On a river cruise you have access to inland areas of countries that big ships just can’t get to, and you get to sail along the serene waterways, rather than in congested highways.

For example, when travelling through Europe you can delight in wonderful floral displays as you cruise through Holland in the spring or sail through the South of France along the Rhone and Saone in the summer. There you could see the vistas that inspired Van Gogh.

During the holdiays in the winter, on either a Rhine river cruise or a Danube river cruise you could stop and walk through the renowned Christmas Markets of Germany and Austria.

Uniworld River Cruises offers more than 30 different itineraries and over 500 departures. They believe that although there are numerous ways to travel none compares to the comfort, convenience and luxury of river cruises.
