  • Kids

    • Kids activities on the S.S. Maria Theresa

    Uniworld believes that most young children (especially those 4 and under) are simply not yet old enough to be able to truly enjoy river cruising. This means that there are no special arrangements for little ones, and there are few kid-friendly activities onboard or onshore.

    Uniworld offers their Generations Collection on select voyages.

    These sailings include two dedicated Uniworld Family Hosts (one for junior cruisers aged 4–12 and one for teen cruisers aged 13–17), a cooking class with the check, a ship tour with the captain or hotel manager, a children's menu, kid-friendly snacks, and games.
