LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE on the world’s best luxury river cruise line.

You Deserve a Masterpiece.

I was introduced to Uniworld for the first time years ago, long before I had the pleasure of joining this magnificent organization. My first impression was similar to what I hear from our past guests— genuinely awestruck.

This most luxurious cruise line has that effect on you. The absolutely stunning, exquisite one-of-a- kind ship designs, authentically passionate crew and the locally inspired food (my gosh, the food) drew me in from the beginning and has yet to lose any luster. Once you set foot on our floating boutique hotels for the first time, I’m certain you’ll know exactly what I mean.

Throughout this book, you’ll read about many promises. Promises to provide you with amazing itineraries and onshore opportunities that can’t be found anywhere else. A promise to go above and beyond to make sure even the smallest details are exactly the way you’d like them to be. And a promise to treat our guests, our partners, and this wonderful world we live in with the utmost respect and appreciation. Everything included in the following pages is our pledge to you to deliver a travel experience beyond compare.

You deserve the best. You’ll see that message in our communications, but more importantly, you’ll see this commitment firsthand from the moment you step onboard until you wave goodbye after one of our staff personally escorts you to the airport.

I welcome you to join us on one of many amazing cruises in 2019.

The world is your canvas. Fill it with something wonderful.

Warmest regards,

ELLEN BETTRIDGE President & CEO Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection

LIVE WITH CONVICTION. Serve with passion.

The tiniest details often draw the brightest smiles, and initiating joyful grins is the goal for our staff and crew. But the biggest differences you may come to discover in our onboard family are the things we can’t teach them—a love of hospitality and passion for serving.

Our staff’s passion is apparent in their matchless attention to your interests, like remembering your personal drink order from day one, or venturing off the ship to surprise you with chocolates from the local candy shop you chatted about the previous evening. It’s evident when our Hotel Manager acquires hard-to-get tickets for you, for a show you mentioned you were longing to see. And it’s visible when the captain arranges an intimate dinner on the top deck, in celebration of your anniversary. We have a name for the mini moments and small niceties that take your voyage from great to grand—TINY NOTICEABLE TOUCHES.

“No request too large, no detail too small.”

It’s our way of life. And now, yours.

Our culinary philosophy is ever evolving, designed to appeal to the discerning palette of international travelers, with a variety of traditional dishes as well as inspired contemporary flavors, delicious healthy dining options and comfort cooking.

Our distinguished culinary team brings years of experience and unsurpassed passion to the table, and goes to great lengths to use ingredients that were sourced just miles down the road from where you’re docked to create delectable dishes that mirror the finest local restaurants. When in Budapest, our chef may venture to a local market to forage for ingredients for the evening’s citrus fruit marinated roast chicken with a honey-rosemary glaze. Or in Caudebec, your server may present you with beef bourguignon and deconstructed salad niçoise—a local specialty.

Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA—we’re the only cruise line to also own and operate a collection of luxury boutique hotels. Uniworld is modeled after our sister company, the five-star Red Carnation Hotels, and we’ve been able to tap into their more than 100 years of experience and bring their knowledge and expertise to the rivers.

One thing they’ve taught us? Luxury travel is best when it’s all in the family, which is why we employ our own full-time staff both onboard and onshore, and don’t outsource any elements of your cruise to third parties. When you travel with Uniworld, you know exactly what you’ll get, each and every time.

Born in Venice, Italy, Pino is recognized as the most prominent glass artist in the world, having honed his glassblowing technique since the age of 9. Pino’s specialty, his Murano glass horses, are on display all over the world, including onboard our S.S. Beatrice, S.S. Catherine and S.S. Joie de Vivre. Each is a sight to behold.

Artist Jane du Rand’s ceramic murals adorn the walls of hotels, spas, public spaces and homes throughout the world. Jane’s bright and bubbly style is one of a kind—a trait we’re particularly fond of. You can spot Jane’s work on many of our ships, including the S.S. Antoinette, where her mural in the dining room takes us back to a French château in the opulent 1700s. Jane lives by the motto that everything worth doing is worth doing well. Come see.

Renowned artist, Henry Dawnay’s paintings draw inspiration from the beauty, intricacy and depth of every moment, both big and small.

His painting, “Drawing Room,” currently resides in the River Princess’ Captain’s Lounge, along with a panoply of other original works of art that are just waiting to be discovered.
