About River Cruising


River cruising is the most convenient and efficient way to enjoy Europe.   You only pack and unpack once as you sail from city center to city center rather than remote docks and shipyards often miles away from the city center.  You spend more time there…rather than getting there.

Enjoy gracious comfort with large spacious river-view rooms and unlike travel by bus or train, the hassles of traffic congestion, maps and connections is gone.

Enjoy an in-depth cultural and historical perspective to small, exciting and sometimes difficult to see gems of Europe with breathtaking scenery, expansive panoramic views, right from your own cabin, while you dine or from the beautiful top deck of the ship as the beautiful countryside slides by.  For those concerned about motion sickness…river vessels are flat bottomed and with now seas and waves, your cruise is always smooth and comfortable.  The bridges of Europe were not built with luxury river vessels in mind and so the tops of river vessels, (wheelhouses, railings and radar) are temporarily lowered when sailing under low bridges.




Future River Cruises

Uniworld offers a spectacular Dutch “Windmills and Tulip” sailing featuring the nineteen historic windmills of Kinderdijk which have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   These beautiful, working windmills were built around 1740.  In addition to the wonderful, colorful Dutch towns, you will visit Keukenhof Gardens, the world’s largest tulip garden with over seven million flowering bulbs.  The garden dates back to 1949.  This is an extravaganza of color, new hybrids, exhibits and pavilions is known for its meandering tree-shaded paths and gentle streams and one of the most famous, most recognizable windmills of the world.
