European River Cruise Company Showcase

Dear friends,

Do you ever wonder how we know what we know about individual brands and destinations? The answer is simple, we go.

The American Society of Travel Advisors is an organization we are very proud to be members of. They have begun offering an annual event showcasing European river cruise companies all in one place. I missed it last year because I was onboard my own ship (our full ship charter) experiencing that amazing Tulip Time itinerary.

In 2023, not only did I make the time to go, but three of my other agents did as well. Doreen Kyle, Meredith Carrell and Leigh Ann Lane will be there, too.

Avalon, AMA, Viking, Scenic, Uniworld, Tauck and Emerald...all of the names you've heard of in one place with their ships open, their chefs cooking, and their staff ready for our inspections.

The event is being held in Budapest, a city I know and love. The four of us are coming in a few days early to enjoy the thermal baths, see the sights, and get over the jet lag before those in-depth meetings begin on March 15.

Here at The Joy of Travel, we have our favorites. But we always want to put the right customer in the right product, and you can't do that without knowing the full range of products out there.

Keep following our Facebook pages. Thank you for liking and sharing our posts. We will be posting lots of pics and keeping you in the loop as we continue to attend various highly specified events.

Your Globetrotting Friend,
Joy
