Louisiane's boutique cruises include an excursion in every port, plus optional Curator Collection Experiences
Lee Lennon, who has 25 years of experience designing land programs for upscale companies like The World, Seabourn and Silversea Cruises, is working with French America Line, the new boutique river cruise operator that will soon launch Louisiane in the US.

Lennon called it 'an exciting project, and I think it will be a wonderful experience for US river cruising.'

She's assisting French America Line as a consultant, developing the customized shore excursions and pre-/post-cruise hotel program, as well as cultural and historical enrichment programming. The line includes a pre-cruise hotel overnight and a Traveler Collection guided shore excursion in each port. Optional Curator Collection and pre- and post-cruise experiences are available, too.

Lennon owns the boutique Vituoso travel company, Travel by Design.

Earlier she directed destination and enrichment programs for The World, and previously was director of destination services for Seabourn. Other roles were managing shore excursions for Silversea and Abercrombie & Kent project manager for The World. At American Classic Voyages she gained river cruise expertise.

Other positions were with Cunard, Royal Viking Line and Norwegian Cruise Line.
