With sustainable tourism a growing force in the travel industry, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises takes great steps to become more sustainable. The cruise line leads the way by driving meaningful and substantial change with a formalized plan for eliminating food waste. Uniworld recently partnered with the Certified B Corporation food waste reduction program Leanpath. Right now, Uniworld is on track to reduce 50 percent of the company’s total food waste by 2025.
Food waste is responsible for about 6 percent of the global greenhouse emissions, and with this partnership, Leanpath already saw a 15 percent reduction in food waste in just three months. Nearly half of the Uniworld fleet has used Leanpath techniques with plans to expand to the entire fleet by 2023.

Leanpath invented an automated, data-driven food waste tracking system in 2004. Along with coaching from within the company, the system has provided the technology for companies around the world ever since. The cutting-edge system helps improve kitchen efficiency as well as demolish food waste on a large scale.
This is just one component of Uniworld’s sustainability plan. Uniworld also aims to provide new sustainable tourism adventures for travelers, committing to carbon neutrality through the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism and eliminating single-use plastics.

Mar 27, 2025Golf to Gastronomy to the Great Outdoors, Phoenix Rolls Out the Desert Carpet
You won’t need a sleeping potion here. The coyotes will howl you to sleep,” said the driver who picked me up at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to take me to my meeting at the historic Wigwam, a storied resort I last visited as a child. I’m excited to return to experience its characteristic adobe casitas and wander through its acres of lush Sonoran Desert landscape. Despite the driver’s warnings of menacing coyotes, I gaze in joy at the otherworldliness of the anthropomorphic saguaro cacti rising like humans waving their arms to the sky. They pepper the roadside and mottle the horizon all the way to purple- hued Camelback Mountain, a supreme hiking destination that gleams in the sun. Immense pinkish boulders, purportedly eons old, litter the expanses. They look like colossal petrified tennis balls left from a rigorous rally from long ago. Suddenly, a roadrunner speeds across the highway. “Whoa,” said the driver. “At least it wasn’t a Gila monster.”

Mar 26, 2025Head to Jackson Hole and Revel in the Remote Possibilities
For a city girl like me, stepping into the town square of Jackson, in northwest Wyoming, felt like walking onto a slicker set of the television show Gunsmoke. Wooden sawtooth facades surround Jackson’s Town Square (a.k.a. George Washington Memorial Park). Visitors stroll the boardwalk connecting the Western-style buildings, each with a large window displaying goods, restaurants and art galleries. Iconic arches, assembled with discarded elk antlers from nearby National Elk Refuge, perch on each corner of the town square. Stagecoaches pulled by teams of horses parade other city-dwellers around the park.
