Gold List 2008
Uniworld Grand River Cruises
800 733 7820
From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
This cruise line—"my favorite, and I've been on quite a few"—just renovated ships that have "old cruise liner–style lounges" with gold- and red-upholstered sofas and leather accents. Staterooms, decorated in muted colors, feature aromatherapy-infused toiletries and a sitting area with picture windows. The dining lounge "focuses on Americanizing the meals. We would have loved more local fare." Itineraries navigate the rivers of Europe, China, and Egypt; Black Sea sailings will begin in 2008. Off the ship, join a cocktail reception hosted by a princess and "sip champagne on the balcony" at the Vienna Opera House. Staff provided "mulled wine, hot chocolate, and warm towelettes on our return each day—it was the perfect welcome home."
