Uniworld Elevates Luxury River Cruising in Asia
with All-Suite Ships and Five-Star Hotels

Vive La France—Uniworld Announces New Super Ship,
Joie de Vivre, in France

Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection (www.uniworld.com), the world’s
authentic boutique cruise line, recently released their 2017 Asia Cruises and
Tours in India, China, Cambodia and Vietnam. The collection features five
expertly crafted itineraries designed to take travelers on epic journeys through
these exotic lands. Must-see treasures—India’s Taj Mahal, China’s Great Wall
and Cambodia’s Angkor Wat—as well as hidden gems that only the rivers can
reveal come to life in small group excursions led by expert guides. Exploring
ancient wonders by day and enjoying unsurpassed luxury at night, onboard elegantly appointed all-suite ships with exclusive VIP benefits and onshore at fivestar hotels, ensures traveling with Uniworld is the ultimate way to experience
Asia.

In early 2017, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection will introduce their
new masterpiece, the one-of-a-kind Super Ship, S.S. Joie de Vivre, sailing along
France’s historic Seine River.

“When people travel with Uniworld, they can be assured a seamless luxury experience from land to river,” said Guy Young, president of Uniworld. “We made the
decision for 2017 to use only all-suite ships in Asia. In Vietnam and Cambodia,
we’re introducing the all-suite Mekong Navigator; in China, we are providing
magnificent Executive Suites on the Century Legend; and in India, we’re sailing
the newly inaugurated all-suite Ganges Voyager II. Each ship offers the highest
standards of excellence in these regions.”
Uniworld’s 15-day “Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong”
presents a deep exploration of two worlds joined by one river. Uniworld will introduce the 68-passenger, all-suite Mekong Navigator in 2017. Fashioned in the
spirit of the French Colonial-era manor homes that once lined the streets of Old
Saigon, this is the most luxurious ship sailing the Mekong. Accommodations
onshore include the Park Hyatt Saigon and the Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa,
Siem Reap. Uncover the tale of these two countries starting in Vietnam’s Ho Chi
Minh City, capital of the past, and ending in Hanoi, capital of the present. In
between these two iconic cities lies Cambodia’s Phnom Penh and Siem Reap—
gateway to the UNESCO-designated Angkor Wat—along with an abundance of
authentic and immersive encounters with locals.
