2. River Cruise Corner - Board Here for Boundless Adventure with Avalon Waterways

Cruise the World Differently — With Avalon Waterways

Adventure doesn't have to mean roughing it — sometimes, it looks like a luxuriously soft bed facing a wall of windows that open to the world. 🌍✨

With Avalon Waterways, you'll experience boundless adventure where luxury and exploration go hand in hand.
 

On Avalon’s Suite Ships®, your Panorama Suite transforms into an open-air balcony — bringing river breezes and breathtaking views right to your bed.

🌿 Whether you're floating past ancient castles along the Rhine, sipping world-class wine in Bordeaux, or tracing history along the Danube, every Avalon journey is designed to immerse you in the heart of the destination — not just float by it.

🌟 Highlights include:

Active & Discovery Cruises with kayaking, e-biking, and culinary tours

Flexible excursion choices — traditional sightseeing, hands-on workshops, or free time to explore

Boutique-hotel style staterooms with beds facing the view — not the wall

✨ Book with Sheila Gallant-Halloran of Lush Life Travel, your trusted Virtuoso Cruise Icon, and let’s design your perfect Avalon experience.

Because adventure isn’t about taking the path most traveled — it’s about opening yourself to a world of possibility, comfort, and discovery.

6B. Travel with Sheila: 2025 Women's River Cruise to Paris & Normandy

Travel With Sheila: A Women’s River Cruise to Paris & Normandy – November 2025. Limited cabins just released at near-2024 pricing!

If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it.
I’m thrilled to be hosting another unforgettable women-focused river cruise, sailing the Seine from Paris to Normandy in November 2025—and I’ve just secured exclusive new pricing!

While 2025 fares had climbed, I’ve negotiated private sale savings of up to $1,500 per person, bringing rates nearly back to 2024 levels. Those already booked still hold the best pricing—but now, new bookings can get exceptional value too.

And good news: I may have a solo cabin or two available. These go fast, so don’t wait if you’ve been considering joining us.

What’s Already Sold Out:
    •    Categories C (French balcony), D & E (fixed window cabins) 

Current Availability – Twin Balcony Staterooms:
    •    Category B – $6,157/person (double) or $8,429 (solo)
    •    Category A – $6,276/person (double) or $8,574 (solo)

These are private sale rates—about $1,500/person less than public market pricing. (Cruise booking and management fees are additional.)

Why This Cruise?
✨ Paris – Timeless, magical, and endlessly inspiring
✨ Normandy – Home to Monet’s Giverny, Honfleur’s charm, Joan of Arc’s legacy, and the powerful D-Day beaches
✨ Remembrance Day Tribute – Thoughtfully guided tours to Canadian or American sites on November 11
✨ Château de Bizy – The Versailles of Normandy

While this is a women-focused sailing, couples—whether same-sex or mixed—are absolutely welcome. The women’s theme relates to optional morning gatherings focused on community-building, and many partners join in later for excursions, dining, and relaxation (yes, several husbands are already booked!).

Cruise Snapshot:
    •    Cruise Line: AMA Waterways (luxurious AmaDante)
    •    Sailing Dates: November 8–15, 2025
    •    Pre-Cruise Option: Add 2 nights in Paris
    •    Itinerary: Roundtrip from Paris along the Seine
