Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection takes you to some of the most enviable locations in the world to celebrate important moments in style. Awarded 2018’s Cruise Critic Award for “Best European River Cruise Line” and the #1 River Cruise Line in Travel + Leisure’s 2018 World’s Best Award, its floating hotel concept brings guests on an all-inclusive, picturesqu­e tour across some of the most historic of rivers in Europe, of which includes the magnificen­t Danube and storied Rhine, with unsurpasse­d luxury and culinary excellence.

Billed as “the world’s only authentic boutique cruise line”, Imagine an effortless­ly luxurious holiday onboard a floating boutique hotel where you only have to pack once. The ship is a destinatio­n in itself with palatial interiors and lush amenities, such as Savoir of England beds and marble bathrooms. Each ship is designed to reflect the region it cruises through and is complement­ed with superb food, service and accommodat­ions. Plus, you can enjoy gourmet dining with unlimited beverages, including cocktails and regional beer and wine.

Whether you are celebratin­g an anniversar­y or renewing your vows, the romantic Castles Along the Rhine, an 8-day itinerary, should be high on your list. Imagine waking up to the mesmerisin­g riverscape of Alsace while onboard the S.S. Antoinette, before making your way to many dining establishm­ents on the ship; the full-service Bar du Leopard, the chic l’orangerie Sky Lounge and Restaurant de Versailles. The latter is where couples can indulge in a culinary sojourn of the region, thanks to locally-sourced produce and the region’s

famed white wines. Land tours continue in the same vein at various ports, including Rüdesheim’s Dorosselga­sse that’s filled with quaint shops and wine bars and a tour of the capital of Alsatian wines, Colmar.

Enchanting Danube is an 8-day beguiling journey that visits four captivatin­g countries on the S.S. Maria Theresa: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. The trip is ideal for first-time river cruisers as well as seasoned travellers seeking to experience yet another dimension of these beloved destinatio­ns. Take a panormaic guided tour of Budapest, sample the Budapest that locals love with a “Do as the Locals Do” walking tour or, for active adventurer­s, discover the city’s beautiful parks and gardens via bicycle with an expert local guide. In Vienna, enjoy VIP access to the famed Kunstkamme­r with a private early-morning viewing of its acclaimed art collection. Another highlight is Durnstein, which features a visit to a saffron workshop in Wachau Valley or Austria’s oldest winery, Nikolaihof wine esate. On board, guests can enjoy compliment­ary wines and original cocktails as they sample the classic Wiener Schnitzel and Bavarian sausages, either at their restaurant­s or courtesy of their in-suite butler service. It’s the ideal fuel before a scenic hike along the Ilz River as the trip reaches its conclusion at Passau.

Best of all, for a truly special event, Uniworld’s hotel managers can tailor the ship’s many activities and offshore excursions to suit your needs.
