Uniworld proudly promotes the boutique nature of their cruise ships. Nowhere is this more evident than in the staterooms. Travelers who love Uniworld will likely describe the decor as “exquisite”. Others may describe it as “pompous” and may prefer instead to experience the emphasis that Avalon puts on the views from the ship instead of the design of its interior. Features for Uniworld include:
- Beds hand-crafted by Savoir® of England

- Quality linens
- Staterooms approximately 150 – 200 sq ft; Suites approximately 200 – 300 sq ft; Royal Suites approximately 400 sq ft
