Zurich & the Rhine River Valley
Immerse yourself in history as you stroll through beautifully preserved medieval towns and a stunning imperial palace. Sample the fruits of the Rhine's famously excellent wineries and enjoy traditional treats as you follow your local guides through the destinations they call home. And, to fully appreciate the lush environment of this verdant river valley, we'll give you several opportunities to get active out in nature.
The Rhine also gives us access to such remarkable destinations as the Alsatian capital of Strasbourg or the multicultural city of Basel in Switzerland. And not too far from Basel lies a destination every world traveler should visit at least once, the scenic, lakeside city of Zurich. We'll spend two nights here in five-star luxury at The Dolder Grand Hotel, expanding our journey on land to embrace Swiss cultural highlights in the country's largest city.
Uniworld is one of the most luxurious river cruise lines in existence, operating a fleet of 13 unique, opulent and lavish six-star river ships.
The company was founded in 1976, becoming part of the Travel Corporation in 2004 – a group which also includes luxurious Red Carnation Hotel.
The cruise line operates on the waters of Europe, Arica and Asia, and each Uniworld ship is inspired by its destination.
The stunning foyer of the 128-passenger River Princess sets an indulgent and luxurious tone for your European journey. Throughout the ship, jewel-tone greens, warm browns and a mix of black and white create a sophisticated ambiance, while stylish public areas—including a Main Lounge, a Sky Lounge and a Captain’s Lounge and Library—provide comfortable places to curl up with a good book, chat with friends, or sip your favorite cocktail.
