A PASSION FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM and a penchant for giving back.
Travel has provided us the chance to give back and lift up others, and we strive to do so whenever possible. Uniworld focuses on making a positive impact, with a mission to #MakeTravelMatter for people, wildlife and the planet for generations to come. And as a signatory of The Glasgow Declaration that has united several travel companies and organizations to hold each other accountable to vital carbon emissions goals, we’re part of a global effort to make the travel industry better for our planet—not just for our brand.
PEOPLE
Uniworld works with local artisans and small business everywhere we travel, so we can bring you authentic local experiences while also supporting the livelihoods of the people who make these communities special.
PLANET
Every year, they find more ways to cut back on our carbon footprint, from committing to eliminate more than 60 types of single-use plastics to reaching Net Zero by 2050.
WILDLIFE
Partnering with leading wildlife organizations, Uniworld works to protect and rehabilitate elephant, rhino and big cat populations around the world, while ensuring that all of our experiences meet strict animal welfare standards.

How Uniworld Treads Right
MEET OUR SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER
Travel can and should be a force for good, which is why we've introduced an entirely new role to help keep pushing us towards a brighter future.
WE’RE COMMITTED TO NET ZERO BY 2050 OR SOONER
Uniworld conducts comprehensive measurements of our emissions in order to reduce and offset our carbon footprint, with the goal of reaching Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. On Uniworlds way, they're supplementing efforts by supporting third parties that remove the existing carbon in the atmosphere.
Food waste is one of the largest contributors to climate change, so we’ve partnered with a food waste management company, Leanpath, to reduce our carbon footprint. Their system measures how much food gets discarded after every meal onboard. With the precise measurements it will provide us, our chefs will have the data and confidence necessary to make the perfect amount of each dish.
MAKE TRAVEL MATTER EXPERIENCES
Uniworld offers a selection of included MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experiences on our cruises. They are chosen for the positive environmental or social impact they have on the guests who experience them, and the people and places they visit, and they support one or more of the United Nation’s Global Goals.
It is estimated that an additional eight million tons of plastic pour into our oceans every year. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, if nothing is done to push back against the deluge of plastics currently overwhelming our oceans there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050.
Uniworld is banning more than 60 types of single-use plastics across all operations—including straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. It's all part of our commitment to ensure the environment remains vibrant for generations to come.
