I loved our Uniworld cruise! Everything was top notch.

We booked this trip with a knowledgeable agent who did a fine job. When our flight was delayed, she contacted our river cruise ship and kept everyone informed.

This was an excellent trip with a good variety of experiences. Service is really great--staff is friendly and attentive. Although it seems to me that there was more upselling (to special dinners or what Uniworld calls Masterpiece Collection excursions) than what I had encountered in the past, I have to say that these were some of the best experiences, so in that sense were worth what I paid for them. To explain the accomodation ranking below "strongly agree" : 1) The picture of the stateroom on the website showed 2 chairs-an important feature for us. There was only one when we checked in but they brought another chair right away.

The itinerary and staff were both superb! We were on the boat during the big power outage in Portugal, Spain and Italy. Uniworld adapted so well, and changed the order of our itinerary around the outages, as the locks were not working. We did not miss anything on our advertised agenda.

The staff, service, food and excursions were all exceptional. Will book with Uniworld again!

Weather was outstanding which made the trip truly enjoyable and memorable.

Cruising with Uniworld is a wonderful experience

We had a wonderful trip after Delta finally got us to Frankfurt. It’s a lovely ship with a superb crew.

Everything about the experience was excellent from the moment of boarding and receiving the solicitous attention of the staff, which continued from start to finish. Superb on-board service. The ship was wonderfully quiet and comfortable. The amenities were luxurious. Meals were tasty and filling. The onshore trips were excellent and varied, with high quality guides. Having buses to take us to places not otherwise accessible from the landing added a great deal. As a result, the itinerary was rich with history and beautiful places. I am looking forward to my next river cruise!

The only negative we have - some of the tour operators were hard to understand.

This was our 4th Uniworld cruise and each has been a memorable experience. Staff and menu are both important aspects of a cruise, and Uniworld excels in both areas. Decor of both public areas and cabins is unique and tasteful, adding a special flavor to the cruise experience. Our cruise director on the SS Catherine was exception in terms of knowledge and service.

The trip up the Rhone River more than met our expectations (except it rained more than we liked!). It was a marvelous trip that the eight of us (four couples) enjoyed very much,

I thoroughly enjoyed this river cruise along the Danube. Everything was as advertised. We were met at the airport and arrived early to our ship. The Uniworld staff was amazing! I definitely recommend this cruise.

Small group on ship. Great for meeting new people. Great friendly professional staff. Excellent food. Depending on destinations excursions are good. This was our second time with Uniworld. First was Italy. That was unbelievable.
