Brilliant Bordeaux River Cruise FAQ
Why do I need to complete a Passenger Information Form?
Uniworld requires a Passenger Information Form for immigration compliance and to ensure we have all the details about every guest relevant to your voyage. We ask passengers to complete the form in full by the time they make their final payment.
Is there a laundry service available on the S.S. Bon Voyage?
The Grand Suites and two Suites on the Bordeaux Deck have a free in-suite laundry service. There is also a self-service guest laundrette with an ironing board on the Medoc Deck.
Is smoking allowed on board the ship?
Smoking is allowed in a designated area on the Soleil Deck but prohibited in all the other public areas and in suites and staterooms. The smoking ban extends to tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and vape devices. We ask guests to refrain from smoking on shore excursions and tours, and most tourist attractions on shore have a no-smoking policy.
