Uniworld European River Cruises

River cruising through Europe gives you the opportunity to explore some of the most historic cities of the world along what could be called the first highways of Europe.

Long before trucks or even trains made inland areas accessible, rivers were the avenues of commerce between outposts of the medieval world.

Now you can enjoy luxurious travel along these time tested routes.

One of the leaders in river cruising is Uniworld. With introductory shore excursions included at each port and wine, beer and soft drinks included with dinner, Uniworld is an affordable way to visit the heart of Europe.

They even have bicycles available for check out in the ports, and it's easy to peddle into the villages, because your ship docks in town. With only about 150 passengers, it's never a hassle going ashore by bike or foot.

Your experience is very much like staying in small boutique hotel, but your hotel follows you, allowing you to unpack only once.


Delicious meals onboard, of course, are also included, and a few meals on each cruise can be enjoyed al fresco on the deck as you glide past the scenic countryside. The food is always outstanding, but certain sailings have been designated as "Epicurean Adventurer Program" itineraries, with special pairings of regional cuisines and wines for the discriminating gourmet.

Right now, you can upgrade to business class air for as little as $199. There's still availability on many summer time cruises.

Some of the best rates of the year can be found on the Holiday Market Cruises pioneered by Uniworld. Imagine preparing for Christmas not in big box stores fighting coupon cutting crazies but rather in the quaint markets of European villages.
