Second ship of the Super Ship class, on board the new S.S. Catherine we find craftsmanship and technological innovation, with custom-designed interiors, meticulous attention to detail, and high-quality materials. In the sumptuous two-story lobby, there is a beautiful staircase made of marble and wrought iron, a prestigious Murano glass chandelier, and a life-size glass horse! Both the common areas and the cabins are furnished with comfortable armchairs and rich draperies, soft pillows, and bath linens in plush cotton.
Available to guests are 4 decks, the Cézanne restaurant, the Van Gogh Lounge with its bar, and at the bow, there is the Matisse Terrace to enjoy open-air navigation. The 24-hour coffee station for tea and coffee is located on the Camargue deck, where the pool and its bar are also located. The laundry room, gym, and Coffee Shop are instead on the Saint Remy deck. The sun deck allows the lucky 159 guests of the S.S. Catherine to enjoy ample shaded areas to admire the navigation along the river or to sunbathe on the comfortable loungers at their disposal.

On Board the S.S. Catherine: French Elegance on the Rhône
Sailing aboard the S.S. Catherine felt like staying in a luxury boutique hotel gently floating along the Rhône. The interiors are tastefully decorated, blending contemporary art with classic touches, and every detail contributes to a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The service was one of the highlights—always discreet yet attentive, with friendly and professional staff. I especially appreciated the restaurant, where every dinner felt like a special occasion, featuring dishes inspired by French tradition and carefully selected local wines. The indoor pool and the small spa added the perfect touch of relaxation. Ideal for those who appreciate understated beauty and high-end comfort.
