About French Country Waterways

French Country Waterways is a family-owned, personally managed company that owns and operates its fleet of five barges, which is unusual in barging. It was founded in 1984 by Pat and Jim Tyng, who decided they wanted to build their own hotel barge after taking a barge cruise in France. The first barge, the 18-passenger Esprit, converted from a cargo barge to a luxury hotel barge, was launched in 1986. In late 1989 French Country Waterways acquired the 12-passenger Horizon II, eight-passenger Liberte and 12-passenger Nenuphar, three Horizon Cruises barges that had been marketed by Hemphill-Harris. In 1996 the company acquired the Princess, which had been the private barge of international shipping magnate Daniel K. Ludwig. The company strives to set the standard for barge cruising in France and offers six-night luxury barge cruises in the heart of France—Alsace-Lorraine, Burgundy, Champagne, upper Loire Valley—from April through October. There is an English/French-speaking crew on the air-conditioned barges.

About Gota Canal Steamship Company

The Göta Canal Steamship Company Ltd, which cruises Sweden’s inland waterways, was founded in 1869. Its first boat, the Motalaström, was built in 1855. Business soon exceeded expectations and two new boats, Venus and Juno, were built. The Juno was delivered in 1874 and is still in operation. In 1876 collaboration was started with the travel agency Thomas Cook & Co in London, and the Göta Canal Steamship Company became the first company to attract tourists to Sweden. By the 1880s, the company had no less than 11 boats in service, several of which were combined cargo and passenger vessels. A new passenger steamer, Diana, was built and delivered in 1931. In 1939 World War II broke out and the boats were laid up. During the period 1947 to 1956, the company was run by several owners with varying success. In 1957 the company was bought by ship owner Helge Källsson in Lidköping. The three ships Juno, Wilhelm Tham and Diana were carefully modernized. In 1986, Källsson's daughter, Britmari Brax, bought the company from her father. Since January 2001, the shipping line is a member of the Strömma Group, a company with a long tradition in the preservation and operation of historic vessels.

About Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection

For nearly four decades, Uniworld has taken guests to the most spectacular destinations in Europe, Egypt, and China.  Since 2006, when Uniworld was acquired by the Travel Corporation, the parent company of many popular travel companies such as Trafalgar, Insight, Brendan, and Contiki, as well as Red Carnation Hotels, Uniworld has made major investments in its ships. Nine of the vessels are owned by Uniworld for cruises in Europe. In addition, the company jointly operates one river cruise ship, the Douro Queen, in Portugal (with the new Douro Spirit entering service in 2011); and another, the River Victoria, in Russia. Ships used in the Egypt program are under charter agreements; and, in China, space is booked through an affiliation with Victoria Cruises, the country's premiere five-star river cruise ship company.

*Victoria Cruises presents the majesty of the Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world and China’s longest. Based in New York, Victoria Cruises established new standards of excellence for Yangtze River cruising more than eight years ago with the inaugural sailing of the Victoria I. Victoria Cruises is the only U.S. company that operates and manages the largest fleet of vessels sustaining international standards of quality and comfort on the Yangtze River with multilingual staffs on three- to ten-day itineraries. All cruises sail through the ship locks adjacent to China's new engineering marvel-the Three Gorges Dam, where a sightseeing tour is included.

Victoria Cruises is a member of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), and an allied member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA).

About Viking River Cruises

* Viking River Cruises, a global corporation headquartered in Woodlands, California, was established in 1997 by a Scandinavian and Dutch consortium with the purchase of four Russian ships. The following year, additional European ships were purchased, and the company continued to cater to European passengers. With the establishment of a U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles in 2000, Viking River Cruises expanded into the American market. That same year Viking purchased the Cologne, Germany-based KD River Cruises. In 2010 Viking operates 18 vessels. Two new vessels will debut in 2011.
