You Get What You Pay For – 2 –

UNIWORLD – Are ultra luxurious and offer boutique cruising similar to what you would find with someone like Oceania (for dining) or I think likened to Seabourn Odyssey ships for the very high level of quality 6*. What do they offer ? well here is a taster for you.

• BEST DINING AWARE ACROSS ALL WATERS – ZAGAT RATED RESTAURANTS
• COMPLIMENTARY WINE, BEER & SOFT DRINKS WITH LUNCH & DINNER
• EXCURSIONS ARE ALL INCLUDED
• STATEROOMS DESIGNED BY RED CARNATION HOTELS – ZAGAT RATED FOR BEST CABINS
• FREE PRIVATE HOME PICK UP WITHIN 150 MILE RADIUS OF AIRPORT OR YOU WILL GET £75.00PP REDUCTION FOR MAKING YOUR OWN WAY TO THE AIRPORT
• FLY ONLY – REGIONAL OFFERED (FREE PARKING AT GATWICK/HEATHROW)

• ALL CABINS HAVE SLIDING WINDOWS AS A MINUMUM
• OWN SUPPLY OF BICYCLES ON BOARD THE SHIPS
• S.S ANTOINETTE HAS INDOOR POOL AND CINEMA
• FREE TEA AND COFFEE

I think Uniworld would be my first choice of River Cruise line the prices are as you can imagine though are at the very top end, but as always you get what you pay for, you pay top rates and will get top service and top ships.

STAFF OF UNIWORLD

VIKING – Probably the most recognised of the River Cruising brands as they are on our T.V’s every day the ship they use for their advertisments is the Viking Freya which is one of their new Long Ships, all of the Long Ships are exactly the same. They have over 175 years of experience so its all about professionalism, fine dining and quality of service, very much like  Cunard with their 5* quality, and they offer?

• COMPLIMENTARY WINE, BEER AND SOFT DRINKS WITH LUNCH AND DINNER
• LONDON FLIGHTS AND TRANSFERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE FARES
• REGIONAL FLIGHTS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR YOU, MOSTLY WILL BE IN-DIRECT AND WILL BE AN EARLY DEPARTURE TIME.
