Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has announced a range of Limited Edition cruises for 2025, including the first-ever women-only cruise.

The cruise is set to embark on 24th August 2024 on the S.S. Catherine and has been designed “by women, for women”.
Several special events are planned for the duration of the cruise, ranging from the more sedate craft activities like lavender weaving, through to the more thrilling such as burlesque shows.
There’ll also be special cocktail parties and a chocolate and wine pairing experience that guests will be able to enjoy.
“Travelers have demonstrated an increasing desire for more specialized and unique experiences, inspiring us to develop a wide range of new themed cruises for 2025…
“From our first-ever cruise exclusively for women to luxurious, all-inclusive golf packages, we are expanding our portfolio to further cater to a range of interests, passions and communities, all while remaining deeply committed to delivering unforgettable experiences that exceed our guests’ expectations.”
Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld
After leaving Arles, the cruise will take guests to Avignon, Viviers, Tain-L’Hermitage (for Tournon), Lyon, and Macon (for Beaune) before returning to Lyon for disembarkation. Guests can add optional extensions if they wish to travel to Paris or even fly to Greece.
The cruise along the Rhone and Saone rivers gives guests the chance to follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s most famous artists, including Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin.
The cruise line is encouraging guests to bring their “mothers, sisters, adult daughters, best friends, or any special women in your life.”
There are also plenty of options for solo travellers who wish to join the cruise.
Other cruises include a special Golf Package add-on for Bordeaux itineraries, and some music-themed cruises. There’s also a Jewish Heritage Cruise, an “Out on the Rivers” LGBTQ+ cruise, and several Generations Collection cruises aimed at families.
