What better way to cruise through France than in the company of Canadian award-winning entertainer, Jann Arden? This special departure sails along the Seine from Paris to the scenic and historic Normandy coast, where guests will spend the day with Jann while learning about Canada’s involvement on the battlefields of Europe. Guests on this cruise will also enjoy a separate photo op with Jann, a CD signing session and a private concert on board. Jann, who is the godmother of an Avalon ship and a fan of river cruising, will be on board for four days and looks forward to being a part of this very special sailing, available to only 128 lucky passengers!
