We usually compare travel agencies for every trip we take, and Affordable Tours alwqys comes out ahead. We have always been satisfied with their service and will continue to use them.

First class, well operated cruise line. Service and food outstanding, the ship is well appointed and comfortable. Uniworld is probably not the cheapest out there, but you get the quality you pay for. The staff is exceptional and the entire experience was flawless.
