SHIP OVERVIEW

The luxurious décor of the 443-foot, 152-passenger S.S. Antoinette—Uniworld’s first Super Ship—features fine Brazilian marble on the walls and floors, a 19th-century Venetian glass mirror, a stylish Bar du Leopard with full-service bar, and an onboard cinema. The two-story foyer boasts a 10-foot blue Strauss Baccarat chandelier with huge sapphires—a stunning piece that once hung in New York's famous Tavern on the Green—and a collection of original artwork is displayed throughout the ship.

SEPTEMBER

PROS

The ship was beautiful, a truly, floating hotel. The crew couldn’t of been nicer. They were beyond any expectations I had. The food was excellent. We enjoyed having an overview of the next day with Pete, and found every guide, driver, waitress’, to be so nice and friendly.

CONS

I can’t say anything negative about the ship! One thing, we didn’t have any entertainment on the ship for 2 nights, apparently they canceled and couldn’t get a replacement

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Would do it again, it’s an awesome way to travel thru Europe.

Everything on the ship was wonderful. The staff was the greatest. Very attentive to details. The food and drink was outstanding. We really enjoyed our pre and post cruise extensions. Our local guides for these were fantastic. They took very good care of us. The cruise director, Chad, was the best. We enjoyed all the excursions we took. The local guides for these were also excellent. They all spoke very good English and were very knowledgeable. Everything on the cruise was very well organized. If there were any problems the staff handled them quickly and to everyone's satisfaction.

PROS

From the Captain of the ship to all the crew we were very pleased with our trip.

CONS

Don't know of any.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>The S.S. Antoinette is a beautiful, luxurious ship. Our every need and desire was cared for from every one of the crew. They were all so kind and willing to help in any way. All of the excursions were well planned and executed by very knowledgeable tour guides. The food was very plentiful and delicious with many choices every meal. The entertainment onboard was spectacular. We were kept up to date of all activities with a daily report left in our rooms in the evening and by our travel agent who planned everything. We would love to take another river cruise in the future.</div>
