uniworld river cruises on the rhone

Sailing through Burgundy and Provence

Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin on this exquisite journey through the south of France; the same beautiful countryside and culture that inspired the teachers will now inspire you.

Cruise the Rhone and Saone rivers, enjoy the region's unparalleled wine and cuisine, and discover its many treasures, from the UNESCO-listed medieval wonders of Avignon to the lively riverbanks of Lyon. Stroll the same streets of Arles that Van Gogh made famous. Visit the majestic Palace of the Popes in Avignon. Experience "Village Day" at charming Viviers, including a recital of music by Bach and Handel. And for those who want a more active exploration of the area, they can kayak on the tranquil River Gardon under the Pont du Gard; walk through the steepest vineyards of the Rhone; and pedal through the city designed with cyclists in mind while in Lyon. Explore the unforgettable "Burgundy and Provence", where tradition is as ingrained as the historic vines in the hills.
