READ MORESS Antoinette Review – Day 7
Today was our final full day on the SS Antoinette. The Uniworld staff are exceptionally good.

READ MORESS Antoinette Review Day Two
After my first good night’s sleep on the SS Antoinette in my Savior handcrafted bed I took advantage of the shower and L’Occitane products and finished off with the biggest and most comfortable bathrobe I have ever worn – the inside was toweling and the outside cotton and as I am only 5’2″ it came […]

I have just been lucky enough to spend 7 nights on board the Uniworld SS Antoinette. We sailed the River Rhine on their Castles along The Rhine Itinerary in November 2012.
