We’ve been on-board!
I had the incredible opportunity to sail aboard Uniworld’s stunning new ship, the S.S. Victoria, on a 2-night journey from Frankfurt to Amsterdam, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Uniworld’s signature understated luxury was evident throughout, with elegant, contemporary décor and lavish staterooms that set the bar for river cruising excellence. From the serene and opulent onboard atmosphere to the exceptional dining experiences and visits to both vibrant cities and charming towns, it’s easy to see why so many people fall in love with river cruising.

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 SaintÉmilion bike tour and wine tasting which was so much fun and so picturesque, we cycled through the vineyards and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.
