Discover Europe on River Countess
Try fourteen days sailing onboard the Grand River Countess – one of the ships voted in the 2007 Conde Nast Poll for Best Small Ship. The Grand River Countess will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers through Switzerland, France, Germany and Austria.
Port stops – to name just a few – include Strasbourg with its fairytale-like Petite France; Aschaffenburg, once deemed the “Bavarian Nice” owing to its Mediterranean flair; the architectural gem of Bamberg with its Renaissance palaces, Baroque homes and breathtaking cathedral; Nuremberg with its Medieval Kaiserburg Castle and central market with its fountain; Melk with its Baroque abbey perched high above the vineyard-rich Wachau Valley; and Vienna, the cosmopolitan “City of Waltzes.”
Onboard the River Countess, enjoy an intimate and elegant setting with outside facing staterooms appointed with hotel-style beds; 100% Egyptian combed cotton linens; and private bathrooms replete with thick towels, plush robes and aromatherapy bath amenities.
The European Discovery Grand River Cruise is from $3,298 per person sharing, exclusive of airfare. Save $250 per couple and also receive “Best Available Cabin” at time of booking (excluding suites) – a saving of $2,650 per couple. For those who wish to extend the European Discovery voyage, Uniworld offers two cruise extensions. Four days in Lucerne, one of Switzerland’s most picturesque cities, or four days in Vienna, Austria’s “City of Waltzes.” Each of these add-ons is $699 per person sharing; the single supplement is $299.
Los Angeles-based Uniworld – the pioneer in river cruising – provides an intimate boutique hotel-style Grand River Cruise experience. Uniworld offers over 500 departures on more than 30 itineraries, sailing on 12 rivers in 20 countries across 4 continents – China, Europe, Russia and Egypt.
