Rollin’ on the River!!

At the end of June, I sailed onboard The A which is a U River Cruise. There will be a full blog coming soon about my amazing week onboard. During that week though I was fortunate enough to visit 4 other River Cruise Ships. So I thought I would give you some information and pictures of the ones I saw.

Viking Jarl – Viking River Cruises

I had the opportunity to visit the Viking Jarl in Budapest as my friend Eamon who used to work for Cruise.co.uk is now Program Director On Board. Eamon gave me a full tour of the vessel and advised that the majority of the Viking River Ships were identical so you know that you’ll get the same great service and facilities on every vessel. I even got to have a nice cold beer whilst sitting up on deck in the lovely Budapest sun. The staff around the vessel were very friendly and all of the guests that I came across said that they were having a great cruise.

SS Maria Theresa – Uniworld

WOW the SS Maria Theresa was like nothing I have seen before. She was an incredibly classic vessel. The whole vessel was absolutely stunning. It had a very traditional vibe and was so different from the decor to the facilities onboard. As you can see in one of the photos below, there is even a cinema room onboard and a lovely swimming pool.

River Duchess – Uniworld

The River Duchess was the first vessel I was able to see in Regensburg as we had to walk through to board ‘The A’. Myself and my friend Emily were able to have a guided tour by the guest services manager. It was great to see the differences between the Uniworld and U River Cruise product as they are under the same company, yet they are completely different concepts. Uniworld River Cruises are like Boutique hotels on the river, The River Duchess was definitely very classy and had a great atmosphere on board.

Scenic Jade – Scenic River Cruises

We were only able to have a short tour onboard the Scenic Jade, but from what I saw she looked lovely. There was definitely an elegant feel as soon as you step onboard, the staff were very friendly and the communal areas were very inviting.
