Uniworld partners with Luxury Gold to start land-based long-haul holidays

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has signalled continued expansion with the introduction of luxury land-based long-haul holidays.

The company has joined forces with Luxury Gold to include the option within an 84-page brochure bringing together a full range of the operator’s expanded offering, also including new European cruise and tour journeys.  

The Ultimate Journey Collection 2026-27 portfolio incorporates land, rail and river cruise holidays with trip durations of up to 25 days.

Itineraries include Japan and South Africa alongside cruise and tour options such as a 19-day Italy journey from Venice.    

UK, Europe and South Africa managing director Chris Townson said: “For 50 years, Uniworld has been renowned for offering the finest cruises available on the rivers of the world, but we are evolving to be much more than just a luxury river cruise company. 

“Our guests aren’t necessarily looking for one type of experience when on holiday – they simply want the ultimate way to immerse themselves in a destination in style and with wow, memory-making moments along the way.”  

“So now customers and agents can come to us for a wide range of holiday options, including unique combinations of ultra-luxury river cruise, touring, resort, rail and – now for the first time – elegant long-haul land-only itineraries.

“And they can be assured that the same careful attention to detail, cultural connection, personalised service, exceptional fine dining and supremely comfortable surroundings will apply throughout.

“Our guests have come to expect certain standards from being on board our ships, so our land-based experiences must deliver at the same level – and trust me, they do.”
