The epitome of French river cruise elegance. Specifically engineered to dock directly in the heart of Paris at Port de Grenelle — walking distance from the Eiffel Tower — S.S. Joie de Vivre carries 128 guests with handcrafted Savoir of England beds, original 20th-century French artwork, Le Club l'Esprit (pool by day, cinema by night), and all-inclusive farm-to-table French gastronomy.
Uniworld's 410 sq ft Grand Suites feature custom French fabric wall coverings, marble bathrooms with Hermès amenities, private butler service, and complimentary laundry. Plus, Le Club l'Esprit features a hydraulic floor that transforms a heated pool into Claude's Cinema for vintage French movies and cocktails.
