Seven nights. Four countries. One small room.

GRAMMY® Award winner Avery*Sunshine is coming to Europe on the water. A week on the Rhine with live music every evening and a crowd capped at 130 guests.

This isn't an arena. It's a lounge with the river going by the windows. You'll hear her up close, then walk the old towns of Strasbourg, Rüdesheim and Cologne the next morning.

Max 130 guests Once the cabins are gone, they're gone.
