Uniworld River Cruises
S.S. Antoinette
Cruising on Uniworld River Cruises' S.S. Antoinette during a Christmas Markets cruise on the Rhine River still stands out as one of my favorite cruise experiences. What impressed me most was the seamless delivery of service that started at embarkation and ended when I said farewell on the last morning of the cruise.
