For the second year in a row, a river ship will be christened during the ASTA River Cruise Expo, care of Riverside Luxury Cruises. This year the honor will go to Emmy Award-winning host, producer, and travel expert Alle Pierce, who has been named godmother of Riverside Debussy.
Pierce will name the ship on March 13 in Amsterdam during a small pier-side ceremony at the third annual ASTA River Cruise Expo.
“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 inspiration for the industry, if not for everyone.”
Riverside Debussy is Riverside’s third ship to enter service and will offer guests sailings on the Rhine River starting March 23.
Pierce is the founder of Gals Abroad Getaways, which organizes group trips for independent women, as well as an Emmy Award-winning host and producer.
“Being named the godmother of Riverside Debussy is a profound honor,” Pierce said. “Growing up with a mother who is a distinguished luxury travel advisor, river cruising has been an integral part of our shared travel story.”
