WELCOME TO PORTUGAL
    After a year of quarantining, isolating, lockdowns and red lists; I
    am so thrilled to finally announce that travel is officially back. A
    destination which so many British travellers are visiting is of course
    Portugal, home to breathtaking views and unforgettale scenery.

    If the past year has taught us anything, it’s the memories and
    experiences of spending time with loved ones we have missed the
    most. For myself - and I’m sure for most of you - staying home for
    so long has been a poignant reminder of just how important the gift
    of travel is and that it must not be taken for granted. As the world
    opens again, I encourage you to appreciate that gift to the fullest
    on grand new adventures.

    We know that your next holiday is going to be extra special, so
    we want to assure you that with us, and our sister brand Insight
    Vacations, you can book with confidence knowing that it will be a
    holiday to remember. With our Douro River Valley itineraries sailing
    once again, we are so thrilled to be back in such a stunning country
    once again. What a destination to mark your return to travel, home
    to breath-taking views, unforgettable experiences and of course the
    best kept secret in river cruising; the stunning Douro Valley. Your
    first step back into the world is a journey you will never forget, so
    why settle for anything less than the best.

    It seems rather fitting that the reopening of travel aligns with the
    launch of the Douro’s newest and most luxurious ship, Super Ship,
    the S.S São Gabriel, making our first sailing in over a year an extra
    special experience. If a river cruise is not what you are looking for
    on your return to travel, we have teamed up with our sister brand,

    Insight Vacations, to bring to you the most immersive premium
    tour of Portugal. A touring holiday is perfectly suited to today’s
    world - Insight Vacations take care of absolutely everything, so
    you can simply relax and enjoy every moment of your holiday in
    style. Discover more than just the sights on their Country Roads of
    Portugal tour on pages 24-25 - the magic begins here!

    From the whole team at Uniworld, Insight Vacations and also the
    Portuguese Tourism Board, we are so grateful to be back on the
    world’s rivers with you once again.

                        Warmest regards,

                        Ellen Bettridge

WELCOME TO THE
    DOURO RIVER VALLEY
    - the Best Kept Secret
    in River Cruising
    A Unesco World Heritage site since
    2001, the dramatic landscapes of
    the Douro River Valley is a must-
    see for any traveller. Despite being
    one of the oldest demarcated wine
    regions in the world, the Douro
    River Valley is one of Europe’s best
    kept secrets. As you cruise through
    the very heart of the valley you are
    surrounded by steeply terraced
    hillsides, quaint villages and acres
    of ripe vineyards. No visit to
    the Douro River Valley would be
    complete without private tastings
    of the region’s main produce, and
    namesake, Port.

What does luxury

     MEAN TO YOU
     The word luxury means different things to
     different people. As you would expect
     with five-star hotels on land, there are
     different levels of luxury available to
     guests. As we see it, would you choose to
     stay in a chain hotel where you can find the
     same layout no matter where you are in
     the world, or would you choose to stay in a
     boutique luxury hotel offering an incredible
     new experience?

     Uniworld are an incredibly unique river
     cruise line. We have taken our inspiration
     from our sister brand, the Red Carnation
     Hotel Collection (renowned for some of the
     finest hotels in the world), making us the
     only river cruise line to operate a collection
     of luxury hotels. This means luxury is
     deep-rooted in our DNA, and we pride
     ourselves on being known as the most
     luxurious river cruise line in the world.

     What is a

     LUXURY RIVER CRUISE?
     A luxury river cruise offers an entirely
     new insight into the world, unpack only
     once and discover multiple destinations
     throughout your journey. Imagine yourself
     slowly making your way through great                        S.S. Bon Voyage Suite
     cities and countryside on board your
     award winning, floating luxury hotel. Unlike
     an ocean cruise where you may have
     multiple sea days, a river cruise allows
     you to make your way through the heart of
     countries, passing breath-taking scenery
     with every bend. Truly immerse yourself
     in local culture as our smaller ships allow
     you to dock in the very heart of the world’s
     greatest cities, meaning you can be on
     shore quickly to discover the destination
                                                      Immerse yourself in local culture
     for yourself.

2021 Freedom to Travel Sale offer is valid for new, individual bookings on select 2021 itineraries and departure dates only. Offer is not applicable to suites. Bookings
must be made between 9 July 2021 and 31 August 2021. Offer requires full payment at time of booking. 2021 Freedom to Travel Sale applies to full-fare bookings only.
All fares and savings listed are in GBP. Savings featured are for cruise/tour itineraries only, per person based on double occupancy, and do not apply to airfare or other
optional vacation add-ons. Although flights for all UK departures are included with 2021 Uniworld bookings made in the UK, due to uncertainty from airlines there is
a possibility that you may be required to pay new supplement fees in addition to the price displayed on our website. Rates and savings vary by itinerary and departure
date. Offer is not combinable with any other promotional offer, program or price protection credits except River Heritage Club savings/benefits. All applicable discounts
are applied sequentially; fixed savings amounts are deducted prior to applying any percentage-based discounts. Offer is capacity controlled and may be modified or
withdrawn at any time. Other restrictions may apply. Offer expires 31 August 2021.
