About S.S. Bon Voyage
S.S. Bon Voyage is a Uniworld Boutique River Cruises cruise ship, in service since 2006. She carries 124 guests with a crew of 51. We rate her 4.0 out of 5.
S.S. Bon Voyage is a 124-guest river ship, 361 feet (110 m) long, based in Bordeaux for cruises on the Garonne and Dordogne. It entered service in 2006 as River Royale and was redesigned and renamed in 2019 as a Super Ship, with four new suites and every stateroom refitted. The decor is built around French food, wine and art: the emerald-toned Le Salon Champagne bar takes its cue from Yves Saint Laurent's Villa Majorelle, La Brasserie serves bistro dishes, Le Grand Fromage focuses on local cooking, and La Cave des Vins hosts wine-pairing dinners on request. The top Soleil Deck has an infinity pool with the poolside Le Café du Soleil. Most sailings are round trips from Bordeaux, and longer France itineraries continue to Paris, Arles or Lisbon.
