FIVE STAR CULINARY EXCELLENCE
     The Very Best Culinary Experiences
     available on the world’s rivers

     Our Culinary History
     Uniworld founder, Mrs Beatrice Tollman’s
     culinary vision lives on with her many
     signature dishes guests can enjoy onboard.
     Mrs Tollman’s memoir, A Life in Food,
     chronicles her gastronomic prowess and
     joy of being able to share her life’s passion
     with thousands of guests. If the all-inclusive
     amenities and luxurious accommodations
     weren’t enough to put you in a state of
     comfortable bliss, the homegrown cooking
     combined with five-star elegance will.
18
As you sail from one destination to the next, prepare for a journey filled with
exquisite culinary experiences. We proudly offer our guests the finest dining
experiences available on the world’s rivers, a statement our distinguished chefs have
worked incredibly hard to achieve. Using only the freshest local ingredients delivered
every day, our culinary philosophy revolves around providing locally inspired culinary
options that you would come to expect in the world’s best restaurants.

World-Class Local Wines
Our cruises sail through some of the world’s
most acclaimed wine-producing regions
in Europe. Our onboard wine menus are
expertly curated by our staff of Sommeliers
to reflect the very destination you are sailing
through. These wines rotate daily to give
you the full local experience, however, if you
take a particular liking to a certain bottle, our
onboard staff are more than happy to keep a
few reserved for you each night.

                                                                                         19

completely up to you. As standard all our
restaurants have multiple tables of 2, 4, 6
and 8 set up every night, however, if you
need anything changed our staff are
