2008 capacity still available on Trafalgar Uniworld

Trafalgar Uniworld has announced that it still has space available on a range of itineraries for clients looking to take a river cruise in 2008.

Paul McGrath, managing director of Trafalgar Uniworld said, “There is a common misconception amongst agents at the moment that the river cruise market offerings from Australia have reached full capacity. I am pleased to say that as we own 100 per cent capacity on all our vessels, we still have availability for clients looking for a European river cruise in 08.

“With our research showing that the majority of Australians look to book their European holidays six to nine months in advance, now is the ideal time to be suggesting river cruising to clients.

“This style of holiday suits most travellers, as it is such a different way to explore the sights of Europe and the experience the unique culture and history that has grown around Europe’s river system.

“It gives travellers the opportunity to see many of Europe’s cosmopolitan cities, charming towns, dramatic landscapes and cultural highlights from the comfort and convenience of their floating hotel.

“Trafalgar Uniworld has some fascinating and diverse itineraries on offer, such as the 10-day Douro Valley cruise, a gourmet voyage through Portugal and into Spain. It is the best-kept secret in European river cruising, and offers something unique to those looking for a food, wine and cultural treat.

“Trafalgar Uniworld’s quality of product remains unsurpassed within the Australian marketplace, demonstrated by the recent announcement that Uniworld has been voted 6^th Best Small Ship in the prestigious US Condé Nast Traveler Top 100 Readers’ Choice Awards.

“Trafalgar Uniworld is honoured to receive this recognition by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine. It is testament to the quality product we have established over time, with more than 90 years shared experience between Trafalgar and Uniworld contributing to our product’s exceptional standard today.

“Uniworld’s success in achieving a Top 10 position in this category will, I’m sure, influence Australian agents looking for the ultimate in quality, service and luxury for their clients.”
