About Uniworld River Cruise Line:
Uniworld has taken guests to the most interesting destinations in Europe, Russia, Egypt, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China for almost 40 years.
In 2006, Uniworld was acquired by The Travel Corporation, a highly successful international travel group with over 25 award-winning brands such as Trafalgar Tours, Insight Vacations, Brendan Tours, and Contiki Vacations, as well as Red Carnation Hotels as part of the award-winning five-star luxury hotel collection. The Travel Corporation has made major investments in Uniworld’s ships and its people. The ultimate goal of these investments is to provide guests with a luxury European boutique cruise experience.
Combining these companies’ expertise in tour planning and in first-class hotel management with decades of superior nautical experience has enabled Uniworld to create a new standard in luxury river cruising. Recently, Uniworld has introduced several new ships to its fleet and has completely remodeled and redesigned its existing ships so that all company-owned ships meet the highest standards of comfort and style
