This was our second river cruise, having done the Danube River from Budapest to Passua with Viking 2 yrs ago. On that cruise a waiter suggested doing the Rhine River and many friends suggested that we look into Uniworld. We do think Uniworld is a notch up in so many ways and will definitely look at them first when choosing another river cruise.
The difference was described to us like a ...
The ship was lovely. Accommodations and dining were top notch.
The staff went out of their way to make everything beautiful and delicious.
There were plenty of tours and onboard activities to choose from. I chose to skip the shore excursions one morning, just so I could enjoy more of the ship's amenities! But most days, I didn't want to miss the cities we were visiting either.

Embarkation was actually in Briesach, but handled smoothly by Uniworld, with free shuttle from Basel to the ship. Disembarkation also smooth, from Amsterdam to airport, timely and easy.
Cruise was delightful, our second time on this same itinerary/ship. Cruising the castle area was cool but dry, and we had plenty of blankets. All shore tours were well done and the voice boxes have been ...
Spent a few days in Amsterdam before our cruise. Embarkation was exceptional. It was raining, but crew met us at our taxi with umbrellas, grabbed our bags and whisked us onto the ship. This is our second cruise with Uniworld and would choose them over all others for our next trip. The accommodations were excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Our suite (actually a large cabin) was ...
Uniworld had consistently excellent reviews for the Castles on the Rhine trip and our experience lived up to all the expectations. We spent a few days in Basel and Lake Luzerne prior to embarkation and it was a very easy city to explore on our own. When we boarded the SS Antoinette, we were impressed with the professionalism and friendliness evoked by all the staff. Our suite was lovely and having ...
I can't imagine a better experience. The staff was superb and the food was excellent. This is an expensive venture but everything, with the exception of some shore excursions, is included. Just a tip for those considering Uniworld: No not everyone dresses up for dinner. I wore a jacket at the Reception dinner and the Farewell dinner but not everyone did. Most women, but not all, wore an ...
Uniworld was recommended by some very discriminating friends with high expectations of their vacation experiences, who had nothing but great things to say. Every aspect of the cruise was wonderful. From the moment we were picked up, the entire experience was smooth and easy. Everyone that works on the ship, from cabin attendants to dining room staff to front desk, provided excellent service. ...
Highly recommended by our Travel Agent, whose opinion we trust.
The cruise was our first, and we were not sure what to expect. Whatever that was, it exceeded our expectations. The room was great, the staff very accommodating, and the food and drink simply outstanding. We made a number of new friends in an atmosphere that was far from pretentious. We enjoyed all of the excursions and did not ...
We chose this cruise due to the excellent reputation that Uniworld has for accomodations and service.
We had a cabin on Deck 3 which was a regular Oceanview cabin. The cabin was decorated very beautifully. Plenty of room to put away all your clothes and bathroom stuff.
Bathroom is all marble with a nice size shower. The room itself was a little smaller than another ship we had been on. ...
Castles of the Rhine
We chose Uniworld because it was recommended to us by an old neighbor who is a travel agent. We currently live in South Carolina and went on the cruise with a group of our old neighbors from New York. It was even better than what we were told. Everyone was ...
