    Food was excellent at all times. Some excursions were better than others but majority of guides were great. At times, as in Vienna, docking was far and it made it difficult to get around.

    Enchanting Danube was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend Uniworld! When they say all inclusive, that is what they mean. All of the excursions were fantastic and it was hard to choose what to do. We were also given extra time in several cities to explore and/or revisit places we wanted to see. The ship was very luxurious. I upgraded from a classic room to a French Balcony which had a bigger window that opened all the way. It was nice to have a better view. The staff was attentive and personable. The hotel manager greeted everyone by their name by the second morning. The room was well appointed and most importantly the bed was super comfortable. We added a Progressive dinner where we got to see different parts of the ship and talk with the staff that works there while enjoying wine and different parts of our meal. That was a fantastic experience. The transfers were easy and efficient. All in all a wonderful trip that I would highly recommend!

    This was our first river cruise and everything went beyond our expectation. Services: the staff were accommodating and helpful. Tours: various excursions to choose from for different age group and they were well-organized. Ship: beautiful boutique-design ship. The only cons is a slow Wifi connection but it ain't a big deal. There were so many onboard activity that kept us entertaining. I noticed that the cruise operates in eco-friendly manner, i.e. they eliminates sing-use plastic. That's a big plus!!!!

    Pros - Service was excellent Cons - Rooms too small - Food very average for the price - lift didn't work entire trip The cruise ended early due to low water levels in the Danube. That can't be helped but they did not advise us until it was a fait accompli and it was too late to change other arrangements. They must have known for some time this was likely but said not a word, Poor form.

      The French Balcony cabin does not have an actual balcony. It has a French Balcony window which opens up. There is no smoking in the cabin. For the comfort of all the guests, smoking is only permitted on the sun decks of Uniworld's ships.

      Dear Irvine, I've updated the pricing on the left side of this page to reflect 1 traveller in a Classic - Single Room (162 sq ft, window) on Bavarian Deck onboard the S.S. Maria Theresa departing on 13 Aug, 2023. The total comes to USD $ 5,309/-.

      TravelerWritten March 2023

      After much searching I gather this classic room is at the bottom of the ship. I was looking for a French Balcony, so will have to change my dates and see what I can find.

    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperatorWritten March 2023

      I can indeed price out a French Balcony Cabin for you for the 13th August 2023 or if you have an alternative date in mind please do let me know and I can price that date out for you in a French Balcony.

      Flights: Uniworld can only book flights from the UK and Ireland, if guests are happy to book their own flights, we can arrange transfers for them if the flights arrive on Munich between 6am and 4pm and depart Budapest 6am and 4pm on the first and last days of the cruise.

    Lorraine

    Asked on December 16th, 2022

    We need a cabin for two but we do not wish to have a double bed. Twin beds is what we need. In the information you sent they only seem to have cabins with double beds.

    Accommodation
    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperatorWritten December 2022

      Uniworld bed sizes are standard on all Uniworld ships: All cabin categories Except the Suite have a Queen-sized bed, so I will ask the operator if it is possible to request twin beds in a classic cabin. I will get back to you once I hear from them.

    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperatorWritten December 2022

      Uniworld has reverted back and they have ensured that whatever category you select, the beds can be arranged to be twin beds. Let me know what cabin category is of your interest and we'll kindly offer you a quote.
