First time river-cruiser and I researched the top 6 river cruises for weeks. Not sure how I got to the SS Antoinette, but it was absolute perfection and exceeded all of my high expectations. The Captain, the Cruise Manager, the front desk staff, and the housekeeping staff could not have done a finer job. I don't know my next river cruise itinerary, but it will likely be back on the SS ...
The SS Antoinette was a beautiful ship and the personal service was so impressive. We stayed on the upper deck with a balcony that had an automatic window that we loved to open and watch the river go by at night. The staff on board quickly learned our names and our favorite cocktails each day. We arrived thinking that the two of us just wanted to spend our 25th anniversary alone because we have ...
After reviewing several other river cruise lines, we chose Uniworld because it included gratuities and drinks; the cabin size was slightly bigger than other lines; and this cruise offered the areas of Europe we wanted to see and it did not disappoint. The service was outstanding on all phases of the cruise. The food was terrific with plenty of it. The crew from the captain to the cabin ...
My partner researches to death! And this cruise came out way ahead... ss Antoinette
The real thing was every bit as good as expected and the staff made it even better...!
The atmosphere was relaxed throughout.. though there were many things to keep you busy should you be so inclined..
The ship was well appointed and equipped and the swimming pool was lovely, especially as we saw no one ...

Excellent service. Breathtaking Christmas markets in Germany, France, and Switzerland. Extension in Basel and Lucerne were well worth the time and expense, also. Ship staff was excellent. Pickup and departures went smoothly. Our head waiter, Goran, was superb. Front desk as well as soon staff very responsive. Our tour direction, Polina, was very informative and worked to be flexible to meet our ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit Christmas Markets and specifically because we had travelled with UniWorld on 5 previous cruises. We chose this particular cruise date because it coincided with our 45th Wedding Anniversary. UniWorld decorated our state room with "candles", rose petals and a bottle of champagne.
We did explore Cologne for two days prior to embarkation. ...
For years I have wanted to see the German Christmas Markets. My husband finally decided to make his first trip abroad to make me happy. Now he is ready to do it again someday. The trip was everything we hoped for and more. The extra was visiting Strasbourg, France and Basel, Switzerland. The walking tours the ship offered were great and the vinegar estate tour was wonderful. We chose a suite ...
My husband and I chose this cruise after it was highly recommended by friend. Everything was AMAZING! Ship, Service, Stateroom, and Staff! First time on a river cruise, the special attention and intimacy of the smaller ship and number of passengers made it so enjoyable!! We will definitely do another. We loved the leisure of every day's schedule. The excursion options offered daily were ...
A friend suggested Uniworld River Cruse Line, and boy was she right. We sailed out of the Basel area in Switzerland and ended up in Amsterdam. The ship was lovely and the staff amazing. They just could not do enough for you. Everything was included on this cruise, which was quite a change from buying drink packages and tour packages. The cruise was very well organized and there was always ...
