Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, River Beatrice

After undergoing a major renovation, the River Beatrice, part of Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection's fleet of intimate luxury ships, is poised to sail in grand style once again. Armed with an extreme makeover, each of her 160 guests will marvel at her fabulous appointments including French balconies jutting from most staterooms. Plus, the River Beatrice has more Junior Suites than any other comparable ship. Behind stateroom doors are hotel-style beds cloaked in fine linens, roomy vanities, air conditioning and flat-panel televisions. The ship also features a fitness center with spa and Jacuzzi, romantic deck dining, a magnificent lounge with panoramic views and full-bar service, a cozy library and elegant restaurant. You will also enjoy the convenience of 24-hour coffee and tea service as well as wireless internet access.

Just as impressive are River Beatrice's itineraries. The Danube Holiday Markets is a voyage that will take you to a quartet of countries—Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany—where festive parties, Christmas markets and the pageantry of the winter holidays create an amazing experience. You will celebrate the music of Mozart in Vienna, bake gingerbread in Passeu, and listen to the sweet sounds of a children's choir in Salzburg. Sail away in the enchanting Danube which takes you to Budapest where you will enjoy city tours, visit historic cathedrals, and applaud musical performances. The itineraries include all onboard meals, wine service with dinner, excursions conducted by English-speaking guides, and the use of bicycles—plus welcome and farewell dinners hosted by the ship's gracious captain.
