THE new youth river cruising
brand from Uniworld Boutique
River Cruise Collection, U by
Uniworld, celebrated its official
Australian launch last week at an
event in Sydney.
A mix of 130 trade, media and
content creators celebrated
the occasion in style at a swish
function at Bar Machiavelli in
Rushcutters Bay.
Guests were able to sample
the destinations the new
brand will visit, by tucking
into a French dessert bar, a
cheese table inspired by the
Netherlands and a pretzel
station representing Germany.
Speaking to Cruise Weekly,
local md of U by Uniworld Fiona
Dalton said the company had
received a lot of interest in
charters, hinting some may be
in the works, in addition to the
Hunter Travel Group charter
revealed last month (CW 17 Aug).
“There’s never been a better
time to consider a charter than
right now because for those
who are keen or courageous to
be an early adopter, they’ll be
rewarded with very competitive
pricing and an opportunity to
be at the forefront of something
that is very new.”
“We may well be having a
very different conversation in
12 months’ time once U by
Uniworld is launched and it’s
popular and we’ve got limited
inventory,” Dalton added.
