Welcome aboard
Deluxe River Cruising& China Holidays 2013
Uniworld unveils unlimited benefitsn 2014 Uniworld Boutique
River Cruise Collection will
become all-inclusive in Europe,
with fares to include all drinks
and tipping.LUXURY river cruises have long offered "free"
hore excursions, transfers, internet and wine
and beer with meals, but Uniworld is takinghe next step up.
From next year, the company will expand its
complimentary beverages to include spirits,
and fares will also cover all gratuities while
onboard and onshore including pre- and post-
cruise extensions.
John Molinaro, General Manager of Uniworld
Australia, told Cruise Weekly: "When
travelling, Australians often appreciate not
having to continually reach into their pockets
and worry about paying for additional
expenses.Our guests also frequently comment on
how having an all-inclusive holiday that
encompasses beverages, gratuities and shore
excursions packaged up in the one price, adds
to the ease and convenience of their overall
experience.
Molinaro compared the new offering to
high-end luxury ocean cruise lines such as
Crystal, Regent and Silversea.
Uniworld is dedicated to creating the most
premium and hassle-free holiday for our
valued guests, he said.
A company spokesperson confirmed thatmanagement in the Los Angeles office was
still working on the 2014 preview program
and pricing, but said we don't anticipate there
to be a major price increase in next year's
program.
Uniworld's move follows Scenic Tours'
decision last year to introduce all-inclusive
river cruises in Europe in 2013.
APT also includes free drinks on its 'Platinum'
Europe river cruises.

Port Review: Saigon, Vietnamby Cruise Sales Manager, Roger Condon
Eventually, Vietnam captures everyone's travel imagination in one way or another. Numerousoccupations and the recent North/South conflict have turned this beautiful country upside-down, yet it has not dampened the Vietnamese spirit! Only 15 years after the fall of the South
and with the end of the Soviet Union, Vietnam opened its doors to West. Followed by the liftingof the U.S. trade embargo in 1994 this country has changed dramatically. Still politicallycommunist, capitalism has been fully embraced by most. It is in Ho Chi Minh City (renamed fromSaigon almost immediately after the fall of the South) that we see this rush to make money. At6am the roads are grid-locked with bicycles and mopeds and everyone seems to be moving atbreakneck speed towards another day.
Cruises to Vietnam are extremely popular and normally operate between Hong Kong andSingapore or Bangkok. They usually include several Vietnam ports, such as Haiphong (forHanoi), Danang/Chan May (for Hue) and of course, Saigon.
Saigon isn't located right on the sea, but is connected to it by a busy river. Depending on thesize of the ship you select will also determine how close you dock to the city. Small ships get youvery close to the action, just minutes away. Be on deck for the several hours sailing up the riverto Saigon. Some ships offer shuttle services to get you into town, or you can take a 'local' taxi,but first make sure it has four wheels and brakes, and air-conditioning translates into winding
down your window.I suggest you select an itinerary that includes two days here, so you can explore the frenzied
Saigon markets, where you can buy everything from knock-off designer goods, hand-craftedlacquerware, clothing (including the beautiful Ao Dai), and discover the aromas of hundreds ofspices. There are enchanting pagodas and temples, culinary delights and many reminders of theVietnam War. Two days allow you to venture outside of town and visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, givingyour a fascinating insight into Vietnamese ingenuity, or head south to the must-see MekongDelta, where an entirely different life on the water takes place, that of rice, coffee and fish.

2012 Small Ship Shufflesby: Roderick Eime
The small ship, expedition and adventure cruise ship fleet is
continually on the move. Not just on the world's oceans, but between
operators, owners and cruise lines.
Typically a ship is owned by an individual, an investment group or an
instrumentality, like the Russian oceanographic ships, and managed
by a specialist organisation like International Shipping Partners (ISP)
in Miami. Ships are then chartered or leased to a cruise line that will
sail it under their brand. Expedition ships, in particular, are a
promiscuous variety, hopping from one line to another with new a
persona as circumstances change.
Here is a short summary of some of the better known expedition
ship movements over the last 12 months.
Corinthian II (one of the eight Renaissance class ships, R7) will
conclude eight faithful years with US operator, Travel Dynamics, and
be renamed Sea Explorer. She will begin with newbie operator Polar
Latitudes in March 2013.
Orion II, once Clelia II (another Renaissance class ship, R4) after a
shortened stint with Orion Expedition Cruises, is being returned to
Travel Dynamics as Corinthian. She's had a tough life.
Hebridean Spirit(R6) became Caledonian Skyafter Australian APT
took a strategic stake in high-end adventure company, Noble
Caledonia. She's heading to the Kimberley for the 2013 season (CW
02 Oct 12).
Sea Spirit(R5), once Spirit of Oceanus when with failed US cruise
line, Cruise West, returns to Quark after a 2012 northern summer
season with Dutch line, Oceanwide Expeditions.
Ocean Diamondleft service with Ponant Cruises at the end of 2011
where she sailed as Le Diamant. Quark will return her to service
beginning this Antarctic season. Built in 1974 as a cargo ship, she was
Lyubov Orlova Andrea Ponant Diamant
converted for cruising in 1986 and is nearing the end of her service
life.
Clipper Adventurer, an elegant and trusted vessel, if somewhat long
in the tooth, became Sea Adventurerin 2012 and will sail for Quark
and Zegrahm in 2013. Built in 1975 in the former Yugoslavia, she is a
twin of the Lyubov Orlova (sometimes unkindly referred to as 'lube oil
all over') which, after languishing for many months under arrest in
Nova Scotia, now seems destined for the breakers.
MS Andrea, a delightful little 1960-built former Hurtigruten coastal
vessel (Harald Jarl) seemed doomed when her US owners went bust
in 2008. Increasingly strict regulations made the cosy cruiser a
liability, but it seems she will return to service this year under new
Russian owners as MS Serenissima. Find her itineraries with Noble
Caledonia.
Akademik Sergey Vavilov, one of the most trusted and well-travelled
ice-strengthened oceanographic vessels joins Andrew Prossin's One
Ocean Expeditions this year after stalwart service with Quark. This
writer completed his first expedition cruise in 1998 aboard this vessel
while with Quark. The sister ship,Akademik Ioffe, began operations
with OOE in 2010.
Le Levantdeparts Ponant Cruises after entering service with the
French-flagged line from new in 1998. The sleek 90-passenger luxury
vessel will be operated from this year by Paul Gauguin Cruises in
French Polynesia after a comprehensive refit and overhaul.
Marina Svetaeva, the sturdy 1989-built Arctic ferry, bought by
Aurora Expeditions founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer in 2008
soon became a burden. After sale to Dutch line, Oceanwide
Expeditons, it became Ortelius and just completed its first year of
service with new owners.
