DELRAY BEACH, FL, April 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Uniworld
Boutique River Cruise Collection
debuts their newest
destination, India, in January 2016. Uniworld's newest itinerary,
"India's
Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges" takes
guests on a 13-day journey that delves deeply into the spirit of
the country, including seven nights onboard the 56-passenger,
all-suite Ganges Voyager II
and five nights onshore at three award-winning Oberoi Hotels &
Resorts in New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
Guests experience the delicate juxtaposition of New
Delhi, where the ruins of medieval bazaars are scattered
between shopping malls and magnificent museums. No visit to India
would be complete without a tour of the Taj Mahal,
India's most iconic monument of love, and Uniworld guests visit
this marble masterpiece twice - witnessing its majesty at both
sunrise and sunset. Jaipur's sprawling City Palace, Mother
Theresa's tomb and former home in Kolkata, an enormous
Verdic temple in Mayapur, and five UNESCO
sites are just a sampling of the architectural and
spiritually significant marvels Uniworld guests visit on this
captivating and enlightening journey.
"We are incredibly excited about our new India product as well as
our new all-suite luxury ship," said Guy Young, President

each destinations while featuring celebrated five-star hotels and
