Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection is complement­ing its offering with a new partnershi­p with Golden Eagle Luxury Trains.

Two itinerarie­s in the company’s newly released 2021 collection link rail journeys from Switzerlan­d and Italy with Uniworld’s popular Venice river cruises, featuring the newly remodelled Super Ship S.S. La Venezia which is set to debut in the coming weeks.

In Australia last month to launch the new program, Uniworld CEO Ellen Bettridge told travelbull­etin she was looking forward to the addition of four more Super Ships to the fleet over the coming months, with La Venezia to be joined by S.S. Sphinx in Egypt, S.S. Sao Gabriel in Portugal and Mekong Jewel in Indochina. Next year the upgrades will continue, with the transforma­tion of S.S. Queen and

S.S. Empress.

Bettridge also hailed the success of Uniworld’s newest destinatio­n, the Peruvian Amazon, where the company will significan­tly expand its capacity in 2021 after the almost immediate sellout of the 2020 season. And she has high expectatio­ns for this year’s European summer program operated by sister brand U River Cruises, which will have two vessels on the Danube targeting millennial­s, honeymoone­rs, solo travellers and “adult children with their parents”.

Uniworld is currently offering travel consultant­s an uncapped $500 booking bonus for every passenger booked on a 2020 departure before 31 March 2020, as part of its celebratio­ns for The Travel Corporatio­n’s 100th anniversar­y this year.
