Bar du Leopard

There are many fantastic social spaces on board the S.S. Catherine, but the one that stands out the most is the ship’s distinctive Bar du Leopard. There are comfortable leopard print sofas and stylish leather armchairs in this spacious saloon, which is rich with textures and materials, and even a life-size bronze leopard head adorning the bar – dull this place certainly isn’t! The most surprising feature, however, is the glass-encased swimming pool. The low-slung bridges along the Rhone make top-deck swimming pools difficult to achieve but the ship’s impressive nautical architecture means that nothing is missed. Come here for a cocktail, have a dance or chill out during the day – this space is a multi-functional masterpiece.

Accommodation options

A cruise on board the S.S. Catherine truly offers something for everyone. Each cabin, from the most modest Category 5 single cabin to the impressive Royal Suite, offers flat screen TVs, generous built-in closets and sleek marble en-suite bathrooms complete with L’Occitane en Provence bath products that are perfect after a long day of exploring. Whichever option is right for you, you can be sure of an exceptionally comfortable stay.

Versatile Itineraries Tailored to You

With a choice of itineraries lasting anything from eight to 22 days, a cruise on the S.S. Catherine offers you the chance to see the finest sights of France at your leisure. Flowing through France’s gastronomical heartlands, you will have ample opportunity to sample the local fare both on board and on shore. Pleasing the palate isn’t the only exceptional thing on the Rhone though. There are exquisite landscapes to view and great cultural heritage sites to explore before returning to your sumptuous floating hotel. You’ll want to go again and again.
