Everyone deserves

the best of Europe.

Take this year’s vacation beyond the ordinary with a Uniworld Generations specialized family river cruise. Simply step aboard, unpack once and let Uniworld chart a course for European adventure, history and fun for the entire family. With onboard and onshore experiences specially designed for each destination, there’s no better way to introduce young people to Europe’s most spectacular cities, where the memories you’ll make will be shared for generations.

Dedicated Family Hosts Onboard Two dedicated Family Hosts for Junior Cruisers (ages 4-11 years) and Young Cruisers (ages 12-18 years) will supervise and coordinate engaging onboard activities, giving parents opportunities to enjoy romantic evenings or go to the Serenity River Spa™ for a relaxing treatment while the kids are having fun and making new friends.

Local Guides Onshore, our select local guides are sensitive to the needs of children and teens and are trained to adjust their guiding styles to young travelers’ attention spans, always making excursions as active, engaging and hands-on as possible.

Young Ambassadors Every itinerary features onboard visits from local junior guests (children and teens) who will introduce you to the daily life of local cultures, such as Germany, Austria and Italy. Uniworld’s “Curious Minds” cultural chats include insight into their lives, such as school, sports and social activities.

Fresh Perspectives River cruising with kids allows even well-traveled grown-ups to explore Europe in a fresh new way. Young travelers make great cultural liaisons, opening doors to serendipitous and unforgettable experiences. And they cruise for half price, too!

Young Citizens of the World We believe that international travel plants the seeds of greater understanding, tolerance and compassion for others, preparing young people to be global citizens and inspiring them to make the world a better place.

River cruise ships are very unique and much different than large ocean-going vessels. One of most intriguing things about them is their small size. Many rivers and canals in Europe are connected to each other through a series of concrete locks, and ships have to be able to fit inside each lock; at 443 feet, it’s a tight squeeze. River cruise ships can’t be too tall either, as they have to fit under bridges. The ships are ingeniously designed so that the top of the ship can collapse if water levels are too high, which allows enough space for the ship to slip through. When the top doesn’t collapse, have fun on deck as the ship sails under majestic bridges and through the grand canals. Because of their small size, river cruise ships can go where larger ships can’t—this is one of the best things about river cruising. Our ships are like ﬂoating hotels that carry you from town to town, with lots of wonderful things and beautiful scenery to see along the way. Once the ship arrives in port—often docking in the historic heart of grand cities and small towns—you can step right off the ship and immediately start exploring.

These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that might be levied by your travel agent. There is no refund for unused services or for unused portions of the trip.

Your Trip

Revision Fee: A fee of $30 per person, per transaction, will be charged for any passenger name change; cruise date change (within the same calendar year only) or itinerary change made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed unless the change increases the value of the booking. A passenger name change, cruise date change or itinerary change within ninety (90) days of departure will be treated as a cancellation subject to our cancellation policy, and a new reservation must be made. Cancellation fees (as shown above) will apply. Any revision to a booking may result in the loss of a confirmed airline reservation, change fees (refer to the Air Travel change fees section for details) and increased airfare in addition to any charges levied by the airlines, which will be payable by the Passenger.

Prices: Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a stateroom or hotel room, and are in US Dollars. Cruise and cruise/tour prices are based on costs, charges, tariffs, rates, taxes, levies and exchange rates as of May 31, 2015. Should the total cruise price increase by more than 10%, passengers will have the right to cancel their cruise within seven (7) days of notification of the surcharge without penalty. No surcharges in respect of cost or currency fluctuations will be made once payment for the deposit of your cruise or cruise/tour is received. This does not apply to fuel surcharges and any taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies. If you have purchased your transatlantic or transpacific air with Uniworld and/or you have purchased a cruise or cruise/tour package with Uniworld that includes air, your entire package price will be guaranteed at time of initial payment. Reservations and Payments: A deposit of at least $300 per person is required within 72 hours of reservation. Payment in full for the airfare booked in conjunction with a Uniworld cruise or cruise/tour is required at time of booking. Upon receipt of full air payment your airfare, tax and fuel surcharges are final. You may cancel your air within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund of the cost of the airfare. Final payment is due at least ninety (90) days prior to departure. Reservations will be canceled if final payment is not received in a timely manner. Items Not Included in the Published Price: These include, but are not limited to, airfares to and from your destination except where specified; airport/ departure taxes; cost of passport and visas; taxes; excess baggage charges; laundry; phone calls; all items of a personal nature; items not included on regular menus; expenses for additional sightseeing not specified in the itinerary; premium spirits & premium wine (please refer to complimentary beverage program), meals not detailed in the itinerary; and health, accident, baggage, or travel protection plans.

Your Flight

Transfer Guidelines:

Airfare: Uniworld wants to help make your entire vacation smooth sailing, so we offer great values on airfares from most major cities in the US. Please contact your Travel Professional or Uniworld for the most up-to-date prices. As airfares and schedules are subject to availability, we encourage you to book early. Payment in full for the airfare booked in conjunction with a Uniworld cruise or cruise/tour is required at the time air is booked. Upon receipt of full air payment your airfare, tax and fuel surcharges are final. You may cancel your air within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund of the cost of the airfare. We may issue your air ticket at any time after you book and pay for your flights in full.

Flights must arrive/depart within the following time limits:

Air Travel Change Fees: If you, as the Passenger, change your air travel itinerary before your ticket is issued, you will be charged a $30 per person change fee (see Revision Fees). This charge will apply each time you make a change. If you change your air travel plans after your ticket is issued, you will be charged a $75 per person per change fee, and you will be responsible for any increase in airfare and/or penalties levied by the airline, which may be up to 100% of the air ticket value. Airline Cancellations: You may cancel your air within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund of the cost of the airfare.

Air Bookings and Restrictions: TSA regulations require us to collect the full first, middle and last name as it appears on your passport or governmentissued 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. 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. Flight itineraries provided are subject to change by the Air Carrier(s). We recommend you contact the airline within seven (7) days of departure to reconfirm your flights. Seat Assignments and Special Services: Requests for seat assignments, special meals and special services must be made directly to the airline. Some airfares used by Uniworld are not eligible for frequent flyer mileage. Please inquire with the airline for full details regarding frequent flyer mileage.

Uniworld is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to baggage and/or personal belongings. A protection plan covering lost, stolen or damaged baggage is available through the Uniworld Travel Protection Plan. Documents: Uniworld will send you a document packet twenty- one (21) to thirty (30) days before your cruise or cruise/tour departure date, provided that Uniworld receives your completed Passenger Information Form and your booking is paid in full. 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 agent or the US Consulate Service for information regarding necessary documentation. Non-US 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. As a courtesy, our website, uniworld.com, in the “Before You Go” section, offers a link to a visa service company where you can obtain additional information. 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.

Terms & Conditions Due to government imposed security/immigration measures, passport information and emergency contact information are required for all passengers prior to release of documentation.

Additional Considerations Travel Protection Plan: Uniworld makes every effort to ensure that your trip is safe and enjoyable. However, situations beyond our control may occur. Also, keep in mind that your health plan coverage for a stay outside the US may be limited. We recommend you obtain a travel protection plan. To help provide you with peace of mind, Uniworld offers a comprehensive travel protection plan. Itinerary Changes: You can count on the value of Uniworld’s experience and regional knowledge to make sure you enjoy your cruise/tour 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. 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 eighty-nine (89) days or less before departure, then please refer to the Cancellation Policy section for the applicable cancellation policy and penalties that will be applied. Advanced, Canceled, or Delayed Sailing: Uniworld reserves the right to cancel, advance or postpone any scheduled sailing date and may, but is not obligated to, substitute hotels or vessels. Uniworld shall not be liable for any loss to you by reason of any such cancellation, advancement or postponement. In the event of cancellation by Uniworld, your sole right of recourse shall be to obtain a refund of monies paid to Uniworld in connection with such cruise/ tour. Health and Mobility: The Company strives to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable travel experience for all passengers. The Company welcomes passengers with special needs or disabilities. However, please note the following: • Passengers are required to advise the Company, in advance, of any physical, medical, or other special needs that require accommodation. • All guests must ensure they are medically and physically fit for travel.

Any necessary medical attention will be provided by a local facility at the passenger’s expense.

Passengers should be aware some tours include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and locations which may not be easily accessible or accessible by wheelchair.

independent entities over which the Company has no control. Accommodations on international tours may differ from those in the United States.

Trip Cancellation: Up to Total Trip Cost Reimburses the non-refundable Uniworld cancellation penalties imposed if you must cancel your trip for a covered reason such as illness, injury or death to you, a traveling companion or an immediate family member. Other covered reasons for cancellation include Common Carrier-caused delays due to inclement weather, jury duty, subpoena, or a documented traffic accident en route to departure, and other reasons as cited in the plan description.

The Uniworld “Any Reason” Cancellation Waiver** With the Uniworld “Any Reason” Cancellation Waiver, Uniworld will provide you with 100% of the Uniworld cancellation penalties in the form of a future travel credit certificate, should you cancel your cruise/tour prior to your original scheduled flight departure time for any reason that is not eligible for cash reimbursement under the Trip Cancellation section of the Travel Protection Plan. Cancellation penalties are reimbursed in the form of a Uniworld Travel Certificate allowing you a two (2) year credit to travel with us at a later date. Please note that to be eligible for the “Any Reason Cancellation Waiver,” you must enroll and pay for the plan at the time you make your initial trip deposit. The certificate is valid for two years, is nontransferable, non-refundable and may not be redeemed for cash. Future travel certificates do not include airfare cancellation charges for air arrangements unless those arrangements were provided by Uniworld.

Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation: Up to $50,000 In the event that a covered illness or injury requires air or ground transportation to a specialized facility or to return home, the plan provides up to $50,000 in covered medical services and supplies (coordinated by our 24-hour assistance provider, to help ensure your safe transport).
