Bar du Leopard

There are many fantastic social spaces onboard 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. The most surprising feature, however, is the glass-encased swimming pool. The low-slung bridges along the Rhône river make top-deck swimming pools difficult to achieve but the ship’s impressive nautical architecture makes it possible to take in the scenery as the ship sails past. Come here for a cocktail, have a dance or chill out during the day, this space is a multi-functional masterpiece.

Whichever option is right for you, you can be sure of an exceptionally comfortable stay.
