Former "Saturday Night Live" star Rachel Dratch will bring her comedic talent onboard Uniworld Boutique River Cruises' inaugural Women-Only Cruise, sailing through France on the S.S. Catherine beginning Aug. 24.
Dratch, an award-winning actor, comedian and author known for her iconic characters including "Debbie Downer," will perform a special comedy set and participate in a question-and-answer session with guests during the voyage.
"We are beyond excited to welcome the incredibly talented and hilarious Rachel Dratch aboard our special Women-Only Cruise," said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld. "This cruise is all about bringing women together to share new experiences, create friendships and enjoy plenty of laughter along the way. Rachel is the perfect fit for what promises to be an unforgettable trip, and I'm looking forward to being onboard to host her and all of our guests on this sailing."
Beyond her SNL career, Dratch has appeared in numerous television shows and films including "King of Queens," "30 Rock," "Shameless," "Bob's Burgers," "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," "Click," "Just Go with It" and "Wine Country." She recently made her Broadway debut in "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," receiving a Tony nomination for her performance as Stephanie. Dratch is also the author of a critically acclaimed memoir.
The itinerary includes exclusive excursions not typically available, such as a Candlelight Concert in Lyon, a visit to the International Shoe Museum and viewing the ancient Roman aqueduct of Nimes illuminated at night. Guests can also enjoy lavender weaving, truffle hunting and a scenic bike ride to the Chartreuse.
Onboard activities include chocolate and wine pairing events, burlesque sessions and a luxurious pajama party. Like all Uniworld voyages, the cruise is fully all-inclusive with farm-to-table dining and unlimited premium wine and spirits.
