Paris & Normandy Reviews

Fantastic not a single negative thing to say! Amazing tour guides very knowledgeable and amazing food and cruise staff. Astrid the hotel manager was lovely. Bar Staff couldn’t do enough. It was very moving at Utah and Omaha beaches and Honfleur was so pretty!

This was our second Uniworld cruise this year, we travelled on the River Beatrice to Eastern Europe in April and this time round to Paris and parts of Normandy on the Joie de Vivre. Uniworld has found the right balance for their cruises, interesting excursions in port, but enough leisure time to choose to do your own thing and relax.

The overall read more feel of their ships is European elegance, beautifully furnished and maintained, the cabins and public areas are always spotless. The meals on board are really good and with plenty of choice, we did feel the Beatrice had a slight edge in the cuisine overall.

The staff on both ships were excellent, they make the cruise what it is. Personable, cheerful, helpful young people, always willing to go the extra mile. The staff in the main dining room often address you by name and remember your choice of drink, etc.

We met mainly American and Canadian travellers, also from the UK, Australia, China, an opportunity to meet people from all over the world and many walks of life. We are seriously thinking of another trip with Uniworld, that should say it all. Hannah from Global Journeys is the best, we trust her implicitly, she knows what we want when we travel and always delivers. Thank you dear Hannah.

This is the best river cruise I have ever done. The staff were friendly and helpful and all included tours were great. The cabins were comfortable but glad we upgraded as the twin cabins were very small. But overall would highly recommend a Uniworld cruise. Will definitely travel with them again.

From the moment we arrived at CDG airport until the time we were met by a taxi at the end of the trip we were treated to first class, friendly and knowledgable service. Every tour was well organised and were trouble free. We had one disappointment and that was missing out on Moulin Rouge. If you want to include that then book it early.

We loved the tour, everything worked well. Georgie did a good job of the booking. The ship - Uniworld River Baroness was excellent. Without exception every department on the ship was friendly and efficient. The tour guides were well selected and the destinations lived up to our expectations. Monet's Garden was just magnificent. We have travelled many read more times by boat through the rivers of Europe and we consider this to be one of our very best trips. We would consider another trip with the same company. Thanks again.
