Expertly Curated Excursions

Immerse you in every destination

Every Uniworld cruise is meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last. We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our included and optional excursions immerse you in the authentic culture, sights, and cuisine of the places you’ll visit.

Let's Go

Our active excursions invite you to appreciate the natural world with invigorating walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, and golfing activities.

Do as the Locals Do

Whether we’re seeking local favorite treats or hopping on public trams to zip around town, these tours capture what it’s like to live in the destinations you visit.

Private Experiences

From visiting a museum without the crowds to an after-hours tour of a famous landmark, these included, once-in-a-lifetime experiences are arranged privately for Uniworld guests.

Village Day

On a Village Day, you’ll select from a few different ways to explore village life, often by diving into a cultural pastime or getting to know someone in town.

The Masterpiece Collection

of add-on experiences

One of the many qualities that set a Uniworld Boutique River Cruise apart is the degree and quality of our all-inclusive amenities. We offer more inclusions—and more luxurious inclusions—than any other river cruise line. Our guests will always find everything they need and more to enjoy a wonderful holiday with Uniworld.

For the guests looking to take their journey one step further, we’ve curated a Masterpiece Collection of optional excursions that go above and beyond our included experiences, available for an additional charge.

Due to the unique nature of Masterpiece Collection experiences, booking and pricing vary by excursion. Some may be booked in advance, while others can only be booked once onboard. Most Masterpiece Collection experiences also have minimum and maximum participation requirements. Please contact our reservations team at 0808 168 9231 for more information about booking specific excursions.

A PASSION FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AND A PENCHANT FOR GIVING BACK

Travel has provided us the chance to give back and lift up others, and we strive to do so whenever possible. We focus on making a positive impact, with a mission to #MakeTravelMatter for people, wildlife and the planet for generations to come. And as a signatory of The Glasgow Declaration that has united several travel companies and organisations to hold each other accountable to vital carbon emissions goals, we’re part of a global effort to make the travel industry better for our planet—not just for our brand.

People: We work with local artisans and small business everywhere we travel, so we can bring you authentic local experiences while also supporting the livelihoods of the people who make these communities special.

Planet: Every year, we find more ways to cut back on our carbon footprint, from committing to eliminate more than 60 types of single-use plastics to reaching Net Zero by 2050.

Wildlife: Partnering with leading wildlife organisations, we work to protect and rehabilitate elephant, rhino and big cat populations around the world, while ensuring that all of our experiences meet strict animal welfare standards. Learn more about our wildlife projects here.

How We Tread Right

MEET OUR SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER

Travel can and should be a force for good, which is why we've introduced an entirely new role to help keep pushing us towards a brighter future.

"What has become blatantly clear for us is that to make progress, we need to ensure that we can measure, and understand our impact. Once we can measure, only then can we manage!"

–Julie Higgins, Sustainability Officer for Uniworld

WE’RE COMMITTED TO NET ZERO BY 2050 OR SOONER
We conduct comprehensive measurements of our emissions in order to reduce and offset our carbon footprint, with the goal of reaching Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. On our way, we’re supplementing our efforts by supporting third parties that remove the existing carbon in the atmosphere.

REDUCING FOOD WASTE ONBOARD
Food waste is one of the largest contributors to climate change, so we’ve partnered with a food waste management company, Leanpath, to reduce our carbon footprint. Their system measures how much food gets discarded after every meal onboard. With the precise measurements it will provide us, our chefs will have the data and confidence necessary to make the perfect amount of each dish. Watch the video below to learn more about how Leanpath works.

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® EXPERIENCES
We offer a selection of included MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences on our cruises. They are chosen for the positive environmental or social impact they have on the guests who experience them, and the people and places they visit, and they support one or more of the United Nation’s Global Goals.

Say Goodbye to Single-Use Plastics
It is estimated that an additional eight million tons of plastic pour into our oceans every year. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, if nothing is done to push back against the deluge of plastics currently overwhelming our oceans there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050.

We're banning more than 60 types of single-use plastics across all operations—including straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. It's all part of our commitment to ensure the environment remains vibrant for generations to come.

For the comfort of all our guests, smoking is only permitted on the sun decks of our ships. Smoking is not permitted on motorcoaches. This policy applies to all forms of smoking materials including vapour e-cigarettes.

We also ask guests to refrain from smoking on shore excursions/tours, especially since many historical sites and other tourist attractions are now smoke-free as well.

Indija, Vijetnam i Kambodža: Za večeri preporučujemo ležernu i ugodnu odjeću; međutim, u blagovaonici je obavezno nošenje obuće u svakom trenutku. Sportski sakoi i koktel haljine nisu potrebni tijekom cijelog trajanja ovog programa.

Većina brodova nudi ili samoposlužnu praonicu rublja (s daskom za glačanje) ili uslugu pranja rublja uz dodatnu naknadu. Za informacije o uslugama koje vaš brod pruža, molimo kontaktirajte info@uniworld.com. Na nijednom brodu nije dostupna usluga kemijskog čišćenja.

Kindly inform us in advance if you have specific dietary requests (e.g., low-fat, low-calorie, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, etc.). This information can be provided to us when completing your Passenger Information Form. We have a “Travelling Lite” menu for guests seeking more health-conscious options, as well as light lunches, vegetarian options, and generous buffets that offer something for everyone. We will do our very best to accommodate your needs given the resources available to us.

In our experience, most young children—especially those under 4—are simply not yet old enough to enjoy river cruising. We make no special arrangements for little ones and offer few kid-friendly activities onboard or onshore. Please note: Our Generations program departures include programs and services designed for families traveling with children. Adults accompanying children are responsible for their safety and behaviour onboard and onshore.

Europe, Asia, India, and Egypt: Guests must be 4 years of age or older. Guests who are less than 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and booked in a cabin with someone who is 21 years of age or older.

Visokokvalitetni, luksuzni sadržaji

Postoji all-inclusive, a zatim postoji i neusporediva razina uključene luksuzne ponude koju pružamo samo mi. Kako bismo osigurali istinski bezbrižno i beznaporno putovanje, uključili smo baš sve—tako da vam preostaje samo da se opustite, uživate i prepustite čaroliji vašeg odmora.

NIKADA NE BUDITE DOSADNI

Naš bogat program na brodu ne ostavlja mjesta za dosadu. Rani jutarnji tipovi uživat će u jutarnjoj yogi. Ljubitelji gastronomije mogu se pridružiti kulinarskim radionicama. A oni željni plesanja do kasno u noć pronaći će lokalnu zabavu u loungeu.

NIKADA SE NE ZADOVOLJAVAJTE MANJIM

Sa svakim pomno odabranim sadržajem, pokazujemo predanost pružanju samo najkvalitetnijih pogodnosti. Svaki trenutak postaje prilika za iznenađenje i užitak.

NIKADA NE BUDITE GLADNI

Uživajte u raskošnim buffet doručcima i ručkovima tijekom dana, a navečer u četverosatnom gurmanskom večernjem meniju. Želite li nešto između obroka? Raspitajte se o 24-satnoj sobnoj usluzi i à la carte jelovnicima.

NIKADA NE BUDITE ŽEDNI

Nikada ograničeni na vrijeme obroka ili happy hour, uživat ćete u vrhunskim vinima, lokalnim pivima i premium žestokim pićima koja slobodno teku tijekom cijelog krstarenja. Naš bar zatvara se tek kad posljednji gost ode na počinak.

Putnici su dužni pri rezervaciji obavijestiti Društvo o svim fizičkim, medicinskim ili posebnim potrebama koje zahtijevaju prilagodbu. Ukoliko nakon rezervacije putnik razvije fizičko ili medicinsko stanje koje zahtijeva prilagodbu, dužan je o tome obavijestiti Društvo.

Društvo može nametnuti zdravstvene i sigurnosne zahtjeve nužne za siguran tijek krstarenja i dobrobit naših putnika i posade. Također, Društvo može isključiti pojedinca iz sudjelovanja u turi ili aktivnosti ako njegovo sudjelovanje predstavlja izravnu prijetnju zdravlju ili sigurnosti. Kako bi se spriječilo širenje zaraznih bolesti, Društvo ili lokalne vlasti mogu zahtijevati izolaciju ili karantenu putnika. Ove mjere neće rezultirati pravom na povrat novca za neiskorištene usluge ili sadržaje.

Društvo s radošću prima putnike sa posebnim potrebama ili invaliditetom, no napominjemo da Društvo ne osigurava osobne medicinske ili mobilne uređaje (kao što su invalidska kolica, slušni aparati ili naočale s dioptrijom) niti usluge osobne prirode (poput guranja invalidskih kolica ili pomoći pri hranjenju, korištenju toaleta ili odijevanju). Putnik kojem su potrebne takve usluge mora biti u pratnji osobe sposobne pružiti potrebnu pomoć.

Društvo ne zapošljava medicinsko osoblje. Svaka potrebna medicinska skrb bit će pružena u lokalnoj ustanovi na trošak putnika. Društvo nije odgovorno za bilo kakve gubitke ili troškove nastale zbog medicinskih usluga dobivenih tijekom ture, niti za kvalitetu pružene skrbi ili usluga.

Putnici trebaju biti svjesni da neke ture uključuju zahtjevni teren, duge šetnje po kaldrmi, neravnim pločnicima, stepenicama i lokacijama koje možda nisu lako pristupačne ili pristupačne invalidskim kolicima. Tijekom ture Društvo može sklopiti dogovore s prijevoznicima, hotelima i drugim neovisnim dobavljačima za pružanje putničkih usluga. Ti subjekti su neovisne jedinice nad kojima Društvo nema kontrolu. Smještaj na međunarodnim turama može se razlikovati od onog u vašoj zemlji. Društvo ne može jamčiti pristupačnost ili prilagodbe za putnike s invaliditetom na međunarodnim turama.

Društvo može, prema vlastitom nahođenju, odbiti rezervaciju bilo kojeg putnika ili ukloniti putnika koji ne može ili odbija poštovati Uvjete i odredbe Društva.

When to go: Vietnam is always warm, so it’s best to plan your travels according to the rain. We only sail our cruises between September and March, avoiding monsoon season entirely. Travel in the fall for the lightest rainfall or in winter for the most moderate temperatures.

How to pack: Bring quick-drying and lightweight clothing, and a bathing suit if you’d like to take advantage of the beautiful sundeck pool aboard the Mekong Jewel. For the evenings, we recommend casual and cool attire. Sport jackets and cocktail dresses are not needed at any time during this program. You will participate in a significant amount of walking over uneven terrain during your time ashore, so we recommend comfortable walking shoes with good ankle support. Sturdy sandals are another good option. Don’t forget to pack a lightweight waterproof jacket, as well as sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and a hat.
