Uniworld Cruises Tips, Activities, and Overview

Who goes on Uniworld cruise ships?

Uniworld attracts affluent, sophisticated travelers, the majority of whom are North Americans, but you'll also find passengers from the U.K., Australia and Asia onboard. The bulk of passengers fall into the traditional 60-plus river cruise age group, but a growing trend of people aged 40 to 60 are also drawn to the stylish onboard ambience.

In addition, Uniworld was one of the first lines to offer themed cruisings, and you'll find sailings aimed at Jewish Heritage, LGBTQ+ travelers and active travelers, as well as families.

Do I have to dress up on a Uniworld cruise?

Somewhat. Uniworld passengers run to smart-casual by day, but at night they almost always opt for dressier outfits, especially at the captain's welcome and farewell festivities. For those meals, as well as select dining ashore or concert options, the line suggests men bring a sports jacket and women, a cocktail dress or pantsuit. With that said, Uniworld only asks that cruisers not wear shorts to dinner.

Is everything free on Uniworld cruises?

No, but the experience is highly inclusive with some differences depending on the itinerary. In general, all meals, unlimited drinks, most shore excursions, Wi-Fi and onboard gratuities) are all included in the cruise fare. Access to onboard bikes and a self-service launderette are also complimentary.

You will pay extra for some shore excursions, as well as spa and beauty treatments.

What are Uniworld’s most popular activities?

The ports of call draw passengers off the ship for much of the day and when they return onboard, they tend to spend quite a lot of time in the public rooms socializing. The indoor or outdoor pools attract more passengers than usual on river cruises, and the gym and spa facilities get plenty of use.

Whenever offered, passengers gather for onboard programs, such as wine tastings, culinary classes and local group performances of traditional regional arts. Speakers from the line's Signature Lecture Series also usually draw a crowd. Dancing in the evening can prove popular depending on the passenger mix.

Why go with Uniworld?

  • One of river cruising's more luxurious lines.
  • Sails rivers in Europe, Southeast Asia, India and Egypt.
  • Intriguing variety of tour options.

Best for: Affluent travelers who enjoy a touch of luxury in a boutique ship setting

Not for: Young travelers, passengers with mobility issues and people who prefer a more a la carte experience

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime

Day 4: January 30, Dendra, cruise to Luxor After an excellent buffet breakfast, we departed the ship at 7AM and took the bus to the Temple of Hathor.One bus took people to the Four Seasons Hotel where you checked-in and had free time the rest of the day.Read More

Classic Christmas Markets: a Lump of Coal

Our captain was conspicuously absent when the cruise manager made the announcement on the fifth day of our itinerary that we would simply have to be bussed over two hours each way to and from our final two destinations back to our ship stuck at the port of embarkation, that hotel accommodations could not be arranged for us in lieu of shuttle busses, and that we would need to be shuttled all the way to our final destination, Frankfurt, to make our departure flights — meaning some of us would have to wake up in the middle of the night to make our flights in time following an hours-long shuttle bus ride.I felt I had no choice but to abandon the cruise altogether and book my own arrangements for the final two days of my stay in Germany myself just to avoid the inconvenience that Uniworld could have well prevented, had they been forthcoming with the information about ongoing weather and sailing conditions, and in a better position to accommodate us closer to the port stops that were further away.Read More

Amazing adventure

Wonderful experience You will encounter some delays, some poverty, some pushy peddlers but the overall experience is amazing Uniworld does a great job of anticipating many little details to allow you to relax and enjoy the journey Uniworld is very responsive to guest wishes—it’s all about the passengers experience Food is fabulous Excursions excellent Plenty of relaxation time Egypt had lovely friendly people Hot air balloon ride was not on the agenda but a large number of us wanted this—so Uniworld made it happen Abu Simbel is an optional excursion Amazing site but be aware it’s a long day for a relatively short excursion (leave ship, travel by bus to airport, wait for flight, fly to Abu Simbel, bus to site…the repeat all to return to shop in time for lunch) Time at site was about 30-60 min (they allow more but everyone done that quick ) Staff are 5 starRead More
