A river cruise can be defined as:

• A form of leisure travel that takes guests along inland waterways.
• Usually there are several port stops over the course of each passage.
• Typical river cruises often last longer than a week.
• Carry anywhere from 100 to 250 guests, depending on the ship size.

Uniworld's guests typically aren't surprised at the end of the cruise with a huge bill as the luxury line's fares cover such items as all ship-related transfers; dining in both the main restaurant and an alternative venue onboard; pampering butler service for all suites on European ships; shipboard Wi-Fi and much more.

“It is more intimate, great for people prone to motion sickness, and they are all inclusive,” says Judith Wolf, a travel consultant and cruise expert at Frosch. “The profile of a river cruiser is usually an upscale, sophisticated traveler. They are interested in the countries they are visiting, and their history.”

The History of Uniworld Uniworld Boutique River Cruises was founded in 1976 by Yugoslavian entrepreneur Serba Illich. Based in California, the company began operating river cruises along the waterways of Europe in 1993.

Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection is located in Los Angeles, California, and the company operates a fleet of 21 river cruising cruise ships along the rivers of Europe, Russia, Egypt, South America, and China. Uniworld also has operational offices located in the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and China.

On a cruise, you unpack your bags only once and your floating hotel takes you from city to city or from island to island and there's no need to mess with bus, train or ferry schedules-- or lug your suitcase along cobblestone streets. Every morning, you'll wake up in a new place without having to move yourself.

Modern cruise ships typically have aboard some or all of the following facilities:

• Buffet restaurant.
• Card room.
• Casino - Only open when the ship is at sea to avoid conflict with local laws.
• Child care facilities.
• Cinema.
• Clubs.
• Fitness center.
• Hot tub.

about 50 to 65 While the original line draws customers who average about 50 to 65, its new offshoot is for travelers between 21 to 45 - and that age range is not a suggestion.
