Uniworld recently debuted the brand-new, 82-passenger River Tosca, which sails the legendary Nile River in Egypt. The ship is equipped with a gym, massage room and swimming pool with nearby cabanas. All-suite accommodations boast at least 300 square feet of space and feature French balconies (sliding glass doors fronted by a railing), iPod docking stations and flat-screen televisions. For more information about the River Tosca, click here. For a list of available itineraries on this ship, click here.

In addition to launching this new ship, Uniworld has also recently refurbished all of their existing ships, as they do every four years, adding more French balconies to each vessel. A design team from the Red Carnation Hotel Collection oversaw the most recent round of refurbishments, which gave the ships a new, award-winning "Boutique Hotel" design.

Uniworld offers an Epicurean Adventurer program, at no additional charge, on ten itineraries. Guest who participate will enjoy culinary delights such as private wine tastings, a special wine and food pairing dinner, cooking demonstrations and specially designed shore excursions.
