Oh I hear you sister, you are S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D. So for a minute I’d like you to imagine setting sail on a journey that’s not just about exploring new destinations but about a radical act of sweet self-care amidst the camaraderie of like-minded women. That dream, is a reality on this Women’s Wellness Cruise, embarking from Budapest to Prague in October 2024, which aims to deliver just that —a sanctuary on the serene waters of the Danube, dedicated to the wellness, luxury, and unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.
On the most recent What She Said I was joined by Sheila Gallant-Halloran of Lush Life Travel who has brought this all together. Designed for mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and solo adventurers, this river cruise is an invitation to step away from the daily hustle and immerse yourself in a world of self-care and connection.
The importance of self-care, especially in the aftermath of recent challenging years, cannot be overstated. It’s a theme I’ve passionately explored here, emphasizing the need to prioritize our well-being. This cruise embodies that philosophy, offering a haven where you can focus on rejuvenation and joy, with a delicious side of cultural immersion.
Sheila’s journey into curating wellness travel experiences, sparked by her clients’ desires for trips centred around health and self-care, led to the birth of this wellness cruise. In partnership with Uniworld, known for their commitment to sustainability and luxury, the cruise is a promise of indulgence in self-care, whether through engaging in sunrise yoga, savouring farm-to-boat cuisine, or simply unwinding on a luxurious bed as the scenic beauty of Europe drifts by.
The destinations—Budapest, Vienna, Prague—are not just stops along the way but gateways to cultural enrichment, historical exploration, and moments of awe. Yet, what truly distinguishes this cruise is the spirit of sisterhood it nurtures among its guests, creating a space for women to reconnect, share stories, and find solace in each other’s company.
For solo travellers contemplating this adventure, the cruise’s solo share program ensures that everyone finds a place within this floating community, making it an ideal setting for forming new, lasting friendships in an intimate and supportive environment.
A river cruise has long been on my bucket list, but after speaking with Sheila, it’s definitely moved way up the list. This Women’s Wellness Cruise stands out as a beacon of what women’s travel should be—a celebration of life, well deserved and often overdue self-care, and the joy of companionship. For those drawn to this remarkable experience, I encourage you to learn more and perhaps embark on this journey of self-discovery and connection.

Embarking on a trip with a group of women is an adventure like no other, filled with shared laughter, understanding, and profound connections. It’s a journey that reminds us of the power of unity, self-care, and the endless possibilities that unfold when we come together.
