The Last Girls by Lee Smith? It's about several women who went down the Mississippi on a raft some years ago and are now doing the trip by cruise boat.

Could be The last girls by Lee Smith
From Amazon:
"In the brisk and readable The Last Girls, acclaimed Southern writer Lee
Smith reunites four college suitemates on a boat tour of the mighty
Mississippi. Thirty-five years before, inspired by reading Twain's
Huckleberry Finn in class (a detail not nearly revisited enough), the women
floated down the same river on a manmade raft; now they are gathered at the
request of their recently deceased ringleader's husband"
