Uniworld River Tosca Takes Inaugural Nile River Cruise in September 2009
Monday July 13, 2009
Uniworld will launch the River Tosca along Egypt's historic Nile River in September,
and the cruise line is offering good discounts on 2009 and 2010 Nile River cruises for those who book by July 31. The River Tosca will join the
River Beatrice, which took her maiden voyage along the Danube in March this year, as Uniworld's second new ship of 2009.
River Tosca, an all-suite ship, has been decorated by the design team from the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, Uniworld's sister company. The River Tosca's interior will be decorated with the same touches created for the Red Carnation Hotels and all of Uniworld's nine river ships.

In 1972, UNESCO adopted an international treaty to encourage the identification, protection, and preservation of cultural and natural heritage sites around the world.
Since then, 890 sites have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including 689 cultural sites, 176 natural sites, and 25 mixed site properties in 148 countries.
Cruise travelers are lucky, because many of these locations can be easily visited on shore excursions or as part of an extended cruise tour. The About.com Guides in our travel channel have some excellent information and photos of many of the UNESCO sites. How many have you visited?
