Surrounded by beautiful green, hilly vineyards on 28 March 2024 in Pinhão, Portugal, Avalon Waterways christened its 15th Suite Ship in Europe. Acting as the ship’s godmother, Cheri Oteri – widely known for the rise of female entertainers on Saturday Night Live in the U.S. – led the christening ceremony on the Douro River. The new, 262-foot, 102-passenger Avalon Alegria – with 14 Deluxe Staterooms and 37 Panorama Suites, built exclusively to sail the Douro River – is the first Suite Ship from Avalon Waterways to set sail in Portugal. The Avalon Alegria will invite her first, official guests on board to cruise Vida Portugal: Vineyards & Villages Along the Douro on April 3, 2024.

Hello, 2024! We're ready to kickstart this year, particularly with this exciting announcement of Cheri Oteri as Godmother of our newest river ship, the Avalon Alegria, coming to the Douro in March.
Avalon Waterways names Cheri Oteri as Godmother of our newest river ship, Avalon Alegria! She will officially welcome and christen the ship when it debuts on the Douro River in March! "In our search for the perfect godmother for the Avalon Alegria – our first ship in Portugal with a name that means 'happiness' – we knew Cheri Oteri would be the perfect choice," said Pam Hoffee, president of Avalon Waterways. "As a difference-making entertainer – and one of the ground-breaking women who inspired modern comedy in America – Ms. Oteri has brought so much inspiration and joy into our lives."
