Seabourn and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises jointly announced a new partnership that enables them to offer a trip combining two of their most popular small-ship itineraries.

Consumers and agents will now be able to book Venice and the Mediterranean Sea, a 2026 package that brings together Uniworld’s immersive Venice and the Jewels of the Veneto cruise aboard the unique Super Ship La Venezia, with seven nights on board the exquisite Seabourn Quest sailing the Adriatic and Grecian Gems between Venice and Athens.

This groundbreaking collaboration marks the first time ultra-luxury river and ocean cruise brands have partnered to provide two distinct yet complementary cruises in one package.

Both ships offer refined all-inclusive luxury, highly personalized service, elegantly designed surroundings, and engaging onboard entertainment, for which both companies are well-regarded.

Following customer research commissioned by Uniworld indicating that 85% of their clients had also experienced ocean cruising, with Seabourn being a popular choice, this package was conceived.

A suite of resources will be made available to travel agents, including a digital brochure and a video blog from the Posh Travel Blog, vividly detailing both experiences.

A storied first for both brands
Uniworld’s managing director for the UK and Europe, Chris Townson, stated: “Bringing together river and ocean cruises is a global first in the luxury cruise sector, and we are thrilled to offer this new chance to guests and agents. Our research indicated significant crossover between Uniworld and Seabourn guests, making it logical to create a package that provides the best of both worlds. Guests can now enjoy exceptional service, intimate ships, and enriching travel experiences seamlessly.”

Seabourn vice-president for the UK and EMEA, Lynn Narraway, added: “Partnering with Uniworld, a brand whose values and services align closely with ours, is a delight. We are offering the finest river and ocean cruising together in one trip, fully commissionable, including flights and tailored resources to help agents promote it effectively. We encourage all our partners to seize this opportunity for 2026, as we anticipate this will be popular.”

Mark your calendars
The 15-day itinerary is available on two dates in 2026: July 5th and August 30th. It will highlight the stunning charm of Venice and the Venetian lagoon, featuring the colorful islands of Burano, Mazzorbo, and Torcello, including exclusive experiences like a VIP visit to St Mark’s Basilica and a private wine pairing at one of Europe’s oldest wine estates.

Guests will then be transported by private coach to Seabourn Quest for their journey to Athens, with highlights across Croatia, Montenegro, and the Greek Islands.

There is an option to extend the trip with a new three-day extension in Slovenia, staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Ljubljana, visiting iconic Lake Bled, the spectacular Postojna Caves, and receiving a private tour at a local bee farm.
