Unique among river cruise ships in Europe, Uniworld’s River Queen’s exterior resembles the Grand River steamships of the 1930’s, while her plush interior provides a classical elegance reminiscent of the famous Art Deco style.
Launched in 1991, River Queen is 361 feet long and carries 132 guests in 66 staterooms and 4 suites.

There are five stateroom categories aboard River Queen and one suite category. Staterooms measure 151 square feet on average, and suites 215 square feet. All cabins feature luxurious, specially made English Savoir™ beds and fine linens, bottled water, flat-panel interactive television, bathrobes and a well-appointed bathroom stocked with L’Occitane toiletries.
As an added bonus, guests booking suite accommodations receive free laundry service and a daily newspaper, along with slippers, an in-room coffee machine, a bottle of wine upon embarkation, a fruit and cookie plate, morning coffee and shoe shine.
The Lounge aboard River Queen even includes a working fireplace. Photo courtesy of Uniworld River Cruises.
The ship’s public areas are where River Queen really sets herself apart from her fleetmates. She boasts a panoramic lounge complete with the only working fireplace on any river cruise ship, the intimate and cozy Captain’s Lounge, a library, an elegant dining room featuring spectacular views, as well as a spa with sauna, fitness room, and a guest boutique. All public areas are equipped with Wi-Fi access, and meals are open-seating.
With her distinct features and classic Art Deco styling, it’s no wonder River Queen was recently named one of the “Top Small Cruise Ships” by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Join her on a voyage along the Rhine, or on one of the line’s extremely popular “Christmas Markets” cruises.
