Speaking at an event on Thursday (21 November), UK and Ireland managing director Chris Townson said rivers like the Ganges in India, the Mekong and the Peruvian Amazon were proving increasingly popular among British customers.
"I’ve never seen anything like it in terms of trading, and I’ve been in travel for a good few years,” he said.
Townson said Uniworld’s Ganges sailings early next year were almost sold out, with only about 20% availability for the rest of the year. He highlighted similar demand for Mekong and Amazon sailings.
