LOS ANGELES — Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is venturing into Greece for the first time with two new post-cruise extensions.

Available to book now for travel this summer and fall, the new additions include a three-night extension to Athens and a five-night extension to Athens and Santorini, which complement Uniworld’s existing portfolio of pre- and post-cruise extensions, including land, rail and customizable options. Both Greece extensions are available as add-ons to Uniworld’s Italian itineraries: Milan, Venice & The Jewels of Veneto, Venice & The Jewels of Veneto and Cruise & Rail: Venice & The Swiss Alps. 

“Greece has consistently been one of the top searched destinations on our website and although we don’t currently sail in-destination, we want to give our guests the travel experiences they are looking for at the same quality they’d expect from Uniworld,” said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. 

“Our guests trust us as a leader in luxury travel, so we’re thrilled to bring the magic of Greece to life in partnership with our sister brand at The Travel Corporation, Siva Travel. Our new Greece extensions create the ultimate Mediterranean travel experience combining the iconic destinations of Milan, Venice, Athens and Santorini in one luxurious journey by land and water,” added Bettridge.
