Award-winning travel television series Traveling With Denella, hosted by travel broadcast journalist and travel expert Denella Ri’chard, returns for a ninth season with the theme “Stories Worth the Journey,” and expands with a new podcast.
Traveling With Denella’s ninth season focuses on diving deep into a destination and discovering the stories, people, traditions, and experiences that truly turn a place into a meaningful destination. The new season will also feature cruise experiences.
“Travel is about more than just the places we visit,” says Ri’chard. “It’s about the stories we uncover along the way and the memories we create with others. This season celebrates the people, cultures, and cruise experiences that truly make a journey unforgettable. I hope audiences discover something new and feel a connection to these places.”
The new season will be available to watch weekly in 50 markets across the United States on major broadcasting channels ABC, CBS, NBC, The CW and Cox Communications’ YurView. American service members and their families will also have access to the show via the American Forces Network, which broadcasts via satellite to 168 countries.
Additionally, the brand will expand with the upcoming launch of Traveling With Denella & Friends, a podcast offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the global travel industry, with conversations with cruise executives and tourism leaders.
Full episodes of the series are available on YouTube, while those who want to see more can follow Denella and the brand on Instagram.
