Uniworld's 'Rivers of the World' a three-continent, four-ship odyssey

Open to 68 travelers, the trip spans three continents, 10 countries and four Uniworld Super Ships.

The second annual 'Rivers of the World' is back by popular demand, according to Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO, Uniworld, who said customers are planning to travel more and seek longer trips that can cross off bucket destinations in one journey. The 2024 iteration will provide a longer, farther-reaching itinerary.

Begins in the Peruvian Amazon

It  begins in the Peruvian Amazon with a celebratory beach kick-off party and land stay at the renowned Country Club Lima Hotel, followed by a weeklong cruise aboard one of the two river vessels, Aria Amazon or Aqua Nera. Participants will continue with a land stay at the Tambo del Inka Hotel in the Sacred Valley to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Two exclusive hotel stays will complete the South America portion of the trip: Belmond’s Hotel del Cataratas to visit Iguazu Falls from both the Argennian and Brazilian sides and a night at the Belmond Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro.
