Congratulations and celebrations at Uniworld

Not only has Uniworld sailed onto Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious 2008 Gold List and their Reader’s Choice Awards for the World’s Top 10 Small Cruise Lines, but now five of Uniworld’s ships have placed high up on the just-released Condé Nast’s Top Cruise Ships Worldwide, with two of Uniworld’s ships ranked at number 3, River Royale, and number 4, River Duchess.

The list ranks the top 37 small cruise ships in the world based on the following criteria: itineraries, shore excursions, crew/service, cabins, food/dining, activities/facilities, and design/layout.

Uniworld Grand River Cruises has built its reputation over the past 30 years by having the most luxurious river cruise ships, developing innovative itineraries with custom-blended shore excursions, and consistently providing world-class service – all of which have earned Uniworld well-deserved recognition for having some of the finest ships worldwide, alongside the world’s most respected and luxurious cruise lines such as Silverseas, Regent and Seabourn.

Uniworld’s ships have been completely refurbished to the highest standards of comfort and elegance. With a maximum of 134 guests per ship and a ratio of 1 highly trained crew member to every 3 guests, Uniworld’s staff can offer more attentive, personalized service.

All staterooms provide river views with hotel-style beds draped in the finest linens, duvets and cashmere/wool blankets. An outstanding meal program has been created by award winning chefs who prepare a wonderful selection of dishes using fresh local produce available from the destinations of each itinerary. And onshore, Uniworld ensures the best quality included excursions hosted by expert English-speaking local guides.
