Uniworld completed its first annual President�s Cruise onboard the ultra-luxurious, new River Beatrice on May 10, 2009, and the guests� testimonials are in: �We've traveled to all corners of the world, and this has been our favorite vacation, by far. On a scale of 1 to 10......about a 36!!!...It�s hard for me to find enough superlatives that accurately reflect the River Beatrice experience,� stated guest Myles Cohen from Atlanta, Georgia.

The River Beatrice, Uniworld�s newest boutique hotel-style river cruise, set the stage perfectly for the festive eight-day cruise that started in Passau, Germany, and concluded in Budapest, Hungary (http://www.uniworld.com/cruise.asp?ID=181). There were many highlights of the trip, including: an organ concert in Passau�s grand cathedral�home to the largest pipe organ in Europe; a cocktail reception with Princess Anita von Hohenberg at the Arstetten Castle; the Vienna Spanish Riding School; and an exclusive evening concert by the Vienna Residence Orchestra at the Palais Auersperg�the venue of Mozart�s private performance of �Idomeneo.� �From the very first piece the orchestra played, �Marriage of Figaro,� to their final piece, �The Blue Danube Waltz,� I was mesmerized. The orchestra, the opera singers, and beautiful ballet dancers performing this exclusive concert for us in the very place where royalty sat made me feel like royalty myself. What a spectacular evening,� claimed Susan MacFarlane from Toronto, Canada.

Guy Young, President of Uniworld, and his wife Melissa, were on hand the entire week. �My wife and I love river cruising, and hosting the President�s Cruise is a great opportunity for us to do something we love, but even more importantly, it is a great opportunity for us to get to meet our valued guests. As a company, we are always doing our best to improve and having the chance to interact on a one-to-one basis with our guests and to capture their feedback, is the best way for us to continue to elevate our product and stand behind our commitment to deliver the ultimate vacation experience to our guests,� stated Young.

Travel Professional Beverly Koval, MCC from Regal Travel, Honolulu, Hawaii, sums the President�s Cruise up by saying, �I really enjoyed the superior relaxed service, excellent food and educational land tours. The special gifts for the President's Cruise were memorable but spending time with Uniworld River Cruise Management added to the experience. It is great to see management stands behind their product and takes an active interest in the clients' feedback.�

Uniworld second annual President�s Cruise will take place in 2010 along Egypt�s Nile River onboard Uniworld�s second new ship, River Tosca (http://www.uniworld.com/egypt.asp).
