Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gauguin on this exquisite journey through southern France. Come aboard and enjoy Uniworld's boutique river cruise experience!
Cruise the Rhône and Saône rivers, enjoying the region’s incomparable wine and cuisine and discovering its many treasures. Stroll the very streets of Arles made famous by Van Gogh.

And for those who wish for a more active exploration of the area, you can hike the vineyards of the Rhône and pedal through Lyon, a city designed with bike riders in mind.
