We river boat cruise with Uniworld, but only because we started with them through AAA. We liked them and stayed with them. But, I have to believe that all the river boat cruises are very comparable because you never see any complaints about a river cruise.

I would point out another thing about cruising on the rivers in Europe. When you pull into a town and dock you never see the poverty that is prevalent in the Islands on the ocean cruises. You are never surrounded by people trying to sell you something or pester you to use their transportation. In our case, we just walked off the boat and walked into the town, or took an organized excursion bus. It really is a totally different way to travel. This year we are doing the Portugese Douro River Cruise which is new on their itinerary.
