ORLANDO, Fla. (February 5, 2019) – AAA Travel, one of North America’s largest leisure travel agencies, has joined one of the most recognized women in travel television as a sponsor of Samantha Brown’s “Places to Love” on PBS. The show follows along as Samantha visits 27 destinations near and far, highlighting the emotional value of travel and introducing viewers to the people and hidden gems that make each spot unique. The 13-episode second season is airing now ‒ check local listings for dates and times.
This summer, viewers inspired by Samantha’s travels can sail with her on an exclusive river cruise onboard AmaWaterways’ newest ship, AmaMagna. Travelers have the opportunity to join her on the ship for eight days, immediately after she christens the vessel as its ceremonial godmother as it launches in Germany. The itinerary, which includes two travel talks with Samantha, takes travelers through the heart of Europe, from Vilshofen, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary, July 14-21.
“AAA and Samantha Brown share a passion for travel, and we’re excited to help bring to life season two of ‘Places to Love’,” said Bryan Shilling, managing director of AAA Travel Products and Services. “And now travelers can join Samantha Brown for an exclusive sailing onboard the AmaMagna. This incredible opportunity is available just in time for ‘wave season,’ the best time to book a cruise vacation.”
In addition to interactive sessions with Samantha and a personalized gift from the travel expert, the sailing includes immersive tours in every port, including active, regular and late-riser options for exploring; all onboard dining, including special welcome and Captain’s Gala dinners; unlimited fine wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; daily entertainment including cultural performances and more. AAA members also receive $150 onboard spending credit, the services of a AAA host, and AAA Vacations 24/7 member care.
“I am thrilled to be able to host my first cruise on AmaMagna, especially the day after I become her godmother,” said Samantha Brown. “Cruising the Danube has been a dream of mine and I’m counting the days until July 14!”
