Overview

The S.S. Joie de Vivre on the Seine River is a true jewel in Uniworld's crown.

With a 24-hour in-room dining and butler service, farm-to-table cuisine and superb local wines, nothing reflects the “joy of living” better than this vessel.

Her made-to-order Savoir of England beds, marble-lined bathrooms, sophisticated fabrics, furniture and gilded accents perfectly showcase a highly artistic 20th-century Renaissance theme.

While on your Parisian getaway, be sure to visit the S.S. Joie de Vivre’s Salon de Beaux-Arts lounge which features a collection of fine art and antiques, Salon de Toulouse functioning as a full-service bar, and Le Club L’Esprit dedicated to health and wellness.

Enjoy private dining and wine-pairing dinners at Le Restaurant Pigalle and a Cave de Vins. This is a river cruise set apart from the rest.

Book today and enjoy a lifetime of wonderful memories aboard Uniworld’s S.S. Joie de Vivre.
