We had a great time The tour guide was terrific and the hotel and cruise ship were excellent. We visited all of the major sites It was a top notch trip!

Great trip that I would recommend to anyone, the cruise line was great!

I wish a farewell dinner was planned as part of our trip itinerary. We missed seeing and saying our final good byes to the members of our group especially those we grew closed to.

The trip itself exceeded all expectations, and we can't wait to book our next. The cabin was a bit smaller than we expected but we got used to it quickly. Merci

Everyone was very helpful and prompt. As for our trip we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again.

The staff on our cruise was EXCEPTIONAL !!!!  Staff were all very nice !

This trip was way beyond my expectations in terms of quality and service.

Traveling with Uniworld was a first class experience. The staff were exceptionally good and we witnessed many occasions where they went out of their way to assist someone. The lecture series onboard was also outstanding. I would highly recommend this Russian River Cruise to anyone.

this was my 4th trip with Uniworld. I still think they are the best!! The itinerary is great

The river cruise was wonderful-everything I expected. Note: The River Countess that I was on Aug. 9 for 13 days was a nicer ship than the River Baroness 8/30-9/9- technology and computer access better-standard staterooms bigger- common areas larger and more appealing.

We had a great trip and look forward to another River Cruise on Uniworld!

Uniworld provided a great experience, great accomodations and superb service. We really enjoyed the staff of the cruise and they helped make the trip even more memorable.

Staff onboard the River Victoria were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to ensure all passengers were treated with respect. We were extremely impressed and pleased with the level of service and attention to details.

Excellent trip. Your tour company was very helpful. Uniworld was wonderful.
