River Cruise Radio

This week I had a chance to chat with Vanessa Lee, river cruise expert, and Godmother of the Avalon Vista.

We chat about: Being a Godmother of a river cruise ship  Where she thinks river cruising is going  Are world events causing people to hedge with river cruising   Terri Burke has been on both side of the cruise industry, once on the consumer side and now on the operations side as Managing Director of Avalon Waterways.
