In the past two months senior editor Nicole Edenedo has published two cover stories about Black travel experiences. In the first, Black travel professionals talk about strides the industry is making in terms of more inclusive marketing, Black history tours and other initiatives. Her second report, even more personal, is about two experiences she recently had with tours and events that showcase and celebrate Black history, culture and community.
One of the initiatives launching this year is the Soulful Epicurean itinerary from AmaWaterways. To delve deeper into this cruise and what it means for Black travelers, representation and river cruising in general, Edenedo invited on Jazzmine Douse, director of national accounts at AmaWaterways, and Jackie Williams, the founder of NuVibe Travel Experiences, who was instrumental in creating the itinerary.
This episode was recorded March 3 and has been edited for length and clarity. Since then, the popularity of the soulful Epicurean itinerary has been solidified: Ama’s website say that this year’s cruise is at capacity. The line in 2024 now has two of these itineraries running, plus a new itinerary that will operate along the Nile in Egypt.
