Cruises for young people?

last week, the first sailing of Uniworld’s The B which was a river cruise aimed for a younger crowd ,took place on River Seine. Newly renovated sister ships – The A and The B – aim to offer immersive, fun and adventurous travel for its customers aged between 21 and 45 years old.The 120-capacity The B was renamed following extensive renovations and design changes of Uniworld’s River Baroness ship.The cruise line has named assigned Victoria’s Secret model Petra Nemcova as “guardian angel” for the millennial adventure.The 120-capacity The B was renamed following extensive renovations and design changes of Uniworld’s River Baroness ship.The B features four suites, 26 balcony bedrooms, 29 studio bedrooms and two studio bedrooms with triple occupancy – all with waterfront views and equipped with built-in Bluetooth speakers. They will have various activities on board designed for younger people. Is this the end of “River Cruises are just for old people”? yes, true that most river cruises have mainly pensioners on board and the lines have catered mainly for them but who says you can’t have younger people as well?

It also boasts two rooftop venues, a spa, mixologists, international DJs, communal tables for dining, and farm-to-table cuisine.

After the renaming ceremony, pop-electro band Shine performed live as guests on board danced away.

The A and The B’s itineraries begin in April 2018 with prices starting at £159 per person per day.

Both ships will sail along the Rhine, Main, Danube and Seine Rivers with overnight stops and longer stays available in major cities – including Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam and Budapest. I think that other river cruise lines will follow with more itineraries and will copy this venture, because it is difficult to attract young people to ordinary river cruises as for lack of entertainment and “boring” shore excursions and the high prices that so far put the youngsters off, but who knows?
