Europe’s legendary rivers—the Rhine, Moselle, Danube, and Main, and the countless canals and waterways of Belgium and the Netherlands—will provide the perfect backdrop for your vacation. From the imposing castles along the Rhine to the vineyard-clad regions of the Moselle and Danube, to the meandering and peaceful Main, Uniworld offers 18 expertly planned itineraries.

Nothing touches all of the senses like the rhythm of life during springtime, so Uniworld offers Tulips & Windmills, and Springtime Along the Rhine. These two programs feature the best these regions have to offer, plus they include the famous Keukenhof Gardens, a 70-acre showcase of more than 7 million flowers, including 1,000 varieties of Tulips. Uniworld offers plenty of itineraries that provide wine and food connoisseurs with an in depth appreciation for both. The Legendary Rhine & Moselle, Enchanting Danube, and Grand European Discovery are just a few of the eleven itineraries that feature Uniworld’s Epicurean Adventurer Program—an added value program with a private wine tasting, an onboard culinary demonstration and tasting, and a special wine and food pairing dinner. And Uniworld offers three new itineraries along these waterways, including: Imperial Capitals of Europe, Grand European River Voyage, and Grand European Odyssey.

With world-class cities—Amsterdam, Vienna, Budapest, and Istanbul; old-world towns—Nuremberg, Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Rothenburg, and Salzburg; and plenty of UNESCO World Heritage sites—Cologne and Speyer’s great cathedrals, the Danube’s Wachau Valley, Budapest’s Castle Hill district, the mythical upper Rhine, and so much more— Uniworld provides you with an up close view of Europe’s great destinations as you travel through the heart of Europe.

From the bridges of Paris to the beaches of Normandy and the sunny landscapes of the Mediterranean, you will experience all of France in a manner of unsurpassed style and comfort. Sail north and explore world-famous Paris. You will visit the charm-ing towns and villages such as Honfleur and Giverny. You’ll be inspired as you walk the beaches of Normandy where the Allied forces landed during WWII’s D-Day Invasion, and you’ll visit Rouen, and the very site where Joan of Arc was martyred.

When you sail south through Burgundy and Provence from Chalon sur Saône to Arles, you will enjoy lively towns and gorgeous landscapes. You’ll visit Lyon, center of Gallo-Roman history and culinary capital of France. Walk through the streets of Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the town immortalized by Van Gogh in over 300 of his paintings and drawings. And explore the well-preserved Medieval city of Avignon, with its spec-tacular Palace of the Popes. Or should you wish to experience both the north and south of France, you will have the opportunity on Grand France.

Douro Queen on the Douro River

Over the centuries, the Douro River has carved a spectacular and scenic valley endowed with panoramas stretching from stately Porto, in Portugal’s center of port wine production—the oldest demarcated wine region in the world—to Spain. And it is the Douro that has been the lifeblood of the region, providing a rich abundance of fruits, olives, and grapes, as well as serving as a highway for travelers and for transporting casks of Portugal’s most famous export, Port wine.

Now, you have the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque Douro River, one of Europe’s most unspoiled rivers, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of National Geographic’s top choices for “World’s Great Places: 133 Destinations.” With its fertile slopes of vineyards, and tiny white villages clinging to the hillsides, you will discover a world where nature and architecture stand in perfect harmony.

You will explore the seven hills of cosmopolitan Lisbon, uncovering a treasure trove of old world architecture. Visit Coimbra, the “Birthplace of Kings”; Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges” with its UNESCO World Heritage-designated Medieval city center; and Salamanca, Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You will taste plenty of wonderful local wines from village vineyards, including Port wine, the region’s sweet fortified wine. Feast on a traditional meal at the Alpendurada Monastery; enjoy an authentic Spanish-style lunch complete with a flamenco show; and dine at the Vintage House Hotel, a magnificent 18th-century wine quinta overlooking the spectacular Douro River. All along the way, you will uncover a land of genuine beauty and breathtaking charm, and meet warm-hearted, friendly people with welcoming open arms.

Snow-capped vistas. Majestic grand cathedrals. Children’s choirs. Hearing O Tannenbaum in its native language, savoring warm gingerbread, and seeing Father Christmas in his flowing robes.

You can enjoy the life-sized nativity scenes of Rüdesheim, or the splendors of Heidelberg’s Christmas Pyramid. Trace Bamberg’s nativity scenes spread out in over 30 different places throughout the town. You can visit Nuremberg’s Christkindlmarkt, the largest and most famous Christmas Market in Germany. And waltz the New Year away in Vienna.

Experience all the “once upon a time” Yuletide traditions of Germany, Austria, France, Hungary, Slovakia, and Switzerland, and return home with holiday memories that will last a lifetime.

Uniworld’s Collection of Boutique Hotel-Style Cruise Ships

Every bit as important as the destinations Uniworld’s guests visit along Europe’s great rivers and waterways are the ships that sail them. Uniworld’s collection of intimate, boutique hotel-style ships are just the right size to fit into the most beautiful small ports in Europe, but their compact size belies the roomy feel of each ship’s common rooms, staterooms, and suites. We know that, throughout the adventure and excitement of your river cruise, the ship will act as your “home away from home.” We’ve designed your ship with all the amenities and conveniences you’ll need, so it’s the perfect place to retire to at the end of each exhilarating and fun-filled day.

While each ship has its own unique personality and character, they are all designed with the same signature touches—luxurious and comfortable décor, classic furnishings in rich fabrics, plush leather, and modern conveniences—all of which create an inviting atmosphere for a memorable experience.

As you are warmly welcomed aboard, the elegant lobby sets the stage for the unfolding of your one-of-a-kind river cruise experience. From the stylish lounge to the cozy library to all the extra conveniences—a fitness room, a boutique for gifts, a 24-hour specialty coffee and tea bar, an onboard massage therapist, and wireless Internet access in all public areas—they’ll feel right at home.

Uniworld’s staterooms provide a comfortable retreat

All of Uniworld’s staterooms and suites are luxuriously appointed and offer riverviews, and many have French balconies. Hotel-style beds draped with the finest European comfort, the highest thread count, 100% Egyptian-combed cotton sheets, and wool-cashmere blankets ensure a rejuvenating night’s rest. Perfectly stocked bathrooms with L’Occitane body amenities and cozy, warm robes add a touch of luxury. Plush, thick towels from Christy of England, the most renowned towel maker in Europe, wrap you in warmth.

Extra comforts include a flat-screen television with satellite channels, an individually controlled heating and cooling system, built-in closets, and complimentary bottled water. Plus, guests enjoy twice-daily turn-down service from Uniworld’s award-winning staff. And for those wishing to enjoy added amenities and services, Uniworld’s extra spacious suites provide even more comforts and indulgences, and onboard the River Beatrice, Uniworld offers butler service in all of the suites.
