Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and U by Uniworld, members of The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) family of brands, will begin offering itineraries aimed at having a positive impact on the people and communities visited on sailings.
The “Make Travel Matter” experiences will be offered in 2021 and 2022 throughout India, Europe, and the Middle East—directly advancing United Nations Global Goals, including clean water and sanitation, gender equality, and sustainability.
Om India's Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges itinerary, Uniworld guests will have the opportunity to board a pedal-powered Trishaw in the “Temple City” of Kalna to explore the Rajbari temple complex dating back to 1739. They will support local artisans that have been making ornamental brass objects and visit Mother Theresa’s home and tomb as well as the local NGO Calcutta Rescue in Kolkata, which serves the area’s underprivileged children through health clinics, schools, vocational training, and preventative health programs.
