For entry to Cambodia, our Cruise/Tour Manager will

take care of obtaining Cambodian visas for each guest

on the cruise/tour. Each guest will need to provide

the Cruise/Tour Manager with his or her passport, one

(1) passport photo and $50 US dollars (USD) in cash,

per person, while on the cruise/tour for this purpose.

The Cruise/Tour Manager will then submit all passports

to the Cambodian Immigration Authorities and obtain

the visas. For southbound Mekong cruises, this will be

done at the Siem Reap Airport. For northbound Mekong

cruises, this will be done onboard the Mekong Navigator prior to entering Cambodia.

Any visa(s) or other documentation required for a

particular itinerary is solely the responsibility of the

guest. As a courtesy, our website, uniworld.com, offers

a link to a visa service company in the “Already Booked”

section; this company can provide additional information.

Obtaining and carrying required documents is solely your

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

or absent travel documentation. Due to government-

imposed security immigration measures, passport infor-

mation and emergency contact information are required

for all passengers prior to release of documentation.

Passenger Information Form: By now, you should have completed the Uniworld Passenger Information Form.

The information on this form is used to comply with

certain foreign government and airline security restrictions

in advance of your arrival. If you have completed this

form, we thank you for your prompt attention. If you

have not completed this form, please visit our website

at uniworld.com and complete the online Passenger

Information Form in the “Already Booked” section. Each

guest must complete the form.

Please note that the name on your airline tickets must

match your name exactly as it is shown in your passport.

This applies to both international flights as well as the

flight between Vietnam and Cambodia (or vice versa)

that we will book for you, so please be sure we have your

name correct on your booking.

Travel Protection Plan: Uniworld strongly recommends that each guest purchase a Travel Protection Plan. Please

carry all policy information with you during the course of

your trip.

During the cruise/tour, it is advisable to have copies of

important documents (i.e., first page of your passport,

photo, credit card numbers and bank/credit card

company phone numbers) in a separate packet, in case

the originals are lost or stolen.

itinerary, with the exception of Cambodian visas.

Uniworld will not be responsible for any delays, damages

and/or losses (including missed portions of your trip)

related to improper or absent travel documents.
