River cruises are often viewed as exclusively for the older generation, but with Uniworld, this is simply not the case. Uniworld have launched a number of multigenerational family orientated river cruise programs, designed to cater for people of all ages – old and young! These extra special voyages are scheduled to take place over the summer holidays, perfect for families with children at school.

All of the details for this fantastic family-friendly program have been planned out before-hand, so you don’t need to worry about a thing when it comes to keeping the kids happy on holiday. In addition, everything is incorporated within your original price, including all meals and entertainment, all on-board programs, thrilling shore excursions with expert local guides, complimentary use of bicycles whilst ashore and transfers on arrival and departure dates – all with special family pricing.

Just some of the on-board highlights specifically aimed at younger travellers include an on-board games room equipped with an array of fantastic games and movies as well as Playstation 2 and Wii consoles. Children can also enjoy an extra special tour of the ship with either the Captain or the Hotel Manager. On top of all this, kids can look forward to an exceptional children’s menu designed especially for them, containing a wealth of child-friendly options and soft drinks for lunch and dinner aboard the vessel.

Uniworld know that children can often be fussy when it comes to food, which is why they have created a children’s menu guaranteed to please even the most selective of young diners. Kids can try a wide range of meals on-board, from the Pinocchio Salad (sun-dried tomatoes with mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar) and Caesar Salad Spiderman (romaine lettuce with chicken, croutons and parmesan cheese featuring a Caesar dressing) to the Flying Dutchman (deep fried breaded Gouda cheese with cranberry jam) and the Asterix Magic Elixir (chicken consommé with vegetables and vermicelli noodles). Alternatively, kids can also enjoy familiar favourites such as spaghetti and meatballs, margarita pizzas, cheeseburgers and fries, chicken wings with barbeque sauce and breaded fish fillets amongst a plethora of other options.

For dessert, why not let them try the delectable Donald Duck (a specially made crepe with strawberry jam and vanilla sauce), Mickey Mouse (vanilla ice-cream with chocolate fudge sauce and whipped cream) or Miss Piggy (fresh fruit salad with strawberry ice-cream). Whichever pudding they choose they are sure to select something scrumptious!
