Frequently Asked Questions BOOKING & PROGRAMS
When is the best time to book a Uniworld cruise? It is always best to plan early, as Uniworld guests tend to book at least six months in advance. Plus, Uniworld always rewards your clients for booking early with significant Early-Booking Savings options and other valuable offers. Visit uniworld.com/savings (USA) or uniworldcruises.ca/savings (CANADA) for more information.
Which direction of the cruise should I book? It does not matter which direction your clients choose, as both contain the same included features. Timings of activities may vary somewhat due to cruising times up- or downstream, but guests otherwise have identical travel experiences. The direction of the journey is usually just a matter of preference; for example, your

Most Uniworld ships have an elevator and we offer our “Gentle Walking” program for those who wish to explore at a more leisurely pace onshore. However, please note Uniworld ships are not wheelchair accessible and travelers with mobility issues may find cobblestone streets, narrow/uneven walkways, steps, or longer excursions onshore to be rather challenging.
