See Europe - Differently, with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Cruise Holidays
Immerse yourself and travel like an insider to some of Europe's hidden gems. Voyage in boutique hotel style deluxe accommodations aboard intimate river cruise vessels, with guided tours, all meals, soft drinks, and wine/beer with dinner all included in the fare.
If you want a change from "big ship" cruising, or perhaps have "been-there, done-that" with the ocean cruise itineraries in Europe, a river cruise aboard an intimate, deluxe vessel will allow you to explore the heart of some of Europe's most stunning regions.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will take you on an immersive experience to off-the-beaten path destinations like Portugal's spectacular Douro Valley, the rustic charm of Burgundy and Provence, or exciting combinations such as Paris and Normandy, or the Ukraine and the Baltic.
Expert local tour guides, hand picked for their detailed knowledge of the region, will escort you along the way - and an excellent collection of tours, excursions and special events ashore are all included in the fare. If you'd rather explore on your own, complimentary bicycle rentals are provided. With just 100 to 250 other guests onboard, you'll never feel like part of the crowd.
