The 2017 edition features six combined “tour and cruise” European itineraries between the brands, including the new 19-day Elegance of England and France option, combining an escorted tour with an all-inclusive river cruise.

Other itineraries include the 15-day Switzerland and the Rhine; 16-day Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Rhine; 17-day Portugal and the Douro; and 15-day Gems of Italy and the River Po.

Head of sales for Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold UK Paul Melinis said: “Our research found 70% of our guests had previously enjoyed a cruise holiday, so it made sense to bring together luxury touring and cruising holidays with the high standards for which Insight Vacations and Uniworld are renowned.”

Each of the trips include either an Insight Vacations Signature Experience or one of Luxury Gold’s Exclusive VIP Events, such as lunch in a Michelin-starred restaurant on the Isle of Capri, as well as Insight’s private door-to-door transfers.

Agents will also be able to make bookings in tandem with Uniworld’s You Deserve The Best offer – which includes economy flights and a complimentary stateroom upgrade on select itineraries and departures – and has been extended until June 30.
