Uniworld Provence and Burgundy

August

Pros: Staff was excellent and so was the food

Cons: Parking beside other boats frequently, blocking my view. Schedule details

Recommended: Yes

Uniworld could do a better job of detailing the schedule in advance of boarding the ship, including times for the excursions. Also, most travelers did not know that “limited” tours could be booked in advance.

Cruising the Rhine

October

Pros: This is a trip which has very little “cruising” so the culinary and excursion experiences are critical. We had not been with Uniworld previously (we have been very pleased with AMA). We must say that Uniworld on the Catherine exceeded expectations. The culinary offerings were excellent. And the standard wine was outstanding - all from the vineyards of Southern France. The “included” tours were quite good with very good to outstanding tour guides. The only “extra” tour we took was to a truffle farm with a demonstration by a truffle dog and wine tasting in Chatenuef du Pape - worth the extra charge. NO trips were cancelled as we recently encountered with Regent and they even added a bus when there was extra interest.

Cons: Somewhat limited free excursions. Only one lecture about female impressionists - very interesting, but having the opportunity to learn more of area would have been nice.

Recommended: Yes

We would definitely consider Uniworld for another cruise.

Uniworld thought of everything from offering a variety of tours to acknowledging our anniversary by leaving champaign and decorations in our room to added touches such as chocolate covered strawberries.

Uniworld Burgundy and Provence 2021

October

Pros: Service, professionalism, staff and tours. Great itinerary.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Uniworld Burgundy & Provence cruise. The south of France is absolutely beautiful. There were only 74 passengers onboard which made the experience even more intimate. The entire Uniworld staff was amazing. No request was too big. Service was first class and the tours were all fantastic. A particular shout out to Ivana (Hotel Manager) and Pierre (Tour Manager) who went above and beyond to make this a special holiday for us.

Beyond Expectations

October

Pros: The crew and the service. Although the ship is beautiful, without a superlative crew it would have only been a ship. The crew was wonderful, dedicated to service and very well trained.

Cons: None (the weather failed to cooperate; however, not undere the Captains control)

Recommended: Yes

We will do this again. We relaxed, were pampered, and enjoyed the entire cruise.

First River Cruise- Outstanding!

June

Pros: Everything felt like first class

Cons: Some of the excursions don’t allow you free time

Recommended: Yes

This was our first river cruise & scheduled tour. I’m afraid the bar has been set very high for all subsequent trips like this we hope to take! Everything about the ship, staff, on board dining and the excursions were excellent. Going on a planned tour doesn’t allow for a lot of free time or individual exploration, however that is the trade off for well thought out tours & great guides. We cannot recommend Uniworld enough to enjoy a river cruise vacation.
