Seabourn and Uniworld are joining forces to offer a joint luxury river and ocean cruise, the first collaboration by the cruise lines.
Combining two of their most popular small-ship itineraries, there will be just two sailings in 2026 of Venice and the Mediterranean Sea – a combination of Uniworld’s seven-night ‘Venice and the Jewels of the Veneto’ itinerary onboard S.S. La Venezia and seven nights on Seabourn Quest, sailing the Adriatic and Grecian Gems between Venice and Athens.
The cruise will include the islands of Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello with an exclusive, after-hours, private visit to St Mark’s Basilica and a private wine tasting at Dominico di Baglio, one of the oldest wine estates in Europe.
There is a visit to the dramatic walled town of Kotor, and the Venetian influences and fortress views in Nafplion, one of Greece’s most picturesque ports.
Uniworld says the partnership comes following its customer research that showed 85 percent of its customer base had also experienced ocean cruising, with Seabourn featuring highly as a favoured brand.
Uniworld Managing Director Alice Ager says,“Our agents tell us that they are already combining Mediterranean cruises with our boutique river cruises, so this was a no-brainer of an idea”.
“Seabourn is so similar in its ethos to luxury with understated elegance across their branding, their onboard inclusions and their stunning, intimate ships. We are thrilled to make this partnership official and hope that this is the first of many combo cruises to come.”
Seabourn Senior Sales Director Alex Pikardt says, “It’s a pleasure to be partnering with our friends at Uniworld, a brand whose values, service and product are aligned to our own”.
“This is a beautiful proposition offering the finest river and ocean cruising available in one trip, and I think our agents will love this and I anticipate these first packages will sell really quickly. My team and I are excited for the opportunity to partner with Uniworld.”
Private coach transfers from S.S. La Venezia to embark the Seabourn Quest are included.
There is also the option to add Uniworld’s new three-day extension in Slovenia, including a visit to Lake Bled and Postojna Caves.
The cruise sets sail on 5 July and 30 August 2026.
