“Our exclusive Storyteller Series “We invite guests to embark on an incredible ‘Tale of the River’ vacation,” said Pam Hoffee, Managing Director of Avalon Waterways. “With no more than 160 fellow guests, fans of our celebrity hosts will have the opportunity to attend a week of special gatherings, from book signings to concerts and Q&A sessions, not to mention impromptu opportunities to interact with the hosts.”
Avalon Waterways’ new Storyteller Series will be available on Europe’s most popular waterways – the Rhine, Danube and Seine – and sail on its award-winning suite ships on the river cruise line’s highest-rated itineraries.
Regarding this series of cruises, celebrities involved in the story said:
- “We haven’t had many firsts in our careers so far. Playing our music to our fans on a Rhine River cruise is an experience none of us could have imagined. We are grateful for the opportunity and excited for the experience!” – Jett Bales (as Sister Hazel) (new everything for you cruise)
- “One of the joys of life is the environment, and what better backdrop than enjoying art, history, gastronomy and camaraderie on the Seine, a magical waterway that has mesmerized and inspired since the Middle Ages. This Avalon Active and Discovery cruise ship will allow you to flow between centuries without leaving the comfort of the present. Can’t wait to embark on this journey with you.” – Candace Bushnell (city of sex and light cruise)
- “Travel has long been a source of inspiration and rejuvenation for me, and I can’t imagine a better place to seek (and discover) both than the legendary Danube River. I’m beyond excited to sail from Budapest to Deggendorf on Avalon Active & Discovery, and I’m especially excited to travel with a group of like-minded travelers. Together we’ll explore, connect, relax, and revel in the wild beauty that every adventure brings.” – Cheryl Strayed (Wild and whimsical on the water cruise)
- “I grew up on a river in the middle of the United States and have always been fascinated by their beauty and what they symbolize: movement, change, and possibility. So I’m really excited to spend my time on the Danube River on Avalon Waterways’ Active & Discovery cruise, learning and enjoying every day with real travelers in a part of the world I have yet to explore.” – Gillian Flynn (The missing girl! cruise)
- “Nothing sparks the imagination like travel; a cruise allows you to enjoy art, culture and history, easily unleashing your imagination and soaring to the greatest heights of invention. I can’t wait to share the joy of discovery with other travelers.” – Christopher Moore (Storybook landscapes, satire and satire cruise)
- “As a history buff, I’m excited to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. My favorite shows are the most intimate ones. This cruise will provide such a wonderful setting. Really looking forward to sharing an incredible trip with everyone.” – Edwin McCain (I will… Romance the Rhine cruise)
