Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has launched a new 84-page brochure which, for the first time, brings together the full range of the operator’s expanded offering including new European Cruise and Tour journeys and Uniworld’s inaugural collection of Luxury Long-Haul Land holidays.
With journeys of up to 25 days, Uniworld’s portfolio now incorporates the very best luxury land, rail and river cruise holidays from Uniworld’s Spectacular Journeys of the World collection in India, Southeast Asia, South America, Egypt and Jordan alongside a new Cruise and Tour programme in Europe and the ultimate land-only journeys from sister brand, Luxury Gold, in Europe, Japan, South Africa, and Eastern Canada.
Chris Townson, Uniworld’s MD for UK, Europe and South Africa, said: “For 50 years, Uniworld has been renowned for offering the finest cruises available on the rivers of the world, but we are evolving to be much more than just a luxury river cruise company. Our guests aren’t necessarily looking for one type of experience when on holiday – they simply want the ultimate way to immerse themselves in a destination in style and with wow, memory-making moments along the way.”
“So now customers and agents can come to us for a wide range of holiday options, including unique combinations of ultra-luxury river cruise, touring, resort, rail and – now for the first time – elegant long-haul land-only itineraries. And they can be assured that the same careful attention to detail, cultural connection, personalised service, exceptional fine dining and supremely comfortable surroundings will apply throughout. Our guests have come to expect certain standards from being on board our ships, so our land-based experiences must deliver at the same level – and trust me, they do.”
New to Uniworld’s 2027 collection are its Cruise & Tour combinations in Europe, which link luxurious eight-day cruises sailing on Europe’s most celebrated rivers with small-group based touring, staying in the most iconic hotels and enjoying immersive cultural connection to each destination visited.
