Dietary Requirements
If you’ve got any dietary requirements, let us know when you book by contacting our River Cruise Team on 0203 451 2688. Then, once you’re onboard, just let the Maître d’ know.
We can provide vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and diabetic-friendly options on request. If you need to bring your own food for medical reasons, please let us know in advance so we can ensure we have the correct facilities in place to store and prepare this.
There may be some requests we aren’t able to accommodate, so it’s important you let us know when you book your cruise.
If you have more specific dietary needs, or need particular food brands or varieties, we’d recommend you bring them with you. For restrictions on foods you can’t take into certain destinations, please take a look at the FCO website.
Wi-Fi
Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the ship – WiFi speeds may vary. Coverage may also vary depending on location.
Accessibility
Are TUI River Cruise ships suitable if I have reduced mobility or use a wheelchair?
Unfortunately, our river cruises are not wheelchair-friendly, and there are no lifts onboard. If you’re unable to walk unaided up and down flights of stairs, then a TUI River Cruise may not be suitable for you, as the facilities are spread across different floors on the ship. If you need any advice on accessibility, medical care and onboard facilities, give our River Cruise Team a call on 0203 451 2688, and they’ll be happy to help.
Do TUI River Cruises cater for customers who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired?
Customers with sensory impairments are welcome, but please be aware that access to the facilities onboard, gangway access, and tenders ashore can be difficult. We recommend that anyone who is hard of hearing or has vision impairments should always be accompanied by a fit and able companion to guide and assist them. However, if someone particularly wishes to travel alone, they can speak to our Assisted Travel Team on 0203 451 2688 who will assess the risk based on individual requirements.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know, head over to our FAQs page or call our River Cruise Team 0203 451 2688.
Smoking Policy
All our ships are non-smoking, which means you can only smoke in designated areas of the top deck. Smoking is not permitted in cabins, even those with French balconies. The same policy applies to e-cigarettes.
Dress Code
There is a dress code onboard our TUI River Cruises – it’s smart-casual.
During the day, the rules are quite relaxed, however beachwear can’t be worn in the restaurants.
In the evenings, the dress code is smarter. Men will need to wear long trousers or smart tailored shorts, a shirt or polo shirt and closed shoes. There’s the opportunity to get dressed up for our Gala dinner which takes place once per cruise of 5 nights or more, but there’s no requirement to do so.
