Comedian Rachel Dratch will take the stage on Uniworld Boutique River Cruise’s first ever all woman cruise. 

Dratch, best known for her hilarious Saturday Night Live characters, is also an author and actor. She will be performing a special comedy set and participating in a Q & A session for the passengers of the S.S. Catherine during the women-only cruise through Burgundy and Provence. 

“We are beyond excited to welcome the incredibly talented and hilarious Rachel Dratch aboard our special Women-Only Cruise,” says Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld. “This cruise is all about bringing women together to share new experiences, create friendships and enjoy plenty of laughter along the way.  Rachel is the perfect fit for what promises to be an unforgettable trip, and I’m looking forward to being onboard to host her and all of our guests on this sailing.”

The themed cruise sets out on Aug. 24, 2025. In addition to the performance by Dratch, guests of the cruise can participate in offshore excursions not regularly found on the itinerary, such as a Candlelight Concert in Lyon, a visit to the International Shoe Museum and a trip to the ancient Roman aqueduct of Nîmes at night for a spectacular light show. According to Uniworld, other excursion highlights include lavender weaving, truffle hunting and a scenic bike ride to the Chartreuse. Additional onboard programming highlights include a decadent chocolate and wine pairing event, burlesque sessions and a luxurious pajama party. Like all Uniworld sailings, the Women-Only Cruise is fully all-inclusive, offering farm-to-table dining and unlimited premium wine and spirits.
