Avalon Waterways has confirmed that the luxury river cruise line will be featured in the latest series of Channel 5's popular travelogue, 'Cruising with Jane McDonald'. Viewers will see the TV celebrity and ex-cruise ship entertainer exploring Burgundy & Provence on the modern and sleek cruise ship, Avalon Poetry II.
The Suite Ship's lavender coloured interior design is the perfect backdrop to the episode which will show cruise fanatic, Jane McDonald sail along the beautiful Rhône from Lyon to Arles as she experiences the region's incredible scenery, medieval towns, areas of natural beauty, and of course, France's gourmet capital, Lyon.
Giles Hawke, Avalon's UK Managing Director commented, “We're delighted Channel 5 chose to film such a beautiful area as Burgundy and Provence, sailing the River Rhône on board Avalon's Suite Ship, Avalon Poetry II. The first series generated huge interest around the cruises it featured, and I'm sure the second series will have the same effect.”
The Avalon film is due to be televised on Channel 5 at 9pm, Friday 22 September 2017.
