Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection (www.uniworld.com), the world’s only authentic boutique cruise line, has released its 2017 Asia Cruises and Tours in India, China, Cambodia and Vietnam. The collection features five expertly-crafted itineraries designed to take travellers on epic journeys through these exotic lands. Must-see treasures such as India’s Taj Mahal, China’s Great Wall and Cambodia’s Angkor Wat are explored alongside hidden gems that only the rivers can reveal. Uniworld is the ultimate way to experience Asia with elegantly appointed all-suite ships, exclusive VIP benefits and onshore accommodation at five-star hotels.
“When people travel with Uniworld, they can be assured of a seamless luxury experience from land to river,” said John Molinaro, General Manager of Uniworld Australia. “We made the decision for 2017 to use only all-suite ships in Asia. In Vietnam and Cambodia, we’re introducing the all-suite Mekong Navigator; in China, we are providing magnificent Executive Suites on the Century Legend; and in India, we’re sailing the newly inaugurated all-suite Ganges Voyager II. Each ship offers the highest standards of excellence in these regions.”
Uniworld’s 15-day “Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong” presents a deep exploration of two worlds joined by one river. New for 2017, Uniworld introduces the 68-passenger, all-suite Mekong Navigator. Fashioned in the spirit of the French Colonial-era manor homes of Old Saigon, this is the most luxurious ship sailing the Mekong. Accommodation onshore includes the Park Hyatt Saigon and the Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa, Siem Reap. Uncover the tale of these two countries starting in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, capital of the past, and ending in Hanoi, capital of the present. In between these two iconic cities lies Cambodia’s Phnom Penh and Siem Reap—gateway to the UNESCO-designated Angkor Wat—along with an abundance of authentic and immersive encounters with locals.
Travel in style through the land of the dragon, China, onboard the Century Legend, with Executive Suites measuring 415 sq. ft., and stay at world-renowned properties onshore such as the Ritz Carlton Beijing and the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai. Uniworld offers 11-day “Highlights of China & the Yangtze”; 14-day “China, Tibet & the Yangtze”; and 18-day “Grand China & the Yangtze.” Excursions range from the man-made marvels—Great Wall, Xi’an’s Terra Cotta Warriors, the Forbidden City and Tibet’s Potala Palace—to its natural wonders—the Yangtze Three Gorges, Guilin’s Reed Flute Caves and Hangzhou’s Westlake.
Uniworld’s 13-day “India’s Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges” includes five nights onshore at three award-winning Oberoi Hotels & Resorts in Agra, Jaipur and New Delhi, and seven nights on-board the newly launched 56-passenger all-suite ship Ganges Voyager II. Highlights include: the Taj Mahal; Jaipur’s City Palace; New Delhi’s Humayun’s Tomb; Gandhi’s black granite memorial and Mother Teresa’s tomb; India’s “Temple City,” Kalna; and the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium.
