Why River Cruising Is the Best Way To Travel

, ,

Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a traditional cruise, along with all the benefits of inland travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden gem villages, only unpacking once. Even while onboard, you’ll be immersed in the local sights, with ever changing views right outside your window. River cruising is absolutely the best way to cruise, and the best and most luxurious river cruise is with Uniworld, one of GrownUps Holidays travel partners.

BENEFITS OF RIVER CRUISING

Smaller Ships, Fewer Guests

GrownUps Holidays’ travel partner Uniworld; ships have an average capacity of just 120 passengers, which means you get to enjoy an intimate onboard atmosphere and unmatched service, with a crew-to-passenger ratio of 1 to 2.4.

The Safest Way to Cruise

By nature, sailing on the rivers means constant proximity to land and shoreside resources—and, by extension, the ability to stop the ship and disembark at any time, if necessary.

Truly Immersive

Never restricted to coastal towns and ocean-liner ports, river cruise ships can take you to the heart of your destinations and dock in the centre of town, so you can step right off the ship and start exploring.

A Room with a View

Forget about indoor cabins. When river cruising, every room has a view. Relax and enjoy the ever-changing scenery as you sail to your next destination.

No Lines or Crowds

Unlike ocean cruising, you won’t have to deal with wait times for embarking or disembarking. And on tours, our guides can bring you right past the long tourist lines at popular museums and attractions.

The Freshest Ingredients

Uniworld’s five-star farm-to-table onboard dining is regionally inspired and prepared with only the freshest ingredients, sourced locally at every port.
