Debuting in 2011, Uniworld's first-ever new-build, the S.S. Antoinette features Brazilian marble, Venetian glass mirrors, a stylish Bar du Leopard and an onboard cinema. Original art includes stunning mosaics by South African artist Jane du Rand and a number of works by Russian painters.
We selected this trip as a fill in after the Tulips and Windmills cruise to slot in and meet the timing of the following trip to Iceland. Again we were not disappointed. Typical Uniworld, service, excursions and attentiveness to customers plus a good bunch of fellow travelers made this a great experience. Possibly the only downside was that the trip finished in Basel and that was it! No city tour to round of the trip, just disembarkation which seemed to be a lost opportunity as others, such as Viking, seemed to be catering for this a bit better.
Very comfortable journey, everything met our expectations. Crew and staff were first rate. Hannah from Global was very professional. Booking and all relative procedures went very smoothly. Very happy with whole exercise.
The cruise was wonderful. The service was outstanding. I believe with feedback from our other companion travellers, we started with the best. Nothing was a trouble. Lots of fun. We knew we where somewhere special when there was a pillow menu. Beds where turned down with little treats each night. For us we know we will only travel with Uniworld if ever we cruised again. Out of 10 my score is 12!
Global Journeys - especially Hannah - always does a good job. Cruising to all the different markets was fun and we collected all the Gluwein mugs. There were only three Australian couples on board maybe because people don't want to travel too far away from their families so near to Christmas. There were no English on board but there were a lot in the markets. There were mostly Americans on board and were all very friendly. We became friendly with a Canadian couple who were in the tourist industry and were there on 'a study trip' so we were lucky enough to receive 'a few perks'.
Note: Staterooms and suites on La Princesse Deck have open-air balconies that, at the touch of a button, will raise the glass to create a completely enclosed conservatory. In suite 403, the bed frame cannot be separated.
