We have taken four tours with Uniworld. Each has been an enjoyable experience. Their service is excellent and try provide outstanding customer service. We will book with them again and would recommend their company to anyone looking for an enjoyable river cruise.

Reviewed on Jan 25, 2020

The inability of most of the staff to speak/understand English when 90% plus of the passengers were English speaking is a real negative. Little personalized care/interaction from the room stewards or dining room staff compared to other luxury cruise lines : Viking, WindStar, Avalon, Oeania. The ship was in need of refurbishing and was scheduled for such, but was forced into continued service after the fire on the Sphynx but seriously....graffiti scratched into the mirror behind the bedside lamp in room 307 is absolutely unacceptable. It could and should have been covered in some way.
