Uniworld Offers 2017 Floating Photography Workshops

This summer, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection is offering guests the opportunity to take part in a Floating Photography Workshop onboard two June itineraries in Italy and eastern Europe. The workshops are designed for beginner and intermediate photographers using either digital cards or film.

Known for his award-winning photographs that have appeared in Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, and LIFE, among others, Mark will offer his expertise throughout the cruise, teaching passengers the art of photography.
