Accommodations
Accommodation on S.S. Bon Voyage feels contemporary yet warm, with interiors that draw subtly on French design influences without becoming overly ornate. The overall effect is one of understated luxury, with spaces that feel polished, comfortable, and inviting, whether for a brief rest or a quiet afternoon.
The Classic Stateroom offers a compact yet thoughtfully designed base, where everything is arranged with practicality in mind. These rooms work particularly well for guests who prioritise time out exploring, offering a comfortable and restful place to return to at the end of the day.
With a little more room to relax, the Deluxe Staterooms introduce a greater sense of openness. The additional space allows for a more leisurely feel, making it easier to unwind and settle into the rhythm of the journey.
The introduction of French Balcony Staterooms changes the experience entirely, bringing the outside in through full-height windows that open to the river. This connection to the scenery adds a lightness to the space, allowing you to enjoy passing vineyards, villages and waterways from the comfort of your room.
For a more elevated stay, the Suites offer a noticeably more generous layout, with room to sit, read or simply pause between excursions. These spaces feel more like a private retreat, ideal for longer sailings where comfort becomes part of the overall experience.
The Grand Suites represent the most spacious option onboard, offering a refined and indulgent environment. With their larger proportions and more considered layout, they provide a sense of calm and privacy that feels distinctly set apart from the rest of the ship.
Activities & Entertainment
Days aboard S.S. Bon Voyage are shaped by a slower, more immersive pace. Much of the experience unfolds naturally, guided by the destinations themselves.
Time ashore plays a central role, with shore excursions offering access to some of the most celebrated wine regions and culturally rich towns in France. Whether exploring historic streets or visiting vineyards, these experiences bring a strong sense of authenticity to the journey.
Back on board, the atmosphere shifts towards relaxation and social connection. Le Salon Champagne on the Bordeaux Deck provides a refined yet easy-going setting where guests can gather over a glass of something sparkling. It’s a space that feels distinctly French in character and one that naturally becomes a focal point for conversation and shared moments.
Food & Drink
Dining aboard S.S. Bon Voyage is rooted in the culinary traditions of southwestern France, with an emphasis on regional flavours, seasonal ingredients and carefully paired wines. The experience feels both refined and relaxed, allowing guests to enjoy the richness of Bordeaux’s food and wine culture throughout their journey.
At the heart of the experience is Le Grand Fromage, the ship’s main restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in an elegant yet welcoming setting. Menus often highlight the cuisine of the region, with dishes inspired by local specialities alongside a selection of international favourites. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared and served at a comfortable pace, creating a dining experience that feels both indulgent and unhurried.
For a more informal alternative, La Brasserie offers a relaxed setting for lighter meals and casual dining. It’s an easy-going space that works particularly well during the day, providing flexibility without compromising on quality or flavour. The Pantry, located nearby, adds further convenience with a selection of light bites and refreshments available throughout the day. Whether you’re looking for something simple between excursions or a quick snack, it offers a practical and welcoming option.
Wine naturally takes centre stage on this itinerary, and Le Cave des Vins has been designed to reflect the importance of Bordeaux’s winemaking heritage. This intimate space is dedicated to wine tastings and experiences, giving guests the opportunity to explore regional vintages and gain a deeper appreciation of the area’s renowned vineyards.
Completing the experience, Le Salon Champagne provides a sophisticated setting for drinks, whether enjoyed before dinner or later in the evening. With its elegant surroundings and carefully curated selection of beverages, it offers the perfect place to unwind and reflect on the day.
Relaxation & Fitness
Relaxation is centred around its open spaces, particularly the Soleil Deck, where the atmosphere naturally slows. With uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscapes, this is where many guests choose to spend time between excursions, whether enjoying the sunshine or simply watching the river drift by. The Infinity Pool adds to this experience, offering a refreshing place to cool off while remaining fully immersed in the scenery.
For a quieter and more restorative setting, the Serenity River Spa provides a calm, enclosed environment where guests can enjoy a range of treatments. It’s a space designed for unwinding after time spent ashore, offering a peaceful contrast to the more open areas of the ship.
The Fitness Centre offers a practical space for those who wish to stay active during their journey. While compact, it is equipped for light workouts, providing a convenient option for maintaining your routine while travelling.
