Queen Isabel Review
Review of Queen Isabel
Uniworld Queen Isabel ship cruises on Douro River departing from Lisbon and Oporto.
Uniworld (officially "Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection") is a major river cruise company part of The Travel Corporation (a group of companies).
MS Queen Isabel cruise ship was launched in 2013 as one of the most luxurious vessels on Douro River in Portugal. The shipowner is Mystic Cruises via its subsidiary brand-company DouroAzul - Portugal's leading cruise tour operator. DouroAzul's smart coaches coordinate with all vessels from the local fleet for shore excursions.
Cabins
MS Queen Isabel ship is currently chartered by Uniworld Cruises for all sailings along the Douro.
The boat is Portugal-built and staffed by all Portuguese crew (the only exception is the Dutch chef).
Queen Isabel has 59 staterooms (of which 20 Suites, in 5 grades) which are relatively small in comparison with those on other Uniworld ships.
The vessel's dimensions have been dictated by the relatively narrow and short locks along Douro River.
Onboard amenities are slightly different from those available on all Uniworld-owned vessels. The cabins' beds, for example, are smaller. The lower deck cabins have large windows.
All staterooms on the upper two decks feature beautifully appointed balconies. There is also adequate storage space and good bathrooms with L'Occitane en Provence products.
Shipboard facilities
MS Queen Isabel has a Restaurant (Main dining room) and Main Lounge (featuring a full-service Bar). Other amenities include a swimming pool on the Sun deck, Serenity River Spa, fitness center, boutique, and elevator. All guests are pampered with complimentary coffee bar and free Wi-Fi and Internet access.
