Seabourn and Uniworld Unveil Expanded River-and-Sea Cruise Schedule for 2027

In preparation for the 2027 cruising season, luxury cruise lines Seabourn and Uniworld have unveiled a new program for combined river and sea voyages. This initiative aims to explore the beautiful Mediterranean coastal waters while also offering an in-depth navigation of the Venetian Lagoon.

Building on the success of previous combined voyages that featured the ultra-luxury Seabourn Ovation and Uniworld’s riverboat SS La Venezia, this expanded series includes three enhanced itineraries for 2027.

One notable itinerary, "The Wonders of the Adriatic & the Venetian Lagoon," spans 16 days. It begins with a journey from Piraeus aboard Seabourn Ovation, making stops along the picturesque coasts of Croatia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, eventually reaching Fusina near Venice. Passengers will then transfer to SS La Venezia for a river cruise that explores the Venetian waterways, including Burano and Chioggia, granting access to lesser-known locations outside the main city.

Another 16-day route called "The Best of Italy, Croatia & Malta" reverses this order. Passengers will start with the lagoon cruise on SS La Venezia before switching to Seabourn Ovation for coastal exploration, visiting destinations in Croatia, the Greek islands, and southern Italy, including Sorrento.

For those seeking a longer experience, the itinerary "The Best of Italy, Croatia & Malta with Slovenia" extends to 19 days. This includes a 3-night hotel stay in Ljubljana, along with excursions to iconic landmarks like Lake Bled and the Postojna Caves, before embarking on the cruise segments.

This combined program reflects the demand for river and ocean cruising experiences, blending the intimate settings of river navigation with the broader exploration offered by sea voyages. The tailored itineraries utilize the unique capabilities of small ships, providing exclusive access to areas like the Venetian Lagoon—a destination few vessels can navigate.

Reservations for the 2027 river-and-sea cruises aboard Seabourn Ovation and SS La Venezia are now open through Uniworld’s booking channels.
