Călătoria ne-a oferit oportunitatea de a dărui și de a susține comunitățile locale, iar ne străduim să facem acest lucru ori de câte ori este posibil. Ne concentrăm pe crearea unui impact pozitiv, având misiunea de a #FaceCălătoriaSăConteze pentru oameni, faună sălbatică și planetă, pentru generațiile viitoare. Ca semnatari ai Declarației de la Glasgow, care a reunit mai multe companii și organizații din domeniul turismului pentru a se responsabiliza reciproc în atingerea obiectivelor esențiale privind emisiile de carbon, facem parte dintr-un efort global de a transforma industria turismului într-una mai prietenoasă cu planeta – nu doar pentru brandul nostru.

Oameni
Colaborăm cu artizani locali și întreprinderi mici oriunde călătorim, pentru a vă oferi experiențe autentice, în timp ce sprijinim mijloacele de trai ale celor care fac aceste comunități cu adevărat speciale.

Planetă
În fiecare an, găsim noi modalități de a reduce amprenta noastră de carbon, de la angajamentul de a elimina peste 60 de tipuri de plastic de unică folosință, până la atingerea neutralității emisiilor de carbon până în 2050.

Faună sălbatică
În parteneriat cu organizații de top dedicate protecției faunei sălbatice, lucrăm pentru a proteja și reabilita populațiile de elefanți, rinoceri și feline mari din întreaga lume, asigurând în același timp că toate experiențele noastre respectă standarde stricte de bunăstare animală. Aflați mai multe despre proiectele noastre dedicate faunei sălbatice aici.

CUM PĂȘIM CORECT

Ne Angajăm să Atingem Neutralitatea Carbonului Până în 2050 sau Mai Devreme
Realizăm măsurători cuprinzătoare ale emisiilor noastre pentru a reduce și compensa amprenta de carbon, având ca obiectiv atingerea neutralității emisiilor de carbon până în 2050. Pe parcurs, suplimentăm eforturile noastre prin susținerea unor terțe părți care elimină carbonul deja existent în atmosferă.

Reducerea Risipei Alimentare la Bord
Risipa alimentară este unul dintre cei mai mari contribuitori la schimbările climatice, astfel că am încheiat un parteneriat cu Leanpath, o companie specializată în gestionarea risipei alimentare, pentru a diminua amprenta noastră de carbon. Sistemul lor măsoară cantitatea de mâncare aruncată după fiecare masă la bord. Cu aceste măsurători precise, bucătarii noștri vor avea datele și încrederea necesare pentru a pregăti cantitatea perfectă din fiecare preparat. Vizionați videoclipul de mai jos pentru a afla mai multe despre modul în care funcționează Leanpath.

Experiențe Make Travel Matter®
Oferim o selecție de experiențe MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® incluse în croazierele noastre. Acestea sunt alese pentru impactul lor pozitiv asupra mediului sau societății, atât pentru oaspeții care le trăiesc, cât și pentru oamenii și locurile vizitate, susținând unul sau mai multe dintre Obiectivele Globale ale Națiunilor Unite.

Angajamentul Make Travel Matter®
Am colaborat cu TreadRight și The Travel Corporation pentru a lansa Angajamentul MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®. Angajații Uniworld, alături de cei 10.000 de colegi din 42 de branduri de turism din întreaga lume, au fost invitați să semneze acest angajament pentru a face ca fiecare călătorie să conteze și pentru a proteja oamenii, planeta și fauna sălbatică. Ca călători, furnizori de servicii turistice și membri ai industriei globale de turism, acest angajament reprezintă următorul pas în angajamentul nostru de lungă durată pentru turism durabil și călătorii conștiente.

Spuneți Adio Plasticului de Unică Folosință
Se estimează că opt milioane de tone suplimentare de plastic ajung în oceanele noastre în fiecare an. Potrivit unui raport al Forumului Economic Mondial, dacă nu se iau măsuri pentru a combate avalanșa de plastic care copleșește oceanele, până în 2050 ar putea exista mai mult plastic în oceane decât pești.

Interzicem peste 60 de tipuri de plastic de unică folosință în toate operațiunile noastre – inclusiv paiuri, sticle de apă și pungi de plastic. Totul face parte din angajamentul nostru de a păstra mediul înconjurător vibrant pentru generațiile viitoare.

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 “Traveling 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 behavior 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.

Peru: Guests must be 7 years of age or older. Guests under 21 must be booked in a cabin with someone who is 25 years of age or older, or traveling with a parent or guardian who is booked in a connecting suite. Some excursions may not be suitable for young children.

India, Vietnam și Cambodgia: Pentru serile petrecute la bord, recomandăm o ținută casual și răcoroasă; totuși, este obligatoriu să purtați încălțăminte în orice moment în sala de mese. Sacourile sport și rochiile de cocktail nu sunt necesare în nicio etapă a acestui program.

Majoritatea navelor oferă fie o spălătorie self-service (dotată cu masă de călcat), fie servicii de curățătorie contra unei taxe suplimentare. Vă rugăm să contactați info@uniworld.com pentru a afla ce servicii sunt disponibile pe nava dumneavoastră. Nu există servicii de curățare chimică pe niciuna dintre nave.

Select ships offer complimentary Wi-Fi access. Please email us at info@uniworld.com to find out if Wi-Fi is available onboard. Service may be briefly interrupted in remote areas, while sailing, or when moving through locks, and the speed will likely be slower than what you are used to back home.

High quality, luxurious amenities

There’s all-inclusive, and then there’s the unmatched level of inclusive luxurious amenities that only we provide. To ensure truly carefree and effortless travel, we’ve gone ahead and included it all—so the only thing you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your holiday.

NEVER BE BORED

Our onboard programming leaves nary a dull moment. Early risers will appreciate morning yoga sessions. Foodies may want to join a cooking demo. And those looking to dance the night away will find local entertainment in the lounge.

NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS

With every carefully selected inclusion, you'll find that we are committed to providing only the highest quality amenities. This makes every moment an opportunity for surprise and delight.

NEVER GO HUNGRY

Enjoy sumptuous buffet breakfasts and lunches during the day, then a four-course gourmet dinner in the evening. Craving a bite in between? Inquire about 24-hour room service and å la carte menus.

NEVER BE THIRSTY

Never restricted to mealtimes or happy hours, you'll find that fine wines, local beers, and premium spirits flow freely throughout the cruise. Our bar closes when the last guest turns in for the evening.

Passengers are required to advise the Company at time of booking of any physical, medical, or other special needs that require accommodation. After the time of booking, should a Passenger develop a physical or medical condition that requires accommodation, the Passenger is required to advise the Company.

The Company may impose health and safety requirements necessary for the safe operation of the cruise-tour, and for the wellbeing of our Passengers and crew. The Company may also exclude an individual from participating in a tour or activity if that individual’s participation poses a direct threat to health or safety. To stop the spread of contagious illnesses, the Company or local authorities may require the isolation or quarantine of Passengers. These measures will not result in the eligibility for a refund of unused features or services.

The Company welcomes Passengers with special needs or disabilities, however please note that the Company does not provide personal medical or mobility devices (such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or prescription eye glasses) or services of a personal nature (such as pushing a wheelchair or assistance in eating, toileting, or dressing). A companion capable of providing such assistance must accompany any Passenger who requires services of a personal nature.

The Company does not employ medical personnel. Any necessary medical attention will be provided by a local facility at the passenger’s expense. The Company is not responsible or liable for any losses or costs incurred as a result of medical services obtained while on tour, or for the quality of the care or services received.

Passengers should be aware some tours include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, stairs, and locations which may not be easily accessible or accessible by wheelchair. During the tour, the Company may make arrangements with carriers, hotels, and other independent suppliers to provide travel services. These parties are independent entities over which the Company has no control. Accommodations on international tours may differ from those in your home country. The Company cannot guarantee disability access or accommodations for passengers travelling on international tours.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decline the booking of any passenger or remove any passenger who cannot comply or refuses to comply with Company’s Terms and Conditions.

Airport/Ship Transfers for Uniworld Programs

If you purchase a Uniworld Air-Inclusive Vacation, you enjoy the special included convenience of scheduled group transfers between the airport and the ship/hotel on the day the cruise or cruise/tour begins, and between the ship/hotel and the airport on the day the cruise or cruise/tour ends, when air booked falls within our transfer guidelines. There may be a waiting period between transfers of two hours or more unless private car transfers have been purchased. Private car transfers are only available on the cruise or cruise/tour start/end dates and are only available for transportation between designated airports and the ship, for up to two guests per car. If your flight arrangements arrive/depart outside of these parameters, you must make your own transfer arrangements.

Please note: Due to airport restrictions, group transfer motor coaches may not be allowed to park in front of every terminal to pick up guests. The airport-designated area for motor coaches can be a walking distance of 10-30 minutes from the terminal, depending on the airport. Our airport representatives have limited ability to carry luggage or assist guests who have mobility limitations. Therefore, guests who want or need assistance are advised to consider booking our private transfers, as most airports allow private cars to stop in front of each terminal exit.

Making Your Own Flight Arrangements: Should you elect to make your own flight arrangements, Uniworld will provide complimentary scheduled group transfers to/from the ship/hotel as long as your flights arrive/depart in the cruise/tour starting/ending cities in accordance with the dates shown in this brochure and your flight arrangements comply with the Transfer Guidelines as shown below. If your flight arrangements arrive/depart outside of these parameters, you must make your own transfer arrangements. Uniworld will not be responsible for missed transfers due to delayed or cancelled flights, or for missed cruise/trip days, or for extra costs resulting from the foregoing. To qualify for transfers, it is required that flight information and pre-trip arrangements for all passengers making their own flight arrangements be given to Uniworld no later than forty-five (45) days prior to departure and must conform to the Transfer Guidelines below:

Behind everything we do is a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences through dedicated and personalized service. Everyone is considered family onboard a Uniworld ship, which is why our guests can always expect to relax and enjoy themselves free of any concerns. Read on to learn about the steps we’ve taken in support of our LGBTQ+ guests.
