Littleton, Colo. – September 14, 2021 – Today, Avalon Waterways announced that it has expanded its Storyteller series Includes a The new “All For You” cruise features the Hazel sisters. This exclusive Storyteller Series sailing from Frankfurt to Amsterdam will take the Hazels on a cruise through time and stories as they wind their way through hillside castles, terraced vineyards and medieval towns along the Rhine with their favorite bands. As guest hosts of the Avalon Waterways Storyteller Series, the Hazels join other world-renowned storytellers including Candace Bushnell, Cheryl Strayed, Gillian Flynn, Edwin McCain and Christopher Moore. Diana Gabaldon’s cruise will depart on October 30, 2021 and is sold out.
Inviting travelers to turn the page on their holiday plans, these celebrity-hosted itineraries journey through storybook settings, allowing travel enthusiasts to spend a week in Europe with chart-topping singers to capture the inside stories beyond novels, scripts and lyrics.
“Our exclusive Talker Series invites visitors to embark on an incredible ‘Once Upon a River’ vacation,” said Pam Hoffey, General Manager of Avalon Waterways. “Fans of our celebrity hosts will be treated to a week-long special gathering that will include book signings, concerts and Q&A sessions, not to mention impromptu opportunities to interact with the hosts themselves.”
Avalon Waterways’ new Storyteller series will be available on Europe’s most popular waterways – the Rhine, Danube and Seine – as the river cruise line’s top-rated itineraries sailing aboard its award-winning suite ships.
Here’s what the celebrity storytellers who took part in this series of cruises said:
- “We haven’t had too many firsts in our careers. Playing our music for our fans on a Rhine River cruise is an experience we never imagined. We are grateful for this opportunity and excited for the experience!” – Jett Beres, Sister Hazel (new All for you cruise)
- “One of life’s greatest joys is its surroundings, and what better way to enjoy art, history, food, and friendship than on a cruise on the Seine, a magical waterway that has enchanted and inspired since the Middle Ages. This Avalon Vitality & Discovery cruise will transport you through the centuries without sacrificing the comfort of the present. Can’t wait to embark on this journey with you.” – Candace Bushnell （Sex and the City cruise)
- “Travel has always been a source of inspiration and energy for me, and I can’t think of a better place to seek (and find) both than on the legendary Danube. I’m excited to sail from Budapest to Deggendorf on an Avalon Active & Discovery cruise, and I’m especially excited to be traveling 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 Water Fantasy cruise)
- “Growing up on a river in the middle of America, I have always been fascinated by the beauty and symbolism of rivers: movement, change, and possibility. So I was very excited to join Avalon Waterways’ Danube Vitality Discovery Cruise to explore a world I had yet to explore, learning and enjoying every day with true travel companions.” – Gillian Flynn （Lost lover! cruise)
- “Nothing inspires the imagination like travel; a cruise allows you to enjoy art, culture and history, and lets your imagination soar to the highest realms of invention. I can’t wait to share the joy of exploration with other travelers.” – Christopher Moore （Storybook scenes, irony and satire cruise)
- “As a history buff, I am thrilled to be a part of this once in a lifetime experience. What I love most about performing is when it is the most intimate. This cruise will provide such a wonderful setting. Really looking forward to sharing an incredible journey with everyone.” – Edwin McCain （I will…Romanticize the Rhine cruise)
