Well, boys, this Christmas cruise is turning into quite the party!

I'm thrilled to tell you that we now have 31 travelers booked on our December 1–7, 2027, Christmas Markets River Cruise!

That's more than a quarter of the entire ship! And we're not finished yet.

What started as an idea for a fabulous European holiday getaway has grown into one of our most exciting group adventures. And with more than a year to go, we're already building quite the traveling family!

But here's why I'm bringing this up today.

There are still a handful of cabins available, including some of those gorgeous Panorama Suites. If you've been thinking about joining us, now is the time to make your decision. I'd hate for you to miss out because you waited just a little too long.

Seven Days. Five Stops. One Magical Danube Christmas!

December 1–7, 2027 | Nuremberg to Vienna

Picture this: You're strolling through a centuries-old European Christmas market, surrounded by twinkling lights, wooden stalls overflowing with handmade treasures, and the intoxicating smells of gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, and mulled wine.

Maybe there's a little snow falling. Maybe you're holding a steaming mug of something delicious. And maybe you're thinking, "Why on earth didn't I do this years ago?"

This is my first-ever Christmas Markets River Cruise, and I'm going all in!

We'll sail aboard the beautiful Avalon Impression, a luxury river ship designed for travelers who appreciate comfort, great food, attentive service, and spectacular views.

Our itinerary takes us from Nuremberg to Regensburg, Passau, Melk Abbey, and Vienna, with opportunities to explore some of Europe's most enchanting Christmas destinations.

And here's the beauty of river cruising:

You unpack once. That's it. No dragging suitcases through train stations, changing hotels, or figuring out how to get from one city to the next.

You enjoy your day, return to your floating hotel, have a wonderful dinner, perhaps enjoy a drink with new friends, and wake up ready for another adventure.

A Little Luxury Goes a Long Way!

Most of our travelers have chosen the Panorama Suites, and I can't blame them.

These beautiful accommodations feature Avalon's signature wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows. Imagine waking up, opening your curtains, and watching the European countryside glide past your bed.

Of course, we also have Deluxe Staterooms for travelers who would rather spend a little less on accommodations and a little more on Christmas shopping!

Cruise pricing:

• Deluxe Stateroom — $4,065 per person
• Panorama Suite — $5,865 per person

And here's what I love about Avalon: So much is already included!

All your meals, included excursions, onboard gratuities, port charges, taxes, Starlink Wi-Fi, wine and beer with lunch and dinner, and even evening Happy Hour.

No worrying about how much every meal or excursion is going to cost. Just enjoy yourself.

31 Travelers Are Coming. Are You Number 32?

Here's what makes this trip particularly special to me.

We've already filled more than a quarter of the Avalon Impression with our own travelers!

That means plenty of familiar faces, new friendships waiting to happen, and wonderful people to share these experiences with.

We're not chartering the entire ship, so we'll be sailing alongside other Avalon guests. But with 31 of us already booked, we'll certainly have a wonderful group of our own!

And remember, this is our first Dorothy Travel voyage, which means everyone is welcome.

Your best girlfriend? Bring her!

That married couple you've known forever? Invite them!

Your friend who's always dreamed of seeing Europe's Christmas markets but doesn't want to travel alone? This might be exactly what they've been waiting for.

All genders. All backgrounds. No nudity required.

Just great people enjoying a beautiful part of the world together.

Don't Miss the Boat. Literally!

A $500 deposit per person is all it takes to reserve your cabin.

That deposit goes directly toward your cruise balance. It's not an additional fee.

Once you're booked, I'll personally connect you with our Globus sales manager, who will help coordinate your payments.

And because we're traveling in December 2027, you've still got plenty of time to plan and pay for your adventure.

But having plenty of time to pay doesn't mean we have plenty of cabins left!

We've got 31 travelers confirmed, and only a handful of cabins remain available for our group, including Panorama Suites.

If you've been sitting on the fence, consider this your friendly little nudge.

I'd love to have you with us. Truly. But now is the time to make your decision.

I'm Ready! Let's Get My Cabin Reserved!

There's something magical about seeing Europe at Christmastime. And there's something even better about sharing that magic with people you enjoy.

I've spent decades bringing people together through travel, and I can tell you that the friendships, laughter, and memories we make along the way are every bit as wonderful as the destinations themselves.

Thirty-one travelers already know where they'll be next December.

I'd love for you to be one of them.

Take care, stay bare,
