LOS ANGELES — Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has announced a new collection of Cruise & Tour itineraries for 2027, created in partnership with sister brand Luxury Gold.
Debuting in 2027, the new offerings combine Uniworld’s luxury river cruises with Luxury Gold’s small-group guided land journeys in Europe’s most iconic destinations. Guests benefit from the simplicity of one booking, elevated hotel stays before and/or after each cruise, and a consistent level of luxury across both land and river components.
“At Uniworld, our focus is always on creating travel experiences that feel intentional and immersive,” said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld. “By pairing our boutique river cruises with some of Luxury Gold’s most popular land itineraries, we’re offering our guests a more expansive way to explore Europe —one that feels seamless and never asks them to compromise on service, comfort or ease.”
Land portions of each Cruise & Tour itinerary include guided sightseeing with expert guides, exceptional dining experiences and exclusive activities, supported by a 24/7 Travel Concierge. Once onboard, guests experience Uniworld’s signature design, service and curated shore excursions, creating a journey that blends cultural discovery with all-inclusive river cruising from start to finish.
