    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.

    We highly recommend UniWorld cruises. The service and staff are impeccable, the daily tour offerings are well planned with knowledgeable tour guides, the meals well prepared and delicious, the accommodations clean and comfortable and the cost well worth paying a bit extra because the cruise is truly all inclusive. There are no hidden fees.
