Uniworld is "Top River Cruise Line for Families"

Uniworld Voted Travel + Leisure’s “Top River Cruise Line for Families”

Travel + Leisure has awarded Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection with the title of “Top River Cruise Line for Families” in its coveted 2015 World’s Best Awards.

The luxury river cruise line offers guests a variety of family-friendly itineraries that include 13 departures created specifically for families in 2016,

Congratulations to Uniword for taking a leadership role by offering river cruises for multi-generational travelers. River cruise boats are usually not the best place to take kids mostly because of their intimate size and penchant to cater to an older crowd. The trend towards more river cruise options is a welcome one for me because I would love to take my two kids on a river cruise.

The advantage of river cruising with families is that the waterways offer a unique perspective to the past, often allowing passengers front-row docking positions in some of the best cities in the world.

“We are honored to be selected by Travel + Leisure readers as the top choice for families in the river cruise industry,” said Guy Young, president of Uniworld. “Uniworld pioneered family river cruising in 2009 with the expansion of our superior cruise collection. The demand for multi-generational programs has since increased at an unprecedented rate, and we continue to expand upon the frequency and exclusive experiences offered on these itineraries. We are debuting new all-inclusive family departure itineraries in 2016.”
