Boutique River Cruise Collection
 

For over 30 years, Uniworld has taken guests to the world’s great rivers in Europe, Russia, China and Egypt. Uniworld offers over 500 departures on more than 30 itineraries sailing on 12 rivers in 20 countries across 4 continents.

Since 2006, when Uniworld was purchased by Travel Corporation, parent company of Red Carnation Hotels – the award-winning five-star luxury hotel collection – Uniworld has made major investments in its ships and its people. The ultimate goal of these investments—a first-class European river cruise boutique, hotel-style experience. The winning combination of Uniworld’s new sister company’s expertise in first-class hotel management coupled with Uniworld’s decades of superior nautical experience has created a new dimension in river cruising.

Uniworld’s company-owned boutique hotel-style ships
Boutique hotel designers often invest a lot of thought, time and resources into an interior decor reflective of a destination, as well as the amenities that assure an elegant, relaxed and intimate experience. This is apparent on each of Uniworld’s eight company-owned ships! Over the course of the last two years, Uniworld’s ships have been completely refurbished to the highest standard of comfort, so guests travel from one exciting destination to the next with access to stylish lounges, cozy libraries, panoramic restaurants offering sumptuous cuisine and inviting riverview staterooms.

Uniworld’s Partners
Additionally, the company jointly operates one river cruise ship, Douro Queen, in Portugal and river cruise ships, Litvinov and Taras Shevchenko, in Russia and the Ukraine. Ships used in the Egypt program are under charter agreements, and in China, space is booked through an affiliation with the river cruise ships of Victoria Cruises offering five-star ships.

Expect more personalized attention with Uniworld

Exceptional service guaranteed doesn’t just happen; it’s planned. Uniworld has invested in a team of dedicated professionals who work together to ensure guests have a truly memorable experience. With no more than 134 guests per ship and a ratio of one highly-trained crew member for every three guests, Uniworld’s staff is able to anticipate the needs and desires of each guest and offer more personalized attention.

Uniworld employs an all English, professionally trained staff, so there are no language barriers and no problems with understanding what is being said or going on. All announcements are made only in English. Unlike many companies offering river cruise programs in Europe and elsewhere, Uniworld is an American company focused on North American travelers, or at least English-speaking clientele (the trips are popular with Canadians and Australians as well).

Uniworld’s Headquarters
Uniworld’s headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California, and it has an outstanding European operations team who reports directly to our Los Angeles headquarters, which allows us to have complete control over every aspect of product delivery: nautical, hospitality and land. In addition, we have a satellite office in Arnheim, the Netherlands, and a China operation’s team in Beijing. By having operation teams located in these regions, Uniworld is able to react quickly and efficiently to any given challenge and/or emergency.

Your Flight

Airfare and Air Add-ons: Uniworld wants to help make your entire vacation smooth sailing, so we offer great values on airfares from most major cities in the U.S. Availability of the airfare is limited and at the time you purchase your vacation package prices may be higher. Please ask your Action Travel Consultant for the most up-to-date prices. As these airfares are subject to availability we encourage you to book early.

Please note that the "Cruise & Air" prices listed on the individual itinerary pages include airline fuel surcharges. Excluded from the "Cruise & Air" prices are government taxes and fees which vary based on a number of factors (such as origin, destination and routing). They are comprised of the following:

September 11th Security Fee: A September 11th Security Fee of up to $2.50 apples per passenger segment (maximum charge per trip - $5 one way, $10 round trip). A flight segment is defined as one takeoff and one landing.

Passenger Facility Charge: Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) of up to $4.50 per US enplanement (maximum of $18 per itinerary). Airports use PFCs to fund FAA-approved projects that enhance safety or security or reduce noise.

Federal Domestic Flight Segment Fee: A federal domestic flight segment fee of up to $3.30 per passenger per flight segment.

US Customs Fee: $5 is charged to each passenger arriving from outside the U.S. customs territory, excluding Canada, Mexico and U.S. Caribbean.

Air Bookings, Restrictions and Changes: Airline tickets provided by Uniworld are subject to restrictions. All changes to air tickets issued by Uniworld must be processed through Uniworld. A $50 per person administrative fee and applicable airline change fees are assessed for any changes once air tickets have been issued. Airline penalties vary depending on the carrier and can be substantial. In some cases, you may lose the full value of the airfare that you purchased. For security reasons, airlines require that the first & last name on your air ticket appears exactly as it is written in your passport. Uniworld is not responsible for denied boarding or re-issue costs due to an incorrect name supplied to Uniworld. Unless otherwise specified, air transportation is Economy Class on scheduled airlines of our choice. Air carrier selection and routing is at the sole discretion of Uniworld. Though Uniworld makes every effort to use direct routings, your flight schedule may require connections, overnight travel and/or forced overnights en route to or from your final destination, which may be at your expense. Flight itineraries provided prior to ticketing are subject to change without notice. Uniworld is not responsible for any inconvenience or any costs or fees incurred by delays, lost luggage, or disruption of air service. Air transportation is subject to the terms and conditions of the airline’s ticket contract. Since Uniworld is not responsible for notifying you of flight schedule changes before or after the air tickets are issued, we recommend you contact the airline within 72 hours of departure to reconfirm your flights.
