Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s repeat clients have helped drive bookings in 2020 for the luxury cruise company, says Global CEO Ellen Bettridge.

Uniworld has confirmed it has abandoned a dedicated 2019 French river cruise season on the Seine for U by Uniworld, with The B instead repositioning to operate in Central Europe in 2020.

Luxury river cruise operator, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, has wound up the 2018 season achieving an all-time high number of guests on board its ships. Sales from the Australian market have grown by double-digits again, says Managing Director for Australia, Fiona Dalton, and the 2019 season is looking strong.

Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection is now offering agents the ability to waitlist clients on booked out sailings. The new functionality comes as the luxury cruise line unveiled a range of technology enhancements to its “River Currents” travel advisor booking tool.
