UNIWORLD Boutique River Cruises has announced new ‘Cruise & Tour’ combination itineraries with its sister brand Luxury Gold (CW 20 Aug).
The collection of itineraries for next year will blend the two brands’ products, while also enhancing Uniworld’s selection of longer itineraries, which are well-suited to Australian travellers.
Uniworld managing director Alice Ager said the cruise programming itself also caters to exactly what Australians are looking for, including boutique hotels, excellent food, and travelling in small groups of like-minded guests.
“Both Luxury Gold and Uniworld offer access to moments that aren’t your everyday experience with before and after-hours visits so I am confident our agents and our guests are going to love these combinations,” Ager said.
Itineraries will pair a Uniworld cruise with a pre- and post-hotel stay, as well as a 24/7 travel concierge, guided sightseeing, dining, and exclusive experiences.
New 2027 Cruise & Tour itineraries include ‘Revel in Switzerland & the Danube’, a 17-day journey from Geneva to Budapest, which combines a luxurious land tour of Switzerland with an all-inclusive cruise on Europe’s second-longest river.
Highlights include a panoramic journey aboard the Glacier Express, a private after-hours visit to the Rosengart Collection Museum, alpine hikes with a Swiss mountain guide, and Michelin-starred dining, before sailing through Central Europe.
Also new for next year is the ‘Indulge in France & Britain’ itinerary, spanning 17 days from Edinburgh to Paris.
This voyage blends a land journey through Scotland and England with a Seine cruise.
Guests will enjoy exclusive experiences such as a private high tea at Castle Howard, the ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London, visits to iconic castles and Roman cities, and a river cruise featuring Giverny, Rouen, Normandy’s beaches, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Palace of Versailles.
“At Uniworld, our focus is always on creating travel experiences that feel intentional and immersive,” president & chief executive Ellen Bettridge said.
“By pairing our boutique river cruises with some of Luxury Gold’s most popular land itineraries, we’re offering our guests a more expansive way to explore Europe – one that feels seamless and never asks them to compromise on service, comfort, or ease.” MS
