Following the success of its 2012 Asia program, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection (www.uniworldcruises.com.au) has launched its new 2013 Asia River Cruises and Tours brochure with an extended product offering.
Over the past 12 months, Uniworld has experienced great interest in its Asia program with all itineraries selling out for the 2012 season. To meet this phenomenal demand, the 5-star boutique river cruise company has extended its offering in Asia for 2013 with the introduction of a brand new itinerary and three new ships to its fleet.
John Molinaro, General Manager, Uniworld, said: “We have been amazed at Uniworld’s success this year in Asia and I am thrilled to launch our new program for 2013. We now offer five expertly planned itineraries including the new 10-day Impressions of China & the Yangtze which travels from Shanghai to Beijing, providing guests with a unique way to explore this intriguing region.
“The 2013 program also signals the launch of three new ships in Asia and the beginning of two new partnerships with Century River Cruises in China along the Yangtze River and Pandaw in Vietnam and along the Mekong River in Cambodia.
“When in China, guests will now have the chance to travel on the five-star Century Legend or Century Paragon. These two new state-of-the-art ships provide an unrivaled luxurious experience and offer a host of special VIP benefits available only for Uniworld guests. They both also feature an executive deck, gigantic indoor pool and spa area.
“This year saw the introduction of two new destinations to our Asia program, Vietnam and Cambodia, to complement Uniworld’s rich existing offering in China. This has proved to be such a great success that we will be launching a sister ship to the River Saigon in 2013 called the River Orchid. Both vessels will offer the 15-day Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & Mekong operating between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
“Ensuring our Uniworld values are maintained both on and off the vessel, we have implemented many features so that the experience off shore is as enjoyable and exclusive as onboard. Our guests will be accommodated in elite, centrally located five-star hotels which provide a luxurious home base when they are off the ship.
“Key hotels in China include the Ritz-Carlton Beijing and the Four Points by Sheraton, Lhasa. In Vietnam and Cambodia guests will enjoy accommodation in the Park Hyatt Saigon, Vietnam, the Intercontinental Hotel and Resorts Hanoi Westlake, Vietnam and the Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa, Cambodia.
“The latest program showcases Uniworld’s commitment to offering the highest standard in river cruising with these new updates allowing guests to have a holiday of a life time.”
