Seabourn and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises have partnered up to offer what they call a ‘global first’ luxury river and ocean cruise package.
The two luxury lines have put together a 15-day ‘Venice and the Mediterranean Sea’ package, with departures on 5 July and 30 August 2026.
The trip includes a week on Uniworld’s La Venezia exploring Venice and the Venetian lagoon, followed by seven nights on Seabourn Quest sailing the ‘Adriatic and Grecian Gems’ itinerary between Venice and Athens.
The partnership comes following a Uniworld survey that showed 85% of its customers had also experienced ocean cruising, with Seabourn featuring highly as a preferred brand.
Uniworld MD for the UK and Europe Chris Townson said: “Bringing together river and ocean cruise is a global first for the luxury cruise space, and we are beyond excited to be delivering this new opportunity to guests and agents. Our research told us that there is lots of crossover between Uniworld and Seabourn guests, so it makes absolute sense for us to deliver a package that offers the best of both worlds. Now they can enjoy the exceptional service, beautifully intimate ships and enriching travel experiences that both brands offer in one seamless trip.”
Seabourn Vice President for UK and EMEA Lynn Narraway added: “It’s a real pleasure to be partnering with our friends at Uniworld, a brand whose values, service and product are so aligned to our own. This is a such a fantastic proposition for travel partners and their clients. We’re offering the finest river and ocean cruising available in one trip, fully commissionable, inclusive of flights and with assets and bespoke collateral that will really help agents to sell it. We encourage all our partners to embrace this opportunity for 2026, as we anticipate this will sell really quickly!”
The Travel Village Group CEO Phil Nuttall welcomed the partnership. He said: “I am very excited about this collaboration between Uniworld and Seabourn. If ever there was a perfect fit to compliment Seabourn’s boutique cruising out of Venice, this is it. Who wouldn’t want to spend the week before their beautiful Seabourn Adriatic cruise on a six-star floating hotel sailing around the Venetian Lagoon, being pampered with unique, money-can’t-buy experiences, all just a short distance from your luxurious home away from home on the Super Ship La Venezia?”
The package is on sale up to 31 October 2025 and can be booked through Uniworld’s reservations team. Prices start from £6,499 per person. There is also the option to add Uniworld’s three-day extension in Slovenia to the itinerary.
