The late summer voyage would host Uniworld’s first women-only cruise, starting at $5,000 per person.

That’s according to luxury travel agency Virtuoso’s latest trends report, which surveyed its more than 20,000 member advisors.

Amid this movement, Melissa Krueger, CEO of high-end travel wholesaler Classic Vacations, told Business Insider that trips designed specifically for groups of women have become a “notable trend.”

Philippa Girling, CEO and cofounder of Camp Château, told BI in early September that the 2025 dates for her six-day, women-only summer retreats in southern France have accrued a 13,000-person waitlist.

Back in the States, the number of attendees at this year’s annual three-day women-only Camp Social grew fourfold from 2023 to about 480 guests in 2024.

Similarly, Uniworld’s president and CEO, Ellen Bettridge, told BI that she expects the guests on its first women-only voyage to be solo cruisers, intergenerational families, and groups of gal pals.

Like any river cruise company, Uniworld’s vessels are markedly smaller than its ocean-based counterparts.

The ship of choice for its no-boys-allowed voyage, S.S. Catherine, is one of its larger options. It measures 443 feet long and accommodates 158 guests.

S.S. Catherine would then visit French riverside destinations like Avignon, Viviers, and Mâcon before concluding in Lyon.

Throughout the eight days, guests would participate in excursions and activities such as truffle hunting, scenic bicycle rides, lavender weaving, and “burlesque sessions.”

The cost then ranges up to $10,500 for a suite, although the more expensive options are already sold out.

The prices may be relatively steep, but as an all-inclusive cruise line, it would include airport transfers, excursions, and alcohol — perfect for sip-and-yap sessions with the girls.
