Fall Cruise

NPR’s Carl Kasell, long-time Morning Edition news anchor and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! cast member, will host WRVO’s first Discovery Cruise September 8-15, 2012.  The cruise, a fundraiser for WRVO Public Media technical operations, will sail aboard the Caribbean Princess, one of the finest cruise liners in the world, from New York Harbor (Brooklyn Ship Terminal) to Halifax, Nova Scotia with stops at St. John, New Brunswick; Bar Harbor, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; and Newport, Rhode Island before returning to New York.  Round-trip direct air-conditioned tour bus transportation from and back to central New York will be available.

The WRVO staff is teaming up with Princess Cruise Lines representatives for a series of information sessions to present this extraordinary opportunity to those interested in joining the cruise.  Open to the public, these evening events will be held in:
