Diverse Destinations and Extended Itineraries
Building on its previous two-year success with Cruise and rail journeys, Uniworld is now introducing more comprehensive itineraries. These include destinations such as Istanbul, the Balkans, and Greece - a response to high demand and guest feedback. The new offerings are structured to provide longer, more immersive luxury experiences, with trips extending up to 19 days.
For instance, the 17-day Venice, Istanbul & the Balkans itinerary, and the 19-day Milan, Venice, Istanbul & the Balkans journey, navigate through Eastern Europe, touching Macedonia, Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, and the Greek seafront in Thessaloniki. Extensions to Lake Como and Lake Lugano in Switzerland further enrich these experiences.
In-Depth European Exploration
Each itinerary is meticulously crafted for an in-depth exploration of European culture and landscapes. The 14-day Grand Alpine & Enchanting Danube itinerary, for example, starts with a Cruise on the Upper Danube, followed by a rail journey covering Austria, Italy, and Slovenia, with an option to extend the trip to Prague.
Similarly, the 15-day Grand Alpine & Jewels of the Veneto offers a voyage through the Venetian Lagoon, contrasting the Danube experience. The 15-day Delightful Danube & the Castles of Transylvania, spanning from Istanbul to Nuremberg, introduces travelers to the diverse cultures of Romania, Hungary, Turkiye, and Bulgaria.
