We wanted to cruise the wine country in Southern France. Uniworld is a little pricy but everything is included. All tours, tips, drinks, and excellent food. The booze that was included is high quality. No ticket every time you order a drink. Everything is included. I spent zero on the boat except I gave the butler Valentina as little extra tip. This was not expected because all tips are included in the price of the cruise. If I take another river cruise it will be with Uniworld. Only 150 people of the boat so no crowds. I never had to rush to get my table for dinner. The butler always had one reserved. The experience was generally wonderful from the moment we were picked up at the airport until we departed 7 days later. We took the TGV from Lyon to Paris for an extra 3 nights. You got to try Uniworld at least once.
