Agents can now book a Venice and the Mediterranean Sea package featuring Uniworld’s Venice and the Jewels of the Veneto sailing on La Venezia and a seven-night cruise on Seabourn Quest sailing between Venice and Athens.
The 15-day itinerary will depart on 5 July and 30 August 2026 and will showcase Venice and the Venetian lagoon, including the islands of Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello with included experiences such as an exclusive, after hours VIP visit to St Mark’s Basilica and a sommelier-led private wine pairing at Dominico di Baglio, one of the oldest wine estates in Europe.
Guests will then be transported via private coach to Seabourn Quest, a 20-minute drive away, for their sailing to Athens via Croatia, Montenegro and the Greek islands.
It’s the first time that ultra-luxury brands have combined in this way.
Chris Townson, Uniworld’s UK and Europe managing director, 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. It’s part of Uniworld’s continued strategy to offer ’river cruise and more’, complementing our growing collection of longer, immersive itineraries that include stays in iconic hotels, luxury river cruising and private rail at the very highest level.”
Lynn Narraway, EMEA and UK vice-president at Seabourn, called the package "a fantastic proposition" for agents 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," she added. "We encourage all our partners to embrace this opportunity for 2026, as we anticipate this will sell really quickly."
Phil Nuttall, The Travel Village Group chief executive, added: "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?”
