Consider A UniWorld River Cruise

Los Angeles based, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises

UniWorld Cruises was founded in 1976, was the first company to introduce to North America the Europe river-cruising concept. In 2005, Uniworld was acquired by the Travel Corporation, parent company of such popular travel companies as Trafalgar, Insight, Brendan and Contiki, as well as Red Carnation Hotels—the award-winning, five-star luxury hotel collection. Collaborating closely with Red Carnation, Uniworld has positioned its brand as a boutique hotel-style experience. Its intimate, luxurious ships are on par with some of the world’s finest small boutique hotels, each boasting its own individual décor.

Uniworld offers 9- to 32-day voyages on 11 rivers

With more than 500 departures and more than 30 itineraries. In Europe, Uniworld sails on the Rhine, Main, Danube, Moselle, Rhone, Saone, Seine, and Douro; in China it sails the Yangtze; and in Egypt it sails the Nile. Each hotel-style cruise ship boasts an average capacity of 134 guests; an award-winning staff, with a ratio of one staff member for every three guests; world-class cuisine; and expertly planned itineraries with custom-blended shore excursions. One of Uniworld’s trademarks is exceptional customer service. Its English-speaking staff includes the most experienced captains, managers, chefs, and onboard and onshore crew members in the river cruise industry. As a result, Uniworld boasts guest service satisfaction rates of over 98%. Its accolades include being named one of Travel+Leisure’s World’s Best Top 10 Small Cruise Lines; and being included on Condé Nast Traveler’s 2008 and 2009 Gold Lists; their Readers’ Poll for Top 50 Small Ships, and their Readers’ Choice Awards for World’s Top 10 Small Ship Cruise Lines. In addition, Uniworld recently was awarded by Cruise Critic as the best river cruise company, and with the best new river cruise ship, River Beatrice.

Uniworld introduced two new ultra-luxurious ships in 2009:

The River Beatrice, along the enchanting Danube, and the 41-suite River Tosca, along the historic Nile River. All of Uniworld’s ships have been completely refurbished since 2005, and the company has a capital investment improvement plan to refurbish its ships every three years. All of Uniworld’s staterooms and suites are lavishly appointed to offer the ultimate in comfort and elegance. Rates for Uniworld’s all-inclusive river cruises start at $1,599 per person, cruise only.  Cruise rates include all meals, prepared fresh daily using the finest ingredients from the local ports of call; fine wine, beer and soft drinks during dinner; captivating shore excursions fully hosted by English-speaking local guides; use of bicycles on company-owned ships in Europe; on board local entertainment and insightful lectures; all transfers on arrival and departure days; and much more.

Since Uniworld is under The Travel Corporation umbrella UniWorld is able to tap into their strong buying power and resources, as well as partner with several of our sister companies, such as Red Carnation Hotels, the award-winning five-star luxury boutique hotel collection, in the areas of hospitality training and management, food and beverage services, quality control programs, and design support. With the financial backing of The Travel Corporation, Uniworld has made significant capital investments—both in new ships and product upgrades—and has a fleet of nine company-owned and operated ships, as well as several charter partnerships. Hotel Management and Hospitality Training with Red Carnation Hotels Red Carnation Hotels shares their best practices, as well as provides cross-training opportunities on hotel management and hospitality development Uniworld hired a professionally trained and formally educated butler to further enhance the luxury service standards on board Food and Beverage Program Uniworld hired a world-class Food and Beverage Director who handles every aspect of food and beverage delivery Ongoing enhancement to the food and beverage program are always being made with the focus on using the freshest ingredients from the local ports of call, as well as employing talented chefs who come from such places as London’s five star Le Meridian Piccadilly and Relais & Chateaux Hotels Wine program developed by an award-wining European Sommelier based in London, England Extensive Yearly Cooking Summit: Visiting local markets, cooking demonstrations and workshops, menu engineering and planning, and bakery and pastry classes, including special training for all pastry chefs at the world-renowned Valhrona Chocolate School, Lyon, France Quality Control Programs: Uniworld has developed an ongoing quality-control program to monitor all product delivery and services, including: Operations Team in Europe with 30 employees based in Switzerland, Holland, and France—all 100% dedicated to delivering the Uniworld product The Travel Corporation’s Quality Assurance Third-Party Mystery Shopper Program Design Support: All of Uniworld ships have been designed and decorated by the design team from the Red Carnation Hotels While each ship has its own unique personality and style, they are all designed with the same signature touches—luxurious and cozy décor, classic furnishings in rich fabrics, plush leather, and modern conveniences—all of which create an inviting atmosphere for a memorable experience.

Destination-Europe

Vacation in Europe

This maybe the best time to plan that long awaited European vacation. With the U.S. economy in such turmoil, tourism worldwide is down. What this means to you is more value and competition for your travel dollar. A wise and frugal travel shopper will not have to look too hard to find plenty of travel incentives, so don’t put your passports away just yet.
Pick your destination and start looking for the discounts. Doing a little research beforehand can save you hundreds of your travel dollars.
Airlines are looking for every travel dollar they can find. Currently, they are heavily discounting their seats just to generate revenue which means great savings for you. So shopping can really pay off. Don’t leave out the idea of business or first class seats. For long flights it is well worth the extra leg room and the service. Use your travel miles to upgrade from coach. Some airlines even sell first class and business seats at a discount to their frequent flyer card holders and coach ticket holders at the gate or at check in.
Some of the best buys are organized land tours. The value comes when you pay for your vacation in U.S. Dollars and not Euro’s. Most of the European operators have offices in the United States or are on the internet. Always remember to ask for their special incentive deals. Most of the time tour operators will discount their vacations packages for those last minute shoppers. Don’t feel left out if you’re not a last minute type, booking and paying for your vacation in advance most of the times will rate you a substantial discounts.
Cruise lines that operated in Europe are also heavily discounting their staterooms. This year most of the major cruise lines introduced more new ships than in past fifteen years and their staterooms are going unfilled due to over capacity. Most cruise lines are offer a variety of incentives to beckon the wise traveler to their cruises like offing children under the age of 17 free travel, free airfare to European gateways from the United States plus lower deposits, when you make your reservation, to on board credits just to name a few.
Check with your travel agent to make sure you are getting the best price for your vacation dollars. Your travel agent can take the entire headache out of planning your European Vacation plus they will get you the best deals.
Have a great Vacation.
