassle of packing and unpacking in between. Enjoy staying in a cabin with similar décor to a boutique hotel where the views constantly change as the world’s waterways pass by on either side.

Compared to ocean cruise ships, river cruise ships are much smaller, allowing them to sail further into the ports and inner depths of the cities on your itinerary. There will also be significantly less passengers as river cruises only carry between 120 and 160 guests.

Every day there is a new destination for you to explore and experience, making it a truly immersive cruising holiday.

“From the moment I stepped aboard Avalon Envision, I felt welcome. The crew were always so happy to help and soon knew your names and favourite drinks for the evening. They recommended places to visit while in port and were keen to find out how we had spent our days once we returned, something I think you’d only get on a river cruise!”

Jo, Product Executive

“Uniworld is exceptional value for money. Dining in both restaurants, drinks, excursions, gratuities, and much more is included! I had the most amazing time, the ship had such a luxurious feel throughout and I loved my time exploring the ship.”

Gabriella, Marketing

“The ship was fantastic with lots of places to relax, my favourite spot was the top deck with the sun loungers and deck games, it was a perfect place to relax and enjoy sailing through the French countryside. AmaWaterways include a choice of excursions and there is something to suit everyone. My favourite excursion of the holiday was the Saint-Émilion bike tour and wine tasting which was so much fun and so picturesque, we cycled through the vineyards and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.”

All in all I had the most amazing trip and the memories made on this trip with Uniworld will stay with me for a very long time.”
