While onboard, guests can sign for all purchases, and pay their charges at the end of the cruise.

In addition to your Titan tour manager, you may wish to tip the ships crew, and the amount of the gratuity is entirely subject to your satisfaction with your travel experience. We provide the following purely as a guideline:
Ship staff and crew: €10.00 per person per day
Cruise Manager: €3.00 per person per day
Local guide: €3.00 per person per day
Gratuities cannot be billed to onboard accounts or paid with a credit card.
CLIENTS WITH DISABILITIES & MEDICAL CONDITIONS
These river trips are exciting, relatively active holidays. While there will be plenty of time to relax, there will also be much to see and do. Your included excursions generally require an extensive amount of walking, and navigation of numerous steps. Access to sites visited on shore excursions for guests with physical limitations is generally restrictive. For your safety and enjoyment, we recommend all guests be in good physical condition. In addition, river ships, while spacious and elegant, most do not have lifts. Uniworld does not employ staff nurses or doctors onboard its ships. Should you need medical attention, it will be at local facilities, at your own expense.
CRUISE ITINERARIES
The cruises featured in our brochures are offered subject to the conditions of carriage of the individual cruise lines (a copy of the conditions are issued with your invoice). Changes to times or itineraries, including changes to times and places of arrival and departure of the ship, may be made for reasons including, but not limited to, operational matters, the safety, comfort or enjoyment of passengers, or reasons beyond the cruise lines control. The cruise company reserves the absolute right to change or alter the advertised routings or timings and such changes will not amount to a major change of the holiday. We will always endeavour to advise you of these changes as soon as we are aware of them.
RIVER CRUISES
Water levels on rivers can fluctuate on a daily basis and in serious cases it is possible that the itinerary can be affected with little or no warning. Should your ship be unable to follow the planned itinerary the cruise line will do all they can to ensure all places are visited by alternative means, usually by coach. You should note that unless a confirmed new itinerary is issued to us before travel we are not able to give you prior notice. These changes will not amount to a major change to the holiday.
DINING
The restaurant accommodates all guests in a relaxed, single, open seating and offers international and national cuisine. Breakfast and lunch are sumptuous buffets with evenings featuring specialties of the house. All meal times are scheduled around tour departures, and breakfast can take place very early in the morning.
Any special dietary requirements should be advised at the time of booking in order for us to advise the cruise line, although every effort will be made to accommodate your request please be advised that the cruise line cannot guarantee your request will be met.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
Special requests such as cabin location, specific decks (if not already specified) and adjacent cabins can be made at the time of booking. Please note even if a cabin number is confirmed the cruise line reserves the right to alter this prior to boarding. In many cases the cruise line will not allocate a cabin until close to departure and therefore early booking does not necessarily ensure your request will be met. Although every endeavour is made to meet your requests, this is dependant on the cruise line, and Titan Travel cannot be held liable for failure to provide.
SMOKING POLICY
All river ships do not permit smoking indoors and restrict this to the open deck only.
WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU
For your general guidance, lightweight casual clothing is ideal for daytime wear and comfortable walking shoes are recommended for on-shore excursions. Depending upon your choice of holiday, we also suggest you take light rainwear, sunglasses, sun hat or visor, an adequate supply of sun lotions, insect repellent and perhaps a pair of binoculars. For evenings, smart-casual wear is perfectly suitable.
Men may wish to bring a jacket for the onboard Captain’s Welcome and Farewell Dinners, ladies may wear a cocktail dress, trouser suit or similar attire. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, it is advisable to take an extra pair in case of any loss or damage. Similarly, if you use any prescription medicine or special cosmetics, bring enough to last for the duration of your holiday as these may not be readily available at ports of call.
We recommend that you take with you a photocopy of the photograph page in your passport.
Our Sales staff will be happy to give you further advice on your specific choice of cruise.
