The weekly series, now in its seventh season, takes viewers on immersive journeys around the globe. It’s broadcast on nationally syndicated television in over 40+ cities and is hosted by travel expert Denella Ri’chard, a travel industry insider who held leadership positions in large travel companies. Traveling with Denella Ri’chard is also available to stream on GoTraveler, GFNtv, and Tubi, and available to U.S. military forces in 168 countries on American Forces Network. Plus, it is shared with 180,000 travel advisors on VAX: Vacation Access, where leisure travel advisors can “earn, learn, and grow.”
The episode focuses on the Mediterranean in the off season, specifically on a voyage from Barcelona to Rome in the winter, where Windstar’s small size allows it to dock in unique harbors and locations that are inaccessible for larger ships. Windstar is one of the only small ships to sail year-round in the Mediterranean.
Ri’chard calls Windstar’s Star Legend a “luxurious and comfortable sanctuary,” which takes her on an off-season travel experience through Spain, France, and Italy.
She showcases Windstar’s signature sail away event, the welcoming crew, and the line’s award-winning culinary program - including its partnership with the James Beard Foundation and small-group outings to shop with the Windstar chef to seek out local, seasonal ingredients. A tour of the Owner’s Suite gives a glimpse into one of the yacht’s most luxurious spaces; while a peek in the ship’s spa reveals the expansive space and services including the complimentary cozy heated lounge chairs, experience shower, steam room and spa.
Ri’chard also comments on the ease and quality of Windstar’s shore excursions, as well as the ability to explore on one’s own, including gems like finding hot chocolate in Marseilles, taking in the impressive Leaning Tower of Pisa, and marveling at the Sagrada Familia.
