All applicable discounts are applied sequentially. Fixed savings amounts are deducted prior to applying any percentage-based discounts. Availability of all stateroom categories cannot be guaranteed. Additional restrictions may apply. If you have purchased your transatlantic or transpacific air with Uniworld and/or you have purchased a cruise/tour package with Uniworld that includes air, your entire package price will be guaranteed at time of payment.

Reservations and Payments:

All payments must be in U.S. dollars.

All fares are per guest in US dollars based on double occupancy unless otherwise noted. Fares are capacity controlled and are subject to change at any time without notice. All applicable discounts are applied sequentially. Fixed savings amounts are deducted prior to applying any percentage-based discounts. Availability of all stateroom categories cannot be guaranteed.

If you have purchased your transatlantic or transpacific air with Uniworld and you have purchased a package that includes air, your entire package price will be guaranteed at time of payment.

A deposit of at least 10% of the fare, less applicable discounts, is required within 48 hours of booking. Promotional offers may specify different payment terms. Final payment is due 120 days prior to start date, unless otherwise stated. For reservations made within 120 days of departure, full payment is required at the time of booking.

Please note that reservations may be cancelled if payments are not received in a timely manner.

For guests booking air travel with Uniworld, a non-refundable airfare deposit of $450 per person is required at the time of booking. Once this deposit is received, your airfare, taxes, and fuel surcharges are considered final. You may cancel your air arrangements within 24 hours of booking to receive a full refund of the airfare deposit—or the total amount paid for air if payment was made in full at the time of booking.

Items Not Included in the Published Price: Unless specifically listed in the itinerary overview for each program or the Extensions tab, the published price does not include airfare (unless stated), airport or departure taxes, excess baggage, seat assignments, passports, visas, vaccinations, optional or additional excursions, meals or beverages not detailed in the itinerary, items not on regular menus, laundry, phone or internet charges, personal or medical expenses, travel protection plans, or any services or transfers not expressly listed. Any gratuities not included in your itinerary remain at the guest’s discretion.

Cancellation Policy: We hope nothing will come between you and your Uniworld vacation.

Cancellation fees are assessed per person and are in addition to any penalties that may be imposed by airlines, travel advisors, or other third parties. There are no refunds for unused services or for any unused portion of your trip.

If a guest traveling as part of a booking cancels and the cancellation results in a change to the room configuration (for example, from double to single occupancy), the remaining guest is responsible for any additional costs associated with the revised room type.

Guests who do not show up for their scheduled departure for any reason are subject to a 100% cancellation penalty, applicable to all products.

If you purchased a Uniworld Travel Protection Plan, you may cancel your plan and receive a full refund of the plan cost during the 10-day “free look” period, provided that all of the following are true:

You are within 10 days of purchasing the plan
You have not yet started your trip
You have not filed a claim

Air Cancellation Terms: If you, as the Passenger, cancel your air arrangements within 24 hours of booking, you will receive a full refund of all amounts paid for airfare.

After the initial 24-hour period:

If you cancel your air 120 days or more prior to departure, the air deposit of $450 per person becomes non-refundable.
If you cancel your air 119 days or less prior to departure, the full cost of the airfare is non-refundable.

Guest names must match their valid passport or other government-issued identification; name changes may incur fees and, after ticketing, may require cancellation and rebooking in accordance with airline specifications.

Deposit Protection program: Deposit protection program allows you to change your plans and cancel your booking one hundred and twenty (120) days or more prior to your Program start date. The credit will be applied as a discount towards your new booking and is valid for up to two (2) years from the date of cancellation. This credit is non-transferable, has no cash value, and may not be used toward a deposit or insurance payment for a future booking. Only one credit per person may be applied to each booking and it is combinable with all current Uniworld promotions. Credit amount is based on the cancellation charge at 120 days or more, as shown in our Cancellation Table. Not applicable to Purchased Air.

Revision Fee: A fee of $50 per person, per transaction, will be charged for any revision made to the reservation unless the change increases the value of the booking. A passenger name change and cruise/tour date change will be treated as a cancellation subject to our cancellation policy, and a new reservation must be made. Any revision to a booking may result in the loss of a confirmed airline reservation, Uniworld change fees (refer to the Air Travel change fees section for details), increased airfare, and any charges levied by the airlines, which will be payable by the passenger.

Inclusions: Inclusions vary by product, itinerary, and any optional Extensions or land elements purchased. Your booking includes only those items expressly listed in the itinerary overview for each program, and, if applicable, the inclusions listed under the Extensions tab for any Extension or extra night added to your reservation.

Arrival and departure transfers are included when airfare is purchased through Uniworld in conjunction with your itinerary and the flights fall within the transfer guidelines detailed on our Arrivals, Departures & Transfers page.

Air Travel Terms: Air transportation purchased through Uniworld is arranged solely as an additional service under Uniworld’s governing contract. All air reservations are subject to these Terms and the applicable airline’s conditions of carriage. In the event of a conflict, these Terms shall prevail. TSA regulations require us to collect your full first, middle, and last names as they appear on your passport or government-issued ID, as well as date of birth and gender. This information is required before we can book your air. Uniworld is not responsible for denied boarding or reissue costs due to an incorrect name, date of birth, or gender information supplied to Uniworld.

A separate air deposit of $450 per person is required at the time airfare is booked in conjunction with a deposited Uniworld vacation. The air deposit is non-refundable. Once airfare is deposited, the airfare, applicable taxes, and fuel surcharges are final and will not increase. After this period, please refer to the Air Cancellation Rules for details.

Air Travel Change Fees: Any changes to your air travel itinerary requested by the passenger are subject to airline policies. The passenger is responsible for all additional costs, including airfare increases and applicable change fees or penalties. Changes made after ticket issuance may incur charges of up to 100% of the original airfare.

Airline schedules, fares, and operations are subject to change without notice. Uniworld assumes no responsibility for delays, cancellations, missed connections, or other disruptions caused by airlines or third parties. Any additional expenses incurred as a result—including transfers, accommodation, or meals—are the sole responsibility of the guest.

If flight arrangements are canceled 119 days or less of departure, the airfare portion is non-refundable. Flight cancellation penalties are in addition to any other cancellation fees outlined in these Terms or imposed by third parties.

Air travel is governed by the airline’s individual contract of carriage, which constitutes the sole agreement between the guest and the carrier. Uniworld acts only as an intermediary and accepts no liability for the acts, omissions, or defaults of any air carrier. Seat assignments, upgrades, special meals, and in-flight services are under the exclusive control of the airline and cannot be guaranteed. Any related fees are the responsibility of the guest. Some contracted fares may limit or restrict advance seat selection or upgrades.

Refunds and credits for flights are subject to the airlines’ fare rules, policies, and timelines. If an airline issues a refund to the issuing agency, we will pass through the refund to you, less any disclosed service fee associated with processing the change or cancellation.

Arrival and Departures Information

Guests who purchase air through Uniworld may be eligible for our complimentary group airport transfers, or for private transfers at an additional price. If air is not purchased through Uniworld, both group and private transfers may be purchased up to 45 days prior to departure. All flights must meet our transfer guidelines which can be found on our Arrivals, Departures & Transfers page.

Purchased transfers are non-refundable 29 days or fewer prior to your cruise/tour start date. No refunds will be issued for transfers that are missed due to delayed or cancelled flights, or other travel delays. Guests who miss their purchased or complimentary transfer must make their own way to the ship/hotel at their own expense. Uniworld is not responsible for the cost of alternate travel arrangements due to missed transfers.

Itinerary Changes and Substitutions
You can count on the value of Uniworld’s experience and regional knowledge to make sure you enjoy your Uniworld itinerary even when conditions beyond our control occur. The very nature of a river, its sources, and networks of bridges and locks, means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region require Uniworld to make adjustments and/or modifications to an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries, vessels, and hotels as they are shown in the brochure, Uniworld reserves the right to substitute itineraries, hotels, or vessels. In such cases, we will do everything we can to make sure the locations visited, the excursions taken and the hotels or vessels offered are similar to the ones originally planned. Any changes to itineraries will not result in eligibility for a refund. Itineraries are subject to change without notice and may need to be altered specifically because of water levels, wind factors, or other conditions. Guests who choose to cancel or interrupt their cruise or Uniworld itinerary due to an itinerary change will be subject to our standard Cancellation Policy.

Uniworld reserves the right to cancel, advance, postpone, or modify scheduled departure, return, or itinerary dates, as well as locations, events, and schedules, and may, but is not obligated to, substitute, vary, alter, reschedule, cancel, and/or relocate any accommodations, vessels, modes of transportation, and other aspects of the vacation. Uniworld is authorized to take these actions due to causes or circumstances of any kind or nature beyond Uniworld’s control, or causes or circumstances within Uniworld’s control that Uniworld deems to make such actions appropriate. Uniworld will not be liable for cancellation, delay, rescheduling, or other adjustment or impact to a departure or itinerary, or other aspects of the vacation brought about due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control that prevent or interfere with any aspect of the Uniworld itinerary, also including governmental and administrative actions. The company’s only liability will be to provide Passengers the amount it has received for the Contract in the form of a Future Travel Credit or at Uniworld’s discretion a refund of monies paid to Uniworld in connection with such Uniworld itinerary. Uniworld is not responsible for other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or changes and is not liable for any cancellation or change costs or penalties incurred on other travel arrangements, including air tickets.

If due to unexpected technical or other unforeseen circumstances, it becomes necessary to change a guest’s stateroom onboard, any change to stateroom category will result in eligibility for a refund equal to the fare difference between the category booked and the category of relocation.

Travel Documentation & Entry Requirements
All guests are required to travel with a machine-readable passport valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date of the trip.

Documents: Provided full payment has been received on time and registration is completed, travel documents will be available to download in electronic format 21 days prior to travel from my.Uniworld.com.

It is your sole responsibility to obtain and carry all necessary visas, Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs), vaccination certificates, affidavits, and other documents required for entry into or exit from each country on your itinerary.

You should consult your Travel Advisor, the U.S. Department of State, or the relevant consular offices for the latest information on passport, visa, and health requirements before travel. Non-U.S. citizens must check entry and visa requirements with the appropriate embassy or consulate of each destination.

Some countries impose entry or reciprocity fees, departure taxes, or exit charges payable directly to local authorities at airports or border crossings. Such fees are not included in your trip price and must be paid by you.

Where possible, you should obtain all required visas or authorizations before departure, as some countries do not issue them at the border.

We require passport details and emergency contact information for every guest prior to the release of travel documents. Failure to provide this information may delay or prevent document issuance.

Obtaining, securing, and carrying proper travel documentation is exclusively your responsibility. Uniworld shall not be liable for any denial of entry, delay, loss, damage, or missed portion of the trip arising from incomplete, inaccurate, or invalid travel documents, or from government decisions regarding your entry to or exit from a country.

Entry to any country remains subject to the discretion of the relevant government authorities, even when all documentation appears in order.

ETIAS: The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a visa waiver/pre-screening program for ALL travellers who are visiting countries in the Schengen Area, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Romania.

ETIAS is expected to come into effect in 2027. Once in effect, guests will complete a short online application with security, health, and passport questions, pay a processing fee, and obtain an approved ETIAS visa waiver within approximately 72 hours. The waiver will be required for entry and will be valid for short-term stays of up to 90 days. Travelers can then move freely between the Schengen countries as there are no internal hard borders within the zone.

For more information, please visit the official website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/en/etias.

Additional Considerations:

Baggage Fees, Baggage and Personal Belongings: Uniworld allows one (1) suitcase, one (1) carry-on bag, and one (1) personal bag (handbag, computer case, etc.) per person onboard our ships and motorcoaches. Airlines may have additional baggage restrictions and may impose additional fees for checked baggage and/or excess baggage (visit: iﬂybags.com). Additional taxes and surcharges may be collected by foreign government and non-government entities. Keep an eye on your baggage—it is your responsibility throughout the trip. Uniworld is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to baggage and/or personal belongings at any time during the cruise, or on included transfers and other transportation. A protection plan covering lost, stolen or damaged baggage is available through the Uniworld Travel Protection Plan.

Flights included as part of the cruise/tour itinerary: Should your itinerary include one or more flights within the region visited as part of your cruise/tour itinerary, such flights will be in economy class. Should passengers’ baggage exceed the airline’s limit, excess baggage fees may be levied and will be the passengers’ responsibility to pay (visit: iﬂybags.com)

Check-In and Check-Out Times: Please note that standard check-in and check-out times will apply regardless of flight schedules or transfer arrangements.

Arrivals: On the day of embarkation, your stateroom will be ready after 3:00 PM. Guests who embark prior to 3:00 PM can wait in one of the public areas onboard. For itineraries beginning at a hotel, your room will be ready after the hotel’s standard check-in time. Uniworld is unable to request early check-ins.
Departures: On the day of disembarkation, you must vacate your stateroom by 8:00 AM. Guests with flights departing later in the day may wait onboard in one of the public areas until 1:00 PM or later, depending on the sailing schedule. For itineraries ending at a hotel, you must vacate your room by the hotel’s standard check-out time. Uniworld is unable to request late check-outs.

Passport/Visa:

A valid passport is required to travel on all Uniworld programs. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date of the trip. You should check with your Travel Advisor or the U.S. Consulate Service for information regarding necessary visas and other documentation. Non-U.S. citizens must contact the appropriate consular office for entry requirements pertaining to your trip. Any visa(s) or other documentation required for a particular itinerary is the sole responsibility of the guest. Due to government-imposed security/immigration measures, passport information and emergency contact information are required for all passengers prior to release of documentation.

Visas can be acquired for a fee through the consulates or embassies of the countries to be visited, and in some cases they can be purchased on arrival. Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility; Uniworld will not be responsible for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for any passenger, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses, including missed portions of your trip, related to improper travel documentation.

Travel Insurance Recommendation: We strongly encourage you to purchase travel protection when traveling with Uniworld. Should you choose to travel on Uniworld without travel insurance coverage you will need to acknowledge your agreement to take full responsibility for all expenses (trip interruption, trip delay, medical expenses, quarantine expenses and emergency evacuation/repatriation) that may arise while traveling with Uniworld. Your cruise documents will not be released until the insurance acknowledgement section of the Passenger Information Form found on "My Uniworld" has been completed. If you do not currently have travel insurance, please contact Uniworld or your travel advisor as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Visit www.uniworld.com/already-booked/travel-protection for more information about our travel protection options.

Guests who choose to cancel or interrupt their cruise or cruise/tour due to an itinerary change will be subject to our standard Cancellation Policy.

Advanced, Cancelled, or Delayed Sailing: Uniworld reserves the right to cancel, advance, postpone or modify scheduled departure, return or itinerary dates, as well as locations, events and schedules, and may, but is not obligated to, substitute, vary, alter, reschedule, cancel and/or relocate any accommodations, vessels, modes of transportation and other aspects of the vacation. Uniworld is authorized to take these actions due to causes or circumstances of any kind or nature beyond Uniworld’s control, or causes or circumstances within Uniworld’s control that Uniworld deems to make such actions appropriate. Uniworld will not be liable for cancellation, delay, rescheduling or other adjustment or impact to a departure or itinerary, or other aspects of the vacation brought about due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control that prevent or interfere with any aspect of the cruise/tour, also including governmental and administrative actions.

Stateroom Changes: If due to unexpected technical or other unforeseen circumstances, it becomes necessary to change a guest’s stateroom onboard, any change to stateroom category will result in eligibility for a refund equal to the fare difference between the category booked and the category of relocation.

Extensions/Land Tours: Uniworld reserves the right to reschedule and/or cancel land extensions or land tours if the minimum number of participants (20 people) is not met or for safety reasons. If you, as the Passenger, choose to cancel your pre- or post-cruise extension one hundred and nineteen (119) days or less before departure, then please refer to the Cancellation Policy section for the applicable cancellation policy and penalties that will be applied.

Security: Security is a major concern to all of us and the global situation is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation. Risks are involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties. You must accept these risks and assume responsibility for your own travel decisions.

Health and Mobility: Uniworld is committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and comfortable travel experience for all guests. We will make reasonable efforts, within the limits of the itinerary and destination infrastructure, to accommodate guests with disclosed medical or mobility needs. However, we cannot guarantee full accessibility in all locations.

Safety Measures: For the wellbeing of all travellers, we may impose reasonable health or safety requirements, including isolation or quarantine measures, and may exclude or remove any guest whose participation poses a direct health or safety risk to other guests or tour staff. Such actions do not entitle the guest to any refund or compensation.
Medical Services: We do not employ medical personnel. Any required medical attention will be provided by local medical providers at the guest’s expense. We are not responsible for the availability, quality, or cost of such services.
Accessibility: Some destinations involve uneven terrain, steps, or areas not easily accessible by wheelchair. While we will make reasonable efforts to assist, we cannot guarantee full accessibility or accommodations in all locations.
