The Joy Of Uniworld
With special offers and the truly all-inclusive nature of a Uniworld Boutique River Cruise, there may be no better time for clients to book that one-of-a-kind trip of a lifetime, reports assistant editor, Greg Coates in this week’s digital edition of Canadian Travel Press.
The award-winning Uniworld – a sponsor in this year’s Agents’ Choice Awards – offers a “six star” experience on itineraries in destinations throughout Europe, Russia and Asia.
The company’s European fleet features luxurious ships with an average capacity of 130 guests, one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios in the industry, enticing shore excursions, world-class gourmet cuisine, renowned hospitality and numerous other all-inclusive benefits.
Uniworld’s boutique river cruises allow guests to travel from one exciting destination to the next aboard a stylish floating hotel with inviting lounges, cozy libraries, panoramic restaurants, sumptuous cuisine, exquisite antiques and original art, and luxurious riverview staterooms and suites.
Meticulous attention to detail is readily apparent on every company-owned ship, including the line’s three Super Ships – the S.S. Antoinette, S.S. Catherine and S.S. Maria Theresa.
In partnership with its sister company, Red Carnation Hotels, Uniworld takes pride in its long-lasting relationships with guests, for whom there is “no request too large, no detail too small.”
According to Michelle Palma, director, national accounts, Canada at Uniworld, with the Canadian dollar down so much, now is the best time to book a Uniworld Boutique River Cruise.
“With our truly all-inclusive Canadian dollar pricing, consumers can pay in advance and literally have no bill at the end of their cruise,” she said. “New for 2017, we are including the port charges and offering 24-hour complimentary room service and concierge services. We can arrange everything from tickets to exclusive events, to private helicopter tours and much more.”
She notes that Uniworld recently launched a Double Early Booking Savings offer for 2017 departures. And, for agents, Palma says Uniworld’s “Book 3, Sail Free” incentive has seen an incredible response. The offer runs until mid-May and gives agents the chance to earn a free eight-day cruise for themselves and a companion in Europe on both FIT and group bookings for 2016 departures.
New for 2017, Uniworld will unveil is new super ship, the S.S. Joie de Vivre, which will sail along France’s historic Seine River.
Guy Young, president of Uniworld, commented, “We are extremely proud to launch the S.S. Joie de Vivre in Northern France in March 2017. Uniworld was one of the very first river cruise companies to sail the rivers of France, and our parent company, The Travel Corporation, has been bringing travellers from all over the world to this amazing country for over 70 years as this has been one of our most popular destinations, so our commitment to France is unwavering.”
