Founded in 1976 as the first river cruise company to focus on the North American traveler, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has continued to expand its fleet as well as itineraries. In 2004 it was acquired by The Travel Corporation, an extremely successful and diversified travel company. This has provided the strong financial backing for Uniworld to be able to make new investments in river ships, upgrades and enhancements. Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection operates over 500 departures annually sailing on 11 different rivers in 19 different countries. They have a fleet of 9 company owned and operated ships in Europe, as well as charter partnerships in China, Portugal, and Egypt.
Its cruises range in length from a week to a month and are designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests and guests. Uniworld’s fleet provides their guests with a more boutique hotel styled experience, with five-star inclusions and luxuriously appointed river ships, that have an average capacity of just 134 guests.
The focus of Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s itineraries is Europe and these company-owned ships, which cruise the Rhine, Main, Danube and in the South of France, provide an attentive, English-speaking crew, with a ratio of one crew member for every three guests.
The same professional service, and knowledgeable cruise directors can be found on Uniworld cruises throughout Egypt, China, Russia and the Ukraine. The company includes shore experiences that enhance the experience, such as the opportunity to marvel at the masterpieces of French Impressionists, attending an exclusive ballet performance in Russia, or seeing the renowned Shanghai acrobats in China. Many shore excursions are included in the cost of the vacation, and longer port stays allow for even more optional excursions-or take the time to explore cosmopolitan cities and quaint villages.
