A Firsthand Look at The Great Rivers of Europe
As a company that’s devoted to changing lives through travel, it’s perhaps no surprise that Grand Circle strives sends its associates “on the road” as often as possible to experience our trips firsthand.
Every year, in fact, we organize Product Training Trips (or “PTTs,” as we like to call them) and invite hard-working associates from various departments to participate. In addition to offering associates an opportunity to indulge their own passion for travel, these special trips serve a practical purpose: Spending time with travelers as they experience our trips gives us a better understanding of what you like most about Grand Circle—and what we can do to serve you better.
Earlier this month, we sent 12 associates—including Travel Counselors Jeff Allison, Christina Bylsma, Nick DiMatteo, Yiannis Ifantides, and D’Ionna Willis, Email Correspondent Andy French, and Product Marketer Cynthia Barnes—on our Great Rivers of Europe River Cruise. I asked them to share photos and observations from their trip here in Harriet’s Corner, and they happily obliged: I hope you’ll enjoy reading their stories as much as I did.
If you’ve explored The Great Rivers of Europe with us, I’d love to hear your stories, too! You can email me at
