Boutique River Cruising….. What’s that?

 Imagine staying in a luxury 5* hotel, enjoying comfortable surroundings, pleasant company, then imagine sailing past some of the world’s most breath taking scenery and waking up in a different town or city every morning – that is the beauty of a river cruise.

There are 4 main Boutique River Cruise Lines: Uniworld, AmaWaterways, Viking River Cruises and Avalon Waterways. They all pride themselves on offering plus comfortable surroundings, magnificent food and world-class hospitality and service.
Here are a few pointers about the first two, I will continue with information on the others in another post so that I don’t overload you with too much info!

Uniworld have a unique partnership with their sister company, Red Carnation Hotels – an award-wining collection of five-star luxury boutique hotels. Meaning Uniworld’s ships are uniquely designed and elegantly decorated and appointed with the finest furnishings, inspiring original art, and modern luxuries. Uniworld have also been rated ‘Top in Cabins’ by ZAGAT Survey, your elegantly appointed boutique stateroom comas as standard. Look forward to curling up in your handcrafted Saviour of England bed, which is draped in 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, start the next day by getting ready in your luxurious marble bathroom stocked with L’Occitane products, plush towels from Christy of England and soft, comfy robes.

AmaWaterways aims to bring luxury accommodation on the water. Designed to bring the elegance and amenities of a five-star hotel to the water, Amawaterways’ ships offer truly lavish accommodation. Amawaterways offer two distinct classes of River Ship. The innovative Aria class ships boast of a cutting-edge design, and have been the most popular ships in Europe for some time. The stylish concerto class ships are slightly larger than Aria class ships; however, Concerto class ships have set a new standard in design, thanks to their exclusive Twin Balcony Suites. Onboard your luxury river ship, your suite is more than your room for the night – it’s your elegant private retreat. All suites benefit from exclusive luxury pillow menus, Egyptian linen, personal computer and included wireless internet, spacious marble en-suite with plush bathrobes, slippers and designer toiletries and a state-of-the-art Infotainment system along with many other features.
