Uniworld Expands In-Suite Butler Service
Uniworld Expands In-Suite Butler Service Throughout Award-Winning European Fleet
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has announced the expansion of their in-suite butler service on all European ships starting in 2016.
Uniworld currently offers in-suite butler service on the River Beatrice, S.S. Antoinette, S.S. Catherine, and S.S. Maria Theresa. Onboard, guests staying in suites will have their every need attended to by Uniworld’s renowned butlers. All butlers are trained under the tutelage of Zita Langenstein of England’s Ivor Spencer Butler School (She’s a fancy Swiss butler who works at Buckingham Palace).
In addition to butler service, every suite in the Uniworld fleet is uniquely decorated to be one-of-a-kind, yet all suites share the same exacting standards and signature touches for which Uniworld is known.
Each Uniworld suite includes hand-crafted Savoir® of England, Italian marble lined bathrooms, heated towel warmers, and Hermès and L’Occitane en Provence bath and body products. Added in-suite amenities include laundry and shoeshine service, in-suite breakfast, a refrigerator well-stocked with alcoholic (They had me at alcoholic) and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as personalized exercise training and wellness services.
