Uniworld recognised by Travel + Leisure in “World’s Best Awards”

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is pleased to announce its recognition on Travel + Leisure’s prestigious World’s Best Awards for Top 10 Small Cruise Lines. 

These prestigious awards are judged by the magazine’s subscribers who rated cruise lines on criteria such as cabins, food, service, itineraries/destinations, activities and value. 

The list will be published in the August 2008 edition of the magazine.

Paul McGrath, managing director of Uniworld said, “We are absolutely delighted at this recognition by one of the world’s leading travel magazines, Travel + Leisure. This is further acknowledgment that we are delivering the ultimate river cruise experience to our guests.

“We have really focused on perfecting the entire guest experience by concentrating on exquisite food using only the freshest produce, luxurious onboard amenities, interesting and well-planned shore excursions and immaculate service delivery.

“It is extremely rewarding to see these efforts have paid off and that travellers are recognising the extremely high standard of product that Uniworld offers.” 

As further recognition of the fantastic quality of the overall experience offered by Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, the company was also named on the Top 15 Tour Operators and Safari Outfitters by Travel + Leisure.

This recognition comes hot on the heels of Uniworld’s recent inclusion on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List.

Uniworld has just released the 2009 Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, featuring 30 cruises, including six new itineraries that enable travellers to explore central and Eastern Europe, France, Portugal and Spain, Russia and Egypt, along with enjoying festive season cruises that are focused around Europe’s spectacular Christmas markets. 

For the 2009 season, Uniworld has a new vessel – the lavishly appointed River Beatrice, a magnificent addition to the fleet featuring hotel-style beds, indulgent amenities, plush sheets and towels and French balconies. Uniworld also introduced the Epicurean Adventurer Program to a range of its cruises in 2009. This new range of gourmet activities, offered at no additional cost to clients, includes private wine tastings, culinary demonstrations and special food and wine pairing dinners.

In partnership with Trafalgar, Uniworld is able to offer the ultimate river cruise experience, with fascinating shore excursions led by English speaking local guides using state-of-the-art Quietvox audio headset systems and expertly planned itineraries that offer travellers the opportunity to experience both the highlights of Europe and its off the beaten track hidden gems.
