The new Greece offerings join Uniworld’s existing portfolio of pre- and post-cruise extensions, including land, rail and customizable options.

“Our guests trust us as a leader in luxury travel, so we’re thrilled to bring the magic of Greece to life in partnership with our sister brand at The Travel Corporation, Siva Travel. Our new Greece extensions create the ultimate Mediterranean travel experience combining the iconic destinations of Milan, Venice, Athens and Santorini in one luxurious journey by land and water.”
