Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has launched a campaign offering complimentary land stays on select 2027 dates and itineraries in Europe, when booked before 31 August 2026
As part of its wide-ranging portfolio of land, rail and, more recently, ocean combinations Uniworld’s extensive programme includes itineraries with luxury hotel stays at the beginning or end of a seven-day cruise, including experiences, transfers and the support of a Uniworld Host throughout
For a limited time only, Uniworld is offering the land portion at no cost on a number of select itineraries and departures. As further added value, Uniworld is also offering 125 Euros of on-board credit per person, which can be put towards indulgent extras such as Masterpiece Collection experiences, Speciality Dinners or spa treatments, if booked before 31 August 2026
To support agents in articulating and promoting this incredible offer, Uniworld has produced a dedicated 24-page digital mini-brochure outlining the packages and VIP inclusions
Options include the 10-night Slovenia, Venice and the Jewels of the Veneto, which combines a seven-night immersion in Venice and the Veneto region with a complimentary three-night land stay in Ljubljana with accommodation at the Intercontinental Hotel on a B&B basis. At no extra cost, guests can enjoy excursions to Lake Bled and the famed Bled Castle, as well as the Postojna Caves. Guests will also visit a local farm to learn about Slovenia’s beekeeping traditions, taste the delicious honey, and make their own beeswax candles.
The lead-in price for this seamless 11-day trip (incorporating the complimentary land stay) is £2,749 pp sharing, departing on 15 July 2027 on the S.S. La Venezia, and includes international flights, transfers, a full programme of activities, all-inclusive dining on the ship with all drinks (including premium wines, spirits, cocktails, and Champagne) at any time, three nights of hotel accommodation in Slovenia, and the services of a Uniworld Cruise Manager / Host throughout
Other itineraries included in the complimentary land offer are the 10-night Portugal, Spain and the Douro Valley which combines a three-night luxury hotel stay in Lisbon with seven nights’ sailing aboard the popular Douro River aboard the S.S. São Gabriel and the new S.S. São Rafael. The itinerary includes a visit to the hilltop Castle Rodrigo, a hike to see prehistoric cave art, a day trip to Salamanca, a Porto city tour, and plenty of port and wine tastings at local quintas. Also included is the nine-night Vienna and Capital Cities of the Danube, combining a complimentary land stay in Vienna in a luxury hotel before cruising the Lower Danube to Belgrade.
There is a total of six different itineraries on which to take advantage of the complimentary land stay, across 29 departures in 2027
Chris Townson, MD of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, EMEA, said: “Uniworld has increasingly become much more than a river cruise operator, with elegant land, rail and even ocean stays seamlessly included in our holidays. We want to make it easier than ever for our agent partners and guests to come on this journey with us so, for a limited time only, and on selected 2027 itineraries, we are including some land stays on a complimentary basis
“It’s an incredible and unprecedented offer which means that agents can present their clients with the opportunity to extend their trip and enjoy one of Europe’s finest capital cities in supreme comfort and style at no extra cost, at the beginning or end of seven nights of ultra-luxury river cruising.”
Uniworld’s European cruises are renowned for their ultra-luxury and generous all-inclusive approach, meaning that – once onboard – guests do not need to put their hands in their pocket to enjoy exceptional dining, premium drinks and immersive experiences. However, some extra indulgences are available to purchase – for example Masterpiece Collection experiences, Speciality Dinners and spa treatments – and Uniworld is also offering 125 Euros of on-board credit per person on certain bookings made before 31 August 2026, which is combinable with the complimentary land stay.
