Johannesburg - “With the cost of airfares rising every year it makes sense to make the most of your travels by extending your cruise either before or after the ship sets sail,” says Jolene Campbell, brand manager for Uniworld Boutique River Cruises.
On the Burgundy & Provence, A Portrait of Majestic France or the Grand France cruises that begin or end in Avignon, guests can opt to spend three days in Aix en Provence before or after their chosen cruise.
This extension is priced from R10 400 and includes two nights’ four-star hotel accommodation with breakfast daily, a walking tour of the region with an English speaking expert, all transfers, service charges, taxes and porterage.
Prague is an exceptionally beautiful city and a must-see if you’re travelling in Eastern Europe, but it doesn’t lie on a river that Uniworld cruises on.
To give travellers the option to experience this enchanting European capital, Uniworld has a three-night land extension for cruises that begin or end in Vienna, Nuremburg and Passau.
Priced from R11 000 per person, this four-day extension includes five-star hotel accommodation with breakfast daily, a Prague city tour, an English speaking expert, all transfers, service charges, taxes and porterage.
To see and experience even more of the Baltics, Uniworld recommends a six-night Baltic extension that takes in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and gives travellers access to cities like Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius with wonderful city tours and comfortable accommodation.
Imperial Waterways of Russia is the Uniworld cruise that is perfect for this extension which is priced from R27 400 per person sharing.
