<strong>Cruise</strong> <strong>Companion</strong><br />
Ship’s Office<br />
The Ship’s Office is located either in the bar or on the upper<br />
deck l<strong>and</strong>ing. The Purser <strong>and</strong> key team members are available<br />
to assist at designated times.<br />
Shopping<br />
Time for shopping is usually, but not always, allowed for<br />
within the framework of most of the sightseeing programs.<br />
The actual amount of time available for shopping may be<br />
limited by tour constraints. Shopping recommendations<br />
can be made by your Tour Manager. Larger stores will<br />
accept most major credit cards, while market vendors <strong>and</strong><br />
small stores will usually accept the local currency only (with<br />
the exception of Cambodia, which widely accepts the US<br />
Dollar). It is a good idea to take a small amount of cash to<br />
use for on-the-spot gratuities <strong>and</strong> the purchasing of souvenirs<br />
or sundries.<br />
required to enter Thail<strong>and</strong>. Any visa(s) or other documentation<br />
required for a particular itinerary is the sole responsibility of<br />
the guest. As a courtesy, our website, uniworld.com, offers a<br />
link to a visa service company in the “Before You Go” section;<br />
this company can provide additional information. Obtaining<br />
<strong>and</strong> carrying required documents is your sole responsibility.<br />
<strong>Uniworld</strong> will not be responsible for advising <strong>and</strong>/or obtaining<br />
required travel documentation for any passenger, or for any<br />
delays, damages <strong>and</strong>/or losses, including missed portions of<br />
your trip, related to improper travel documentation.<br />
Due to government imposed security/immigration measures,<br />
passport information <strong>and</strong> emergency contact information are<br />
required for all passengers prior to release of documentation.<br />
During the cruise/tour, it is advisable to have copies of important<br />
documents (e.g., first page of your passport, photo, credit card<br />
numbers, <strong>and</strong> bank/credit card company phone numbers) in a<br />
separate packet, in case the originals are lost or stolen.<br />

Smoking<br />
The ship enjoys a non-smoking environment in all public areas<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the staterooms. Smoking is allowed only on the upper<br />
Sun Deck. Non-smoking rooms are requested in all hotels.<br />
For those passengers who smoke, we can request a smoking<br />
room in hotels (if available) with advance notice. For the<br />
comfort of all passengers, smoking is not permitted on<br />
sightseeing or transfer vehicles. On motorcoach tours, we<br />
ask that passengers rotate to allow everyone the opportunity<br />
to sit near the front.<br />
Stateroom Amenities<br />
We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your<br />
voyage with us. Our stewarding team will do their best to<br />
ensure the highest possible st<strong>and</strong>ards of cleanliness <strong>and</strong><br />
comfort in your room. Please do not hesitate to ask if you<br />
require anything at all, <strong>and</strong> please let us know if you are not<br />
satisfied with any aspect of our care of you. Note that cabins<br />
do not have mini bars, TVs, or phones. All have their own airconditioning,<br />
mini-safes, luggage storage, wardrobes, writing<br />
desks, <strong>and</strong> amenities, including hair dryers, kimonos, <strong>and</strong><br />
slippers. All upper <strong>and</strong> main deck staterooms have their own<br />
deck space with a table <strong>and</strong> rattan chairs outside the room.<br />
Visa Requirements for Vietnam & Cambodia<br />
Programs<br />
For US <strong>and</strong> Canadian citizens, a multiple entry visa is required<br />
for entry to Vietnam, <strong>and</strong> a single entry visa is required for<br />
entry to Cambodia. For US <strong>and</strong> Canadian citizens, a visa is not<br />
Water<br />
Please do not drink or brush your teeth with the tap water<br />
while onboard or onshore. The ship’s water supply comes<br />
from the river after passing through a sterilization plant. This<br />
water is suitable for washing but should not be consumed.<br />
Complimentary bottled water for drinking is provided<br />
onboard, <strong>and</strong> additional bottled water will be made available<br />
free of charge on excursions. To save water <strong>and</strong> reduce<br />
detergent use, we will only change towels daily if they are<br />
placed on the floor. The ship has copious supplies of hot<br />
water, but you may have to run the water for up to two<br />
minutes before it gets hot.<br />
All hotels also provide complimentary in-room bottled water.<br />
Weather<br />
Today, weather forecasts are widely available at the click of<br />
a button on the Internet. <strong>Uniworld</strong>’s favorite resource for<br />
up-to-the-minute international weather is weather.com.<br />
