PERSONAL STORIES

Uniworld's River Royale is a first-class, 5-star treat for travellers. Starting in Lyon and travelling on the Saone, then down the Rhone to the city of Arles via Tain L'Hermitage, Avignon is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in adult cruising.

Put into service in 2006, the boat has a varied but English-speaking crew that caters to your every wish. Should you want to savor the sights on the Rhone River, this is definitely the way to go.
