Embarking on a luxurious journey aboard Uniworld’s S.S. Victoria, I joined a select group of travel professionals from Dublin, including Brefni Tiernan, Laura Pirkl, Robert Byrne, Fergal Sullivan of Trailfinders, Paula Cross from Frosch, Sharon Moore and Olivia Ward from Navan Travel, Shirley Webster and Michelle Clarke from Cassidy Travel, Suzanne Moran from Abbey Travel, Sonia Ferreira from O’Hanrahan Travel, Carmel Kehoe of Best for Travel, and Sinead King from Tullys Travel.

A Glimpse into the S.S. Victoria

The S.S. Victoria, a part of Uniworld’s Super Ship fleet, offers an ambiance of contemporary luxury. While not one of Uniworld’s company-owned vessels, the ship maintains the brand’s hallmark elegance and attention to detail. The cabins are designed with a modern aesthetic, featuring plush bedding, marble bathrooms, and expansive openable windows. The Signature French Balcony Rooms are slightly larger, providing enhanced comfort for guests.

Culinary Excellence Onboard

Dining aboard the S.S. Victoria is a gastronomic delight. The cruise offers a comprehensive dining experience, including an early buffet breakfast, buffet lunch, afternoon tea, and the highlight of the day – à la carte dinner. The main dining room is modern and bright, encouraging mingling among guests. The onboard chef curates menus that reflect the culinary heritage of the river regions, with options to choose individual courses or select the chef’s recommendations. An always-available section includes favorites like steak, salmon, or pasta.

For those seeking a more intimate dining experience, the private dining room, aptly named ‘The Vintage Room,’ offers a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Here, guests can indulge in thoughtfully selected wine pairings from local vineyards. At €100 per person, this experience is a worthwhile indulgence during the cruise.

Uniworld is renowned for providing a genuinely all-inclusive experience, alleviating any unexpected expenses during the holiday. Shore excursions are thoughtfully included in the cruise package, expertly guided to offer invaluable insights into local history and culture.

Additional inclusions such as onboard entertainment, wellness programs, and complimentary beverages served throughout the ship further enhance the journey, making it one of the most comprehensive and enriching river cruise experiences available.

Wellness and Leisure Facilities

The S.S. Victoria caters to guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The ship boasts a spa area with a pool, gym, and massage room, allowing passengers to unwind after a day of exploration. The lounge area, adorned with original artwork and fresh flowers, provides a serene environment to relax and socialize.
