In January, Uniworld launched the River Saigon on the Mekong and, due to the increasing popularity of Vietnam and Cambodia, the company will launch another new ship, River Orchid, in this region in 2013. The ships are handcrafted in French colonial style and have 30 staterooms.
“The demand for Vietnam and Cambodia has exceeded our expectations,” said Guy Young, president of Uniworld. “We quickly sold out all of our departures in 2012, and so it made sense for us to add an additional ship along the Mekong.”
In China, Uniworld offers the new Century Legend and Century Paragon, which will have an executive deck and an indoor pool/spa area. Uniworld guests will stay in Uniworld Signature Suites, which will come with VIP benefits.
Couples who book and pay in full at the time of reservation by Sept. 30 can save up to $1,200.
