One of Europe’s great rivers, the Seine runs in graceful loops from the City of Light to the heart of Normandy and out to the Channel. Small enough to dock in central Paris, the S.S. Joie de Vivre traces this picturesque valley, revealing a rich blend of art, history, and local traditions along the way. With all meals, premium drinks, curated excursions, and gratuities included, this luxurious vessel is an indulgent base, its personality-filled interiors oozing Parisian glamour with easy-going extravagance.
Uniworld’s attention to detail continues in the 64 staterooms and suites, where handcrafted Savoir® Beds of England, marble bathrooms with Asprey toiletries, and Parisian flair create a calm, relaxing sanctuary. Classic staterooms feature windows at the waterline inviting in natural light, while higher categories offer more space and French balconies framing the Seine. Suites and Grand Suites add an extra layer of indulgence with separate living areas, in-suite butler service, Nespresso coffee machines, and fully stocked mini bars.
Being French, fine dining is at the heart of the Joie de Vivre experience. La Restaurante Pigalle, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an elegant setting, with menus inspired by towns along the Seine, while Le Bistrot offers lighter, bistro-style dishes in a relaxed, Parisian café atmosphere. La Cave des Vins is an intimate space for wine tastings and private dinners, where guests can join chef-led cookery demonstrations in the show kitchen.
During the day, recline on a sun lounger on Deck de Montmartre while soaking up the views, or enjoy a drink in the inviting Salon Toulouse. Club L’Esprit tends to mind, body, and spirit with an indoor resistance pool, yoga sessions, a fitness center, and a selection of spa and beauty treatments. After dark, it seamlessly becomes Claude’s, a glamorous bar with cocktails, live music, and the occasional classic French film.
