Last August I joined Uniworld’s Women-Only river cruise through Burgundy & Provence and brought several travelers with me.

It was one of the most joyful trips I’ve ever taken.

From the moment we stepped onboard, the experience felt different.

For eight days we felt like queens.

The staff remembered our preferences — how we liked our coffee, which wines we enjoyed, even little details we mentioned in passing.

Every evening we returned to our staterooms to find a special gift waiting on our pillows.

During the day we had experiences created just for us:

• learning to make lavender wands
• creating our own signature perfume
• designing beautiful fascinators
• a lively pajama party
• champagne flowing during workshops and events

One evening we even had a special guest — Rachel Dratch from Saturday Night Live — who performed a comedy show and spent time talking with everyone afterward.

We laughed until we cried.

By the end of the cruise we all said the same thing:

“If they ever do this again, we’re coming back.”

And now they are.

Uniworld has announced another exclusive Women-Only sailing.

This time the journey is even more spectacular.

Over twelve unforgettable days we’ll travel through:

France
Germany
Switzerland

From the elegance of Paris to the vineyards of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers and the beauty of the Swiss Alps, this itinerary is filled with extraordinary scenery, history, and culture.

This special sailing was thoughtfully created to reflect what women travelers enjoy most.

Wonderful destinations.
Meaningful cultural experiences.
Relaxed time to enjoy each place.
And the camaraderie that naturally develops when women travel together.

Some travelers will come with friends or family.

Many will come on their own.

By the end of the cruise, it will feel like a ship full of friends, it should did last time and I'm still in touch with several of the women I met on that trip.

We’ll also be joined by Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld.

Uniworld is a woman-led company with a majority of female executives, and that spirit of leadership and connection is part of what makes these cruises so special.

Ellen sailed with us on the last Women-Only cruise and was warm, engaging, and present throughout the journey.

This cruise will take place aboard Uniworld’s brand-new Super Ship™, the S.S. Audrey, launching in 2027.

Inspired by the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, the ship will feature:

• beautifully designed staterooms
• luxurious public spaces
• exceptional dining
• the impeccable service Uniworld is known for

Uniworld ships feel more like floating boutique hotels than traditional cruise ships.

This itinerary combines some of the most beautiful regions in Europe.

Our journey begins in the City of Light, where elegant boulevards, cafés, museums, and iconic landmarks set the tone for the adventure ahead.

Germany’s oldest city, filled with Roman ruins and charming historic streets.

A spectacular river landscape where vineyards climb steep hillsides and villages seem untouched by time.

Walk through vineyards, taste local wines, and explore lively wine taverns.

A UNESCO World Heritage region famous for castles, dramatic cliffs, and storybook scenery.

Our journey concludes surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps.

The last Women-Only cruise generated incredible excitement and filled quickly, and it was the first one. This one is sure to fill up even sooner because of all the positive feedback of the last one. I have been waiting to hear about this one.

Apparently the boat is already more than half filled with women who signed up at the end of the last all women's cruise and I've only been allowed to put aside 5 staterooms. There may be more available but I can't hold them for us.

I hope you’ll consider joining us on this wonderful adventure.
