New season of Paris voyages begins at Uniworld

Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection opens a new season of voyages from the heart of Paris with three extraordinary cruises. In 2009, guests can enjoy such scenic treasures as Vienna and Budapest, in addition to the romance of Paris, aboard Uniworld's intimate cruise ship, the River Princess.

"We know Paris is, and will continue to be, a premier destination for travelers," said Guy Young, president of Uniworld. "Now our guests can enhance their journey to Paris with visits to other legendary cities throughout Europe."

From the famed Riesling vineyards of Wachau Valley to the ever-changing city of Bucharest, guests will experience unforgettable vacations that begin or conclude in Paris, the City of Lights.

The three new Paris itineraries range from more than a week to over a month.

A gourmet culinary staff prepares cuisine onboard with the region's freshest ingredients, and guests enjoy complimentary fine wine served during dinner.

Local English-speaking experts lead guests onshore to the hidden treasures of each port, and as an added treat, guests can take pleasure in Uniworld's new Epicurean Adventurer Program offering a host of culinary delights including private wine tastings, special wine and food pairings, cooking demonstrations and unique onshore excursions.
