The Cruise Retreat Podcast

You have been recently hearing me geek out about all the benefits of river cruising in July.  Today's episode is extra special because I actually recorded it while docked in France on my recent river cruise.  I also have on an amazing guest, the Chief Marketing Officer of AmaWaterways, Janet Bava. 

Together we do some more geeking out on the best kept travel secret, why AmaWaterways is the best to partner with on your next company or business retreat, and how my partnership with them benefits you and your retreat attendees. Enjoy!
