Secrets of Egypt & the Nile
December 7, 2026 for 11 Nights
3 Nights Cairo • 7-Night Nile River Cruise • 1 Night Cairo
I am thrilled to announce this bucket list adventure, a luxurious journey through Egypt and along the legendary Nile River with AmaWaterways. Together, we’ll explore the timeless wonders of this ancient land, guided by expert Egyptologists who bring its history to life.
We’ll stand before the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx, wander through the Grand Egyptian Museum, and descend into the Valley of the Kings and Queens where history feels close enough to touch. Along the way, we’ll enjoy exclusive experiences, like a private lunch at the regal Abdeen Presidential Palace, and relax in style aboard AmaWaterways’ luxurious river ship.
This is more than a trip, it’s a journey into the heart of one of the world’s most fascinating civilizations. If Egypt has ever been on your dream list, I invite you to join me for this unforgettable hosted experience.

From Outlander filming locations to guided city walks and optional whisky tastings or nightlife, this trip is thoughtfully designed for travelers who want more than just a dance weekend, they want a meaningful experience in one of the world’s most captivating countries.
Bonnie Scotland Adventure
Paris. Monet's gardens. Medieval castles. Normandy's D-Day beaches. Charming French towns. And seven nights sailing through the French countryside aboard an Avalon Waterways Suite Ship®.
I've wanted to experience more of this part of France for years, and in July 2027, I'm finally doing it. Even better, I'm putting together a group to experience it with me!
We'll begin with three nights in Paris, exploring some of my favorite places in a city I never get tired of visiting. Then we'll board our Avalon Waterways river cruise and travel from Paris through Normandy, with an incredible variety of included experiences along the way.
