Traveling With Denella, the award-winning syndicated travel television series hosted by travel broadcast journalist and travel expert Denella Ri’chard, returns for Season 9 with a new theme, “Stories Worth the Journey.” The new season continues the series’ focus on destination storytelling, cultural connection and the travel experiences shaping today’s global landscape.
Airing weekly in 50 markets across the United States in national syndication, Traveling With Denella reaches more than 17 million television households through major broadcast affiliates including ABC, CBS, NBC, The CW and Cox Communications’ YurView. The series also airs globally on the American Forces Network, reaching U.S. service members and their families in 168 countries via satellite.
Season 9 reflects the idea that every destination has a deeper story to tell. Through immersive storytelling and cinematic on-location production, Ri’chard takes viewers beyond the expected, highlighting the communities, personalities, traditions and experiences that make travel memorable and meaningful.
The new season features exciting cruise experiences, taking audiences aboard some of the industry’s most innovative ships and into fascinating ports where maritime travel connects cultures, destinations and travelers. From historic cities and emerging destinations to life at sea, the series captures the journeys, traditions and personal stories that transform travel into a powerful human connection.
“Travel is about more than just the places we visit,” said Ri’chard. “It’s about the stories we uncover along the way and the memories we create with others. This season celebrates the people, cultures, and cruise experiences that truly make a journey unforgettable. I hope audiences discover something new and feel a connection to these places.”
In addition to the television series, the Traveling With Denella brand will expand with the upcoming launch of Traveling With Denella & Friends, a new podcast that will offer audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the global travel industry through candid conversations with travel leaders, colleagues, and friends.
The podcast will feature conversations with cruise executives, destination leaders, tourism innovators and storytellers who are helping shape the future of travel. Each episode will offer insight into industry trends, personal career journeys and the passion driving one of the world’s most dynamic sectors.
Together, the television series and podcast reflect the continued growth of the Traveling With Denella platform across broadcast, digital and social media channels.
