Uniworld River Cruises Reviews

Enjoying an extraordinary dining experience comes down to a few special ingredients. The ambiance of an inviting restaurant. The camaraderie of friends. The talents of an expert chef. The refined service of a professionally-trained crew in an atmosphere of casual sophistication. And yes, the food itself – a delicious fusion of style, unique culinary creations, and taste inspired by the regions of your itinerary.

With Uniworld, you’ll enjoy menus planned by our international chefs who come to us from such renowned places as Cunard, Silverseas, London’s five-star Meridian Piccadilly and Relais & Châteaux Hotels. Menus are a blend of classic cuisine with a touch of contemporary elegance, and are created using only the finest and freshest ingredients often brought onboard from your ports of call. Tables are dressed with fine linens, cloth napkins and dinnerware, all of which enhance your dining experience. You’re surrounded by the beauty of passing riverbank towns and villages, and your knowledgeable and friendly crew is trained in the best traditions of personalized service—should you have a special meal preference, they will graciously accommodate your request.

Morning...
...begins with breakfast from an extensive array of choices. Enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet, including omelets, pancakes, Belgian waffles, French toast, bacon and sausages. Or have something light, continental style – cereals, an assortment of homemade breads, pastries, fresh fruits and juices, fine teas and French Press coffee from organic pure Arabica coffee beans.

Lunch...
...presents a delectable feast, with fresh salads, seasonable vegetables, artisan cheeses, homemade soups, carved-to-order roasts, assorted sandwiches and tempting desserts.

Evening...
...offers a single-open seating that allows you to vary your perspective on the scenery and meet more fellow travelers. Each night our talented chefs and culinary crew stand ready to fill your desires, from special requests to recommendations from our extensive wine list. With gourmet selections of seafood and meats, our menu is designed to acquaint guests with a special style of cuisine reflective of the destinations you visit. Roasted butternut salad, filet mignon and Crepes Suzette are just some of the specialties available. Fine complimentary wine is served nightly during dinner* on our European company-owned cruises, along with a range of decadent desserts – from Crème Brulee to Chocolate and Hazelnut Gateau to Tiramisu to fresh homemade fruit pies – all which should not be missed!

Food choices may vary on ships in Russia, Egypt and China.
*Complimentary wine is offered on 2008 Europe company-owned ships only.

With a ratio of one crew member for every three guests, you’ll be well taken care of by our world-class, attentive, all English-speaking crew, who offer exceptional service guaranteed! Gracious and accommodating, our professionally-trained crew is with you every step of the way to help you get the most out of your vacation, which means offering you that little something extra that makes your cruise truly memorable.

Whether it is an omelet prepared just the way you like it, being greeted with a refreshing beverage by a friendly crew member as you walk back onboard the ship after an excursion ashore, or listening to an informative lecture by your Cruise Manager, there are certain things you expect in good service. You can expect all those things and more when you join us on a Grand River Cruise and Tour. Because for us, service is an art. It is warm and genuine.

Here, “well trained” is not just a phrase, but a philosophy. Your English-speaking crew knows both your cruise’s route and your personal preferences. They are eager to share with you their insights into the places you visit. They take pride in seeing you smile. For a few precious days, the world indeed revolves around you, and we would have it no other way.

Visiting. Sharing. Laughing. Feeling at home. This is how friendship works. We look forward to welcoming you, a valued friend, aboard soon.

After a day of sightseeing, nothing feels better than stepping into a well-appointed personal sanctuary, where everything is just as you like it. Your Uniworld Grand River Cruise stateroom fits the bill beautifully.

Our inviting hotel-style beds are draped with the finest European-style comforters and duvets, soft 100% Egyptian combed cotton sheets, and wool/ cashmere blended throws. A choice of pillows, including down-filled, ensure a restful night’s sleep. Private bathrooms stocked with soothing aromatherapy bath amenities and a cozy robe add a touch of luxury. Soft, thick towels from Christies of Manchester – the oldest and most renowned towel maker in Europe – wrap you in warmth. Flat-screen televisions offer a selection of channels, including CNN. And for viewing Europe’s ever-changing scenery, a sitting area by the window could hardly be more perfect.

Each stateroom also features generous built-in closet space, a vanity with make-up mirror, complimentary bottled water, hair dryer, individually controlled air conditioning, direct dial telephone and in-stateroom safe.

For the ultimate in comfort, try a Uniworld suite, an indulgent space rarely found on other ships. Ours are extra spacious and include a luxurious bathroom, a sitting area with a sofa and two chairs, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Amenities aboard our Grand River Cruise ships certainly rival those you will find in fine hotels. The difference is, your Uniworld stateroom travels with you. Unpack once and make yourself at home!

Amenities in staterooms may vary on ships in Russia, Portugal, Egypt and China ships.
