Uniworld River Cruise

Luxury boutique style river cruises

Last month I had the incredible opportunity to spend two nights on board S.S. Joie de Vivre in the French capital, indulging in top quality cuisines, fine wines, infamous entertainment and off-shore excursions designed to delve into the heart of history and culture.

Marble bathrooms made cosy with towel warmers and backlit mirrors make for the perfect place to indulge in the life of glamour ahead of gala evenings onboard. The addition of soft-touch bathrobes and slippers takes in room pampering to the next level, whilst the Asprey bath and body products leave a scent of relaxation upon your skin throughout the night. Hours of feeling like a remarkably rich glass of Louis Roederer champaign starts the moment you step out of the bathroom and into your luxury haven.

Representing elegance, class and luxury, this ship is the perfect elevation to any five star retreat you've experienced before. Boasting a range of cabins, from classic, to deluxe French balcony rooms and grand suites, each room is complete with premium furnishings and thoughtfully curated designs to make every stay unique. A seamless blend of accents inspired by 20th century Paris and modern touches hand-picked from todays boutique style décor makes every suit just as special as the city of love itself.

Though premium journeys can be defined differently by each and every traveller, there's no debating that the finer touches offered onboard the vessel surpass the boundaries of ordinary luxury.

Offering a unique space to relax and unwind the mind, body and soul, the S.S Joie de Vivre boasts an impressive spa and wellness area, inclusive of a pool 'under the stars', yoga classes, a fitness centre and a range of first-class treatments using products hand selected from the brand 'Voya'. Utilizing the space, come cocktail hour Club L'espirit transforms into a vibrant bar, offering an iconic evening of glamourous French entertainment. Claudse's (Club L'espirit by night) also welcomes sailors to exclusive evenings showcasing classic French cinema, the perfect cultural opportunity to immerse in French authenticity during a trip down the river Seine.

The endless opportunities to experience enriched luxury are only made better by the incredible team on board. No request is too much as every member, from cleaners to chefs, strive to make each encounter a memorable one. Delivery first-class service through knowledge, service with a smile and a work ethic dedicated to curating the perfect experiences for each guest.

With the mention of the chef, it's only right to delve into the exquisite delicacies served onboard. A spread of warm pastries, fresh fruits, classic English breakfast items and sweet treats designed to start the day of right welcomes you each morning. Followed by a buffet fit for all offering the finest foods inspired by local favourites, an adventure for the taste buds at every port. But the main event? Each evening find yourself in awe of thoughtfully paired flavours presented to please the most respectable chefs in this world, enriched with the perfect wine pairing and finished with a delightful sweet treat to cleanse the pallet.

From start to finish, day to night, embarking to sailing, the S.S. Joie de Vivre is an experience waiting to enrich your next adventure.
