Review of Uniworld’s River Empress Ship

I’m finally getting around to writing about my visit to Uniworld’s River Empress. I do find it hard to write about Uniworld ships as I am so biased. What can you say other than it’s lovely. River Empress is a 110m Ship Having had my head turned by Uniworld’s “Super Ships” the Antoinette, Maria Theresa […]

SS Antoinette Review – Day 7

Today was our final full day on the SS Antoinette.  The Uniworld staff are exceptionally good.  As usual we were greeted at breakfast by smiling staff asking us how we were and following up on our conversations from yesterday.  This is not over the top hospitality but a high level of care from staff, that […]

SS Antoinette Review – Day 6

We sailed this morning to Koblenz and arrived at 10am.  It is worth mentioning that you can’t feel the motion at all on the SS Antoinette or hear any engine noise.  You are only alerted to movement by looking out of a window.  As someone who feels seasick at the slightest movement it was a […]

SS 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 […]

SS Antoinette Review Day One

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. On landing at Basel I had a slight wobble when faced with whether to enter Switzerland at passport control or France or Germany.  I […]

Uniworld, River Royale – Rhône Cruise

As I sit in the garden today finally believing that spring might be arriving I get drawn to thoughts of the South of France.  My garden centre bought lavender is starting to produce its distinctive smell.  Is it really warm enough, even here in the south west to experiment with al fresco dining?  It really […]
