Riverside Luxury Cruises has chosen Emmy award-winning host, producer and travel advisor Alle Pierce as the godmother of its newest ship, Riverside Debussy.
Pierce is the founder of travel company Gals Abroad Getaways, which organises group trips for women travelling solo.
“Being named the godmother of Riverside Debussy is a profound honour,” said Pierce. “Growing up with a mother who is a distinguished luxury travel advisor, river cruising has been an integral part of our shared travel story. I am confident that Riverside Debussy will offer travellers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting tapestry of northwest Europe, a region that holds a special place in my heart.”
The christening for Riverside Debussy will be held on 13 March during the 2024 American Society of Travel Advisors River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where Riverside Luxury Cruises will exhibit the ship. Riverside Debussy is the third ship to enter service for the river cruise line and will sail itineraries along the Rhine River from 23 March.
“Alle’s extensive experience and infectious enthusiasm for travel makes her the perfect godmother for Riverside Debussy,” said Jen Halboth, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises. “Her mission to empower women to travel and her support of travel advisors is an inspiration for the industry, if not for everyone. We cannot wait to for Alle to christen Riverside Debussy and launch Riverside Luxury Cruises’ third luxury river ship.”
