VIVE LA FRANCE!
Uniworld Announces New Super
Ship,
S.S. Joie de Vivre
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection will soon
introduce their new masterpiece, the one-of-a-kind
Super Ship,
S.S. Joie de Vivre,
sailing along France’s
historic Seine River.
Aptly named
S.S. Joie de Vivre,
Uniworld’s new
ship will reflect the French “joy of living” philosophy
and their profound appreciation for food, wine, art
and music. Everything from the ship’s décor and
design, to farm-to-table cuisine and superb local
wines will be on full display for guests to enjoy. The
design team from Uniworld’s sister company, Red
Carnation Hotels, will once again bring their creative
talents to the
S.S. Joie de Vivre,
designing another ship
as majestic as the destination itself. French inspired
handcrafted furniture with rich fabrics, antiques, art,
gilded and wrought-iron accents will blend in perfect
harmony with modern-day conveniences.
The
S.S. Joie de Vivre’s
Salon de Beaux-Arts
lounge will feature a collection of fine art and
antiques curated from auction houses, such as
Sotheby’s and Christie’s, as well as private collections.
The Le Club l’Esprit comes complete with a cinema
and a surrounding pool with a hydraulic floor, which
can turn into a dance floor or outdoor cinema at
night. Dining venues include Le Restaurant Pigalle
and La Cave de Vins, a vinoteque for private dining
and wine-pairing dinners.
The
S.S. Joie de Vivre
features two Royal Suites,
eight Junior Suites, and 54 staterooms for a capacity
of no more than 128 guests. Each suite will be
designed with its own signature style and feature
enhanced amenities and services, including butlers
trained to the same exacting standard as Buckingham
Palace. All suites and staterooms have custom-made-
to-order Savoir of England beds with unique
headboards of various designs and marble bathrooms
in various color-schemes.
