During the 80s, I was fortunate to take a river cruise. However, I’ve not experienced a Uniworld Boutique River Cruise yet. It is certainly on my list. They sound wonderful. The photo is from the deck overlooking Budapest. Experiencing this enchanting city from both sides of the Rhine is wonderful. However, I’m sure a cruise when you see the charm of the entire area is enchanting. When I researched the Uniworld website, the ships looked outstanding. If I ever experience it first hand I’ll let you know. But, I wanted to share this press release as it is quite impressive. So, if you are considering a cruise for 2011, check this out. Thank you Arnelle Kendall for sharing.

Condé Nast Traveler just announced their prestigious 2011 Gold List winners for the world’s finest hotels, resorts, and cruise lines, and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises was included in the “World’s Top Cruise Lines” category. There is a total of thirteen cruise lines on the Gold List, with Uniworld being the only cruise line focusing 100% on river cruising.

“I am deeply honored that Uniworld has been recognized once again in Conde Nast Traveler’s prestigious Gold List. For the last several years, we have been consistently included on this list, and this reaffirms our commitment to delivering the best river cruise experience possible to our guests,” states Guy Young, president of Uniworld. “I am also very proud to be included in a list of well respected cruise lines such as Crystal, Silversea, Seabourn, and Regents,” furthers Young.
