- jonathan· September 18th, 2019I sailed on Uniworld's stunning S.S. Joie De Vivre for a New Years cruise with my grandmother and it was the most wonderful experience we could've had. From the moment we arrived to the airport and were greeted by our transfer guide to when we boarded the ship and throughout the entire sailing the service, attention to detail, tours & guides were all exemplary. I had never experience the level of service that i did while sailing with Uniworld. The staff definitely goes above & beyond for every single guest. Not to mention the food! Every dish was a delicious representation of France. Would highly recommend sailing on Uniworld for a truly unforgettable experience.Show moreUniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection commented on this reviewThank you for the wonderful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your cruise, and hope to see you back soon.Trip date: December 2017

Yes, this cruise itinerary takes place onboard the elegant S.S. Joie e Vivre - a fantastically French Super Ship! It combines the joy of living in northern France with a design reflecting 20th Century Paris! Truly the embodiment of the "Joy of Living" as she cruises along the Seine River.
