2022 IS YOUR CHANCE TO TRAVEL LONG HAUL AGAIN It’s hard to grasp how much our world has changed in such a short time. While every new cruise year brings about changes, 2021 will be especially different. We have all been forever imprinted with memories of sheltering away from our friends and family, taking extraordinary measures to stay healthy and longing to return to the things we love—like travel. Experiences like this test our strength and our resilience. Through it all, one thing hasn’t changed—our passion for delivering the luxury service you deserve. Our guests are at the heart of everything we do. Our staff is committed to giving you an unparalleled travel experience, both onboard and onshore—one that is not only luxurious and memorable but also protects your health and safety while you are in our trusted hands. As a family-owned, debt-free company, we’re able to weather the most difficult of times without sacrificing our high standards. We have always operated our cruises with stringent safety and sanitation protocols on each and every one of our ships, and we will continue to do so. Annually, our crew renews their health and safety training, a program that has resulted in an immaculate health and safety record. With the support of an outside consultant, we have enhanced our protocols to ensure we protect the health and safety of our guests—and we are committed to doing even more. For those looking to plan their bucket list vacations, we have our full collection of 2022 dates and pricing out for our Exotics programmes. The past year has taught us all to not take time for granted and when the time is right to travel whilst we can. We do have some incredible deals for very late 2021 too if you are looking to travel this year. In some positive news, we are seeing a real interest in guests looking to secure their travel plans for 2022 early. Since launching our 2022 Exotics dates and pricing we have seen some fantastic uptake, people are desperate to travel long haul again when it is safe to do so. Many guests see our exotic cruise destinations at the very top of their bucket list, whether you are looking to re-visit a previous destination or river, or looking to tick off that ultimate long haul cruise 2022 is the best ever time to book with Uniworld.
