Uniworld Boutique River Cruises are totally committed to family cruising. Their cruises cater for multi generational families and interactive onboard experiences. Kids can learn to cook with the ship’s chef, go for a tour behind-the-scenes with the captain, join some craft workshops or learn a few words of the local language. There is a young travellers’ lounge, a playstation, movies, games … and if parents want a quiet romantic on-shore dinner and a table for two – there are onboard hosts to babysit! And the best part? 4 to 18 year olds are half price!
