Follow in the royal footsteps of the archduchess Maria Theresa in the heart of Europe in 2017, and celebrate the Austrian princess’ 300th birthday in true class and style along the Danube.

A floating princess’ castle, an exclusive ‘Morning with the Masters’ at Vienna’s Kunthistoriches Museum, and, of course, Uniworld’s reputation for being all-inclusive – if these reasons aren’t enough to convince you to set sail with the leaders in luxury Europe river cruising in 2017, then we don’t know what will!

Oh, wait, here’s one more reason: you’ll get return Economy airfares from just $899 and from $4,299 in Business class on cruises of 7-12 days. This deal is valid on Uniworld’s exciting 8-day Enchanting Danube‘ itinerary from Budapest to Passau, until 31 October 2016.

Alternatively, for those looking for cruise only, Uniworld’s fantastic Early Booking Savings can amount to up to $1,300 per person of savings when booked and paid in full by 31 Oct, or $650 per person when booked and deposited by 16 Jan 2017.

Convinced yet?

If not, let’s go over the other reasons why you should definitely set sail with Uniworld in 2017.

 

1. You’ve always wanted to sleep in a floating hotel

Named after the Austrian archduchess herself, the S.S. Maria Theresa is like a floating princess’s castle, replete with opulent 18th-century decor and all the luxurious bells and whistles you’d expect from Uniworld – they are the leaders in European river cruising after all!

The S.S. Maria Theresa is so gorgeous, in fact, that it was named ‘Best New River Ship’ by Cruise Critic editors in 2015.

Featuring lavishly adorned staterooms fitted with custom-made Savoir of England beds, marble bathrooms, a lounge with full-service bar, fitness center, restaurant, and a Serenity River Spa – plus a Sun Deck where you can relax and admire the dazzling Danube and all its majestic glory – the S.S. Maria Theresa is floating luxury par excellence, and fit enough for a King or Queen!

 

2. You’re excited about exclusive excursions

Uniworld have donned their royal caps and created an exclusive royal programme for its 8-day Enchanting Danube‘ itinerary, celebrating the 300th anniversary of Archduchess Maria Theresa.

Central to the programme is an immersive early morning tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, one of the world’s most prestigious museums and home to the gilded treasures of the Habsburg family – including Raphael’s Madonna in the Meadow, Vermeer’s The Allegory of Painting, and the Infanta paintings by Velázquez.

Wrapping up the experience, guests will then sip a heavenly Bellini cocktail (a mixture of Prosecco sparkling wine and peach purée or nectar) whilst sitting on the beautiful terrace in the stunning temple of art.

Apart from these exclusive excursions, guests travelling onboard the S.S. Maria Theresa get to delve into delightful Salzburg, Dürnstein, Passau and Linz, enjoying wine-tastings and visiting a saffron workshop along the way.

 

3. You believe everything should be included

Stepping onto a Uniworld ship is like stepping onto a floating world of carefree and effortless luxury cruising, where everything – yes, EVERYTHING – is included is the price of the itinerary and nothing is off the menu.

All your food and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages (including many premium spirits such as Grey Goose and Glenfiddich) are included, as are your excursions and exercise and wellness classes.

All tips, transfers, in-suite butler service, Wi-Fi, and onboard entertainment are part and parcel of the experience too, making Uniworld the true leaders in all-inclusive luxury river cruising in Europe.
