Uniworld/Insight 2017 release

THE 2017 Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Insight Vacations Europe’s Finest collection was unveiled to agents at an event in Sydney last night.

Described by Uniworld md Fiona Dalton as “the best of both worlds” the program matches up river cruises with land tours in eight itineraries, two of which feature Insight Vacations’ Luxury Gold product.

Two new itineraries, the 23-day Danube Delights & the Dalmation River, and 19-day Elegance of England & France have been introduced this year.

Dalton told CW the collection offered agents “best in class commission, one phone call and the support and safety net of beautiful trusted brands like ours.

“I think in these uncertain times having the benefit of a safe pair of hands as well with Insight and with Uniworld is just an extra layer of confidence that we can give them,” Dalton said.

Uniworld and Insight are both seeing a pickup in demand over the last three or four months.

“There’s no doubt that the impact of what happened in Europe had an impact on consumer confidence to travel to Europe earlier this year but I think Australians have a great degree of resilience,” she said.

“Travel comes with risk, we can’t guarantee people’s safety but I think having the support of really well known, well trusted brands is really valuable, but things don’t always go according to plan.”
