      The French Balcony cabin does not have an actual balcony. It has a French Balcony window which opens up. There is no smoking in the cabin. For the comfort of all the guests, smoking is only permitted on the sun decks of Uniworld's ships.

      Dear Irvine, I've updated the pricing on the left side of this page to reflect 1 traveller in a Classic - Single Room (162 sq ft, window) on Bavarian Deck onboard the S.S. Maria Theresa departing on 13 Aug, 2023. The total comes to USD $ 5,309/-. Please note this price does not include international flights but does include airport transfers, excursions, and gratuities.

      Lorraine

      Traveler•Written March 2023

      After much searching I gather this classic room is at the bottom of the ship. I was looking for a French Balcony, so will have to change my dates and see what I can find.

    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperator•Written March 2023

      I can indeed price out a French Balcony Cabin for you for the 13th August 2023 or if you have an alternative date in mind please do let me know and I can price that date out for you in a French Balcony.

    Tour Details
    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperator•Written January 2023

      Flights: Uniworld can only book flights from the UK and Ireland, if guests are happy to book their own flights, we can arrange transfers for them if the flights arrive on Munich between 6am and 4pm and depart Budapest 6am and 4pm on the first and last days of the cruise.

    Lorraine

    Asked on December 16th, 2022

    We need a cabin for two but we do not wish to have a double bed. Twin beds is what we need. In the information you sent they only seem to have cabins with double beds.

    Accommodation
    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperator•Written December 2022

      Uniworld bed sizes are standard on all Uniworld ships: All cabin categories Except the Suite have a Queen-sized bed, so I will ask the operator if it is possible to request twin beds in a classic cabin. I will get back to you once I hear from them.

    • Uniworld Boutique River Cruise CollectionOperator•Written December 2022

      Uniworld has reverted back and they have ensured that whatever category you select, the beds can be arranged to be twin beds. Let me know what cabin category is of your interest and we'll kindly offer you a quote.
