Chorley, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) --11/21/2011 -- Uniworld River Cruises has won the highly prestigious award of Best River Cruise line in the world by Condé Nast Traveler in the annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

The river cruise line has been recognised in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers Poll and Gold List since 2007, which is quite an achievement. Each of the Cruise lines was rated out of 100. Uniworld River Cruises scored an incredible 90.3 – which put it well ahead of its competitors.

Mal Barritt, director of cruises.com – the world’s largest cruise company – says “What an outstanding achievement this is for Uniworld River Cruises. To be recognised in the Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers Poll and Gold List for 4 years on the run really does say it all.”

“Achieving a staggering 90.3 out of 100 in this year’s awards is quite something. Having experienced a Uniworld voyage myself, the cruise line certainly ticks all the right boxes. From the exceptional service, dining to the accommodation, it’s a first class experience from start to finish” Barritt added.
