S.s. joie de vivre

Intimately scaled so it can dock in the heart of Paris, the S.S. Joie de Vivre has two Grand Suites, eight junior Suites and 54 staterooms, all with made-to-order Savoir® Beds of England, custom cotton sateen sheets and European duvets, a menu of pillow options, and marble-lined bathrooms stocked with Asprey bath and body products.
Note: Designated suites provide triple-accommodation options. Adjoining staterooms are available; please inquire at the time of booking.
Please note that categories vary by sailing year.
At Uniworld, dining is never an afterthought—it is an essential part of the river cruise experience. Enjoy all-inclusive dining from relaxed breakfasts to elegant evening service, where dishes are crafted to deepen your connection to the destination.
All‑Inclusive Dining, Without Compromise
Every Uniworld journey includes exceptional dining, allowing you to savor each moment. Menus evolve with your itinerary, pairing beautifully prepared dishes with regional wines and premium beverages—all included. Whether dining in the restaurant or enjoying an informal breakfast, the experience is seamless, generous, and distinctly Uniworld.
Expert Chefs, Inspired by Place
Behind every menu is a team of highly skilled chefs who bring both technical excellence and creative flair. Our Executive Chefs are all members of the prestigious "Chaîne des Rôtisseurs". Uniworld’s culinary leadership draws inspiration from local traditions and classic recipes, reimagined with a contemporary touch. The result is cuisine that feels both authentic and refined—elegant yet approachable, and always rooted in where you are.
Locally Sourced Ingredients
Wherever possible, ingredients are sourced along the route of your journey—from regional markets, local producers, and trusted suppliers. This commitment ensures freshness, supports local communities, and allows each dish to reflect the destination. From European vineyards to riverside farms, your dining experience becomes another way to explore the places you visit.
Every Uniworld cruise is meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last. We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our included and optional excursions immerse you in the authentic culture, sights, and cuisine of the places you’ll visit.
The S.S. Joie de Vivre, our brightly colored, chic, and sophisticated Super Ship™ vessel on the Seine, will completely immerse you in all things French before you ever set foot onshore. Ooh la la!
All our cruises feature several options to get up, get going and stay fit, both onboard and onshore. Our seasoned wellness experts have an average tenure of ten years with Uniworld and continuously hone their craft with annual Ayurveda yoga and other trainings. They are there to lend their expertise to you.
An amazing holiday doesn’t have to mean leaving the kids at home—at least not on a Generations Collection river cruise with Uniworld. These special sailings take our all-inclusive, luxurious voyages and give them a host of additional amenities designed to make travel as special for children and teens as it is for their parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. From intimate family holidays to grand family reunions, these cruises provide a seamless and rewarding way to bond with your loved ones while exploring the world in style.
