Ship Overview

The River Antoinette entered service in March 2011. It is the sister ship of River Beatrice, using the same high quality decor and design standards, to be an imperial new boutique river cruise ship, and the largest ship in the fleet, lengthwise.

The River Antoinette will be Uniworld's largest ship length wise at 443 ft. and a width of 37.5 ft. Uniworld has decided to use the additional space to create extra spacious staterooms and suites for their guests, so there will be a minimal capacity increase. Most of the 73 staterooms will measure at 196 sq. ft with 20 staterooms being 163 sq. ft. There will be eight junior suites measuring 294 sq. ft. and one Owner's Suite at 391 sq. ft. The River Antoinette will have the largest staterooms out of any contemporary river cruise ships operating in Europe. She will also set the standard in river cruising innovation by offering top deck suites and staterooms with full open-air private balconies that, with a touch of a switch, will raise the glass to create a completely enclosed conservatory during cooler weather. Additional innovated facilities that will add to the comfort of Uniworld’s guests include a heated swimming pool and a sky lounge on the sun deck.

The River Antoinette has European officers and crew and Cruises in Germany along the Rhine River.

Dining

On Uniworld ships, meal times are truly a feast for all the senses. From the delicious bouquet of a glass of perfectly aged pinot noir, to the inviting sight of candlelit tables draped in fine linen, to the pleasant sounds of friends engaged in intimate conversation, to the delicious flavour of each savoury dish, Uniworld’s dining experiences have been designed to delight you. We are committed to going the extra mile to provide our guests with a truly remarkable dining experience, and we were recently acknowledged in the ZAGAT* Survey for “Top in Dining”—the only river cruise company recognised with the “best of the best” in the cruise industry.

However, we are not content to rest on our laurels, so to take our food and beverage program to even greater heights, we hired Global Master Chef Bernhard Zorn, a 30- year industry veteran, as Uniworld’s new Culinary Director. Chef Zorn leads his team of executive chefs in preparing a parade of culinary delights using only the freshest ingredients, which are often brought onboard daily from local farmers markets.

Sumptuous buffets at breakfast and lunch offer an extensive array of hot and cold selections. Breakfast features crispy Belgian waffles topped with whipped cream and warm maple syrup, a dozen or more homemade breads and jams, an omelette station, and hand-cut seasonal fresh fruit.

Lunch offers a delectable feast with salads, soups, carved-to-order roasts, and more. Evenings provide exquisite ambience with relaxed open seating. Each dish is flawlessly prepared using the finest ingredients—local meats and seafood along with tasty side dishes. Always included with dinner onboard are European fine wines and a selection of beer and soft drinks served by an attentive, caring staff. Of course, every meal concludes with a wide range of freshly prepared, decadent desserts that look every bit as delicious as they taste.

Uniworld also provides a variety of dining experiences including: al fresco “under the stars” and light-lunch dining—both on the sun deck; Captain’s Welcome Gala and Farewell Dinner; early-riser breakfast; and afternoon tea. Plus, Uniworld gives you the choice of dining on lighter cuisine with our Traveling Lite menu.
