How does Uniworld Boutique River Cruises's bid (offer) upgrade work?

Who is eligible for a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade?
Eligibility depends on your fare type, route, and how close to departure you are — not every fare or flight qualifies, and offers usually open within a window before departure. The reliable way to know is to check your specific booking rather than assume.
When am I charged for a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade?
Only if your offer is accepted. With bid upgrades the charge happens when the upgrade is confirmed — typically in the days before departure. If your offer isn't accepted, there's no charge.
How will I know if my Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade offer was accepted?
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises notifies you — usually by email — if your offer is accepted, typically shortly before departure. Until then your original booking stands, and you can review your offer's status where you submitted it.
Can I change or cancel my Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade offer?
A pending offer can usually be changed or cancelled any time before it's accepted, from the page where you submitted it. Once an offer is accepted and charged, the upgrade is confirmed.
How much does a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade cost?
There's no fixed price — you offer within a range shown for your booking, which varies by route, cabin, and demand. You choose where in that range to bid; higher offers can have a better chance of being accepted, though the exact acceptance formula isn't published.
Can I change or cancel my Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade bid after submitting it?
Yes — an Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade bid can be changed or cancelled any time until Uniworld Boutique River Cruises makes its decision. Once a bid is accepted it's final and your card is charged. To update or withdraw it, use Uniworld Boutique River Cruises's Manage My Booking / offer page, or check your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) and I can help you modify or cancel it.
When is my card charged for a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade bid?
Only if your bid is accepted. Submitting an Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade bid authorizes your card for the bid amount, but nothing is charged unless Uniworld Boutique River Cruises accepts it — if the bid is declined or expires, the authorization is released and you pay nothing, keeping your original stateroom category. If it's accepted, the card you provided is charged the amount you offered and your upgrade is confirmed.
When will I find out if my Uniworld Boutique River Cruises upgrade bid was accepted?
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises decides upgrade bids before your sailing — often close to departure, once the operator knows how much stateroom category space is left. You'll be notified by email either way at the address on your offer. You don't need to keep checking, but you can see your bid's current status any time by checking your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) or on Uniworld Boutique River Cruises's Manage My Booking page.
