What if I told you there was a way to take an unforgettable vacation, with some of your closest friends, and, as a result, the nonprofit organization you support would receive a donation?!

Well, you can! And here’s now… River cruising!

River cruising has been growing by leaps and bounds the last several years. I would imagine that most of you already have a river cruise on your bucket list and those who don’t definitely know someone who does. I took my first river cruise in November and got to experience the Danube at a very magical time. Imagine walking up to the Melk Abbey as big, soft snowflakes land on your eyelashes. A cruise through the Wachau Valley as the banks have the perfect dusting of white. And, of course, the beauty and enchantment of the Christmas markets, lit to perfection, in the city centers along the way. Every stop, every town I was being introduced to by our local guides, was fascinating. And getting the opportunity to visit my grandmother’s homeland of Czechoslovakia (I visited the Czech Republic and Slovakia just to be safe ☺), was a very moving experience that I’ll never forget. All while traveling aboard a luxury cruise ship with first class accommodations, food prepared by award-winning chefs and a top-notch staff that serves under a 1/3.3 staff to passenger ratio! To describe the experience as perfect, honestly would not even do it justice.

Now, imagine offering this kind of experience to your friends as a way to give back to your community. We have partnered with two of the leading river cruise lines to offer a fundraising program to nonprofit entities. As a nonprofit, you can sponsor a group booking for an upcoming river cruise and receive a 5% donation back to your organization.*

If you or a group you are associated with are looking for a new and exciting way to raise money, please contact me at 405.615.4805 or heather@thejoyoftravel.net to discuss the possibilities! Every river, every itinerary, has its own uniqueness, its own beauty. Let’s work together to select the perfect fit for your group.
