Journey Out Partners with Chorus Director Dennis Coleman

International tour operator Journey Out is teaming up with Dennis Coleman, Artistic Director of the Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus, to create a unique trip to Budapest, Krakow and Prague.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- International tour operator Journey Out is teaming up with Dennis Coleman, Artistic Director of the Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus, to create a unique trip to Budapest, Krakow and Prague.

The trip is open to the public, and Mr. Coleman is inviting chorus members, audience members and their friends to come along. Space is limited, and those interested are encouraged to make their reservations early.

"I've really enjoyed traveling with Journey Out in the past," said Mr. Coleman, "and this collaboration is a great opportunity to not only visit some great old-world European cities, but to go with a group of like-minded, adventurous travel companions."

Mr. Coleman is best known as the man wielding the conductor's baton before an estimated live audience of about 2.5 million who flock to about 18 chorus performances each year. With a subscription base of over 40,000 and over 350 singing members, the combined chorus organization is among the largest in the country.

"We think Dennis is the perfect person to lead a trip celebrating Mozart's 250th birthday," said Journey Out founder Michael Brooks. Included is a performance of "Don Giovanni" at the world-famous Estates Theater in Prague, where Mozart himself first conducted the opera in 1787.

Other unique experiences during the trip are a visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mines guided by a former salt mine worker, and dinner at Wierzineck, a restaurant dating from 1364 and a favorite of King Casimir the Great.

Journey Out provides a novel twist on traditional tours: gay men and lesbians enjoy a carefully-researched vacation while traveling in friendly, intimate groups - and then welcomed into communities who will celebrate their arrival and share their culture and traditions. The tours are informal, uninhibited, and energetic with many unique activities; but most of all, they are designed with fun and relaxation in mind. They provide plenty of free time, options, and multi-night hotel stays (no need to re-pack all the time). There is a liberal refund policy (100%, 90 days prior to departure minus the deposit) and a free payment plan. Journey Out hopes their guests will make new friends, not only the people traveling together, but locals in the different places they visit. Tours include a welcome party to get acquainted and a farewell party to help with re-entry.

Journey Out offers this once-in-a-lifetime explore Eastern Europe with Mr. Coleman as part of a comprehensive ten-day vacation package from August 17 - 26, 2006. Priced at $2,590, the tour includes four- star hotels, airport transfers, some meals and activities, opera tickets, excursions and much more.
