MEET DAILEN MARTIN
World Champion Latin Dancer, instructor and event producer. Founder of Fiesta Latina EPTX El Paso, TX and Nashville, TN
MEET DAILEN MARTIN
International Bachata Champion • Flamenco Artist • Choreographer • Instructor • Event Producer
Born and raised in Santa Clara, Cuba, Dailen Martin is an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer, instructor, and event producer known for blending the strength and elegance of Flamenco with the sensuality and musicality of Bachata.
Dailen began her artistic training in Cuba, developing a diverse foundation in traditional Cuban dance, contemporary dance, and Flamenco. Her extensive Flamenco training includes her work with Sacromonte Ballet Español de Santa Clara, as well as studies with renowned national and international artists including Lizt Alfonso, Danny Villalonga, Ana Ruiz, and Farruquito. In 2010, she earned the professional category of Regisseur in Flamenco while working with Hechizo Dance Company.
After moving to the United States, Dailen expanded her career into the international Latin dance scene, training, teaching, competing, and performing in Bachata, Salsa, Kizomba, Argentine Tango, and other Latin styles.
A Bachata World and International Champion, Dailen has distinguished herself through a unique artistic identity that combines her Cuban roots, Flamenco background, and Latin dance expertise. Her signature “Flamenco Meets Bachata” style has become a defining element of her work, bringing Flamenco technique, expression, arms, fans, skirts, and musical interpretation into contemporary Bachata.
Beyond the stage, Dailen has built a reputation as a community leader and event creator. During more than a decade in El Paso, Texas, she helped expand the city’s Latin dance scene by creating classes, socials, workshops, and large-scale experiences, including her signature Fiesta Latina events. Her work focuses not only on teaching dance, but on creating spaces where culture, music, movement, and community come together.
Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Dailen continues to expand her artistic career through performances, workshops, Latin events, collaborations, and cultural experiences. Her Flamenco work has already taken her into distinctive Nashville stages and productions, including a professional boxing event in collaboration with Mayweather Promotions, where she brought the power and elegance of Flamenco into the ring.
Whether performing, teaching, choreographing, or producing an event, Dailen’s mission remains the same: to celebrate her culture, create unforgettable experiences, and inspire others through the power of dance.

EXPLORE THE JOURNEY
A Week of Dance, Culture & Discovery Along the Seine. Paris, the City of Light, combines the world’s most romantic city with a fascinating journey into the past of the Impressionist masters.
Follow the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin while winding along the Seine River into the beautiful Normandy region to Le Havre on the rugged Atlantic Coast. Normandy was the stage of one of the most pivotal military operations in history: D-Day during World War II.
Idyllic Normandy villages, the “museum town” of Rouen, and the picturesque harbor town of Honfleur are among the wonders to be explored during this cruise.

Amazing cities to explore along the seine
|
Day 1 - Paris (Embarkation from 4:00 pm)
Embark this afternoon in Paris, the romantic City of Light. After unpacking, join your fellow travelers for a Welcome Cocktail, followed by a specially prepared Welcome Dinner. Day 2 - Conflans (In the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh & Impressionist inspiration) Arrive early in the morning in Conflans-St.-Honorine, at the confluence of the rivers Oise and Seine. Join a guided tour to the little town of Auvers-sur-Oise, a charming French town with narrow laneways, shuttered homes and the scent of roses guiding your exploration. It is not hard to see why the town inspired many Impressionist masters, including Cezanne, Pissarro and Daubigny. The most famous of these artists is Vincent van Gogh, whose final resting place is here. Depart late this afternoon. Day 3 - Rouen (Rouen, the city of 100 spires) This morning, join a walking tour of the capital of the Normandy region and visit the cathedral that inspired Claude Monet, as well as the modern Church of Joan of Arc with its magnificent 16th-century stained-glass windows. This afternoon, step back to the 17th century by visiting Le Pressoir d'Orr. In this typical farmhouse, you can taste cidre and view the orchard cellar and the museum dedicated to the old apple press. Afterward, visit Lyons-la-Forêt, one of France’s most beautiful villages, located 30 km east of Rouen in a beautiful forested setting in Normandy. Late this afternoon, the vessel departs as it continues northward. Day 4 - Le Havre (Walking tour of the cliff paths of Étretat) The harbor of Le Havre is your convenient base for two optional land explorations. This morning, opt for a tour to the nearby city of Honfleur, with its picturesque old harbor lined with 16th—18th—century townhouses. After lunch, explore the Norman coastline on a walk along Étretat’s cliff-top paths for views of steep chalk rocks with impressive needle-like formations. On board your AMADEUS vessel this evening, local chanson singers will give you a taste of French culture and music. Day 5 - Le Havre (Caudebec-en-Caux) (History, flavor, and charm - Normandy in a day) Today, join us on a full-day Norman journey. Experience a mix of rich culinary traditions and historic landmarks, including the closest harbor linked to the liberation of Western Europe after D-Day — Arromanches, with its remnants of the World War II Mulberry Harbors. Or choose an excursion to Fécamp, a seaside resort and home to Le Palais Bénédictine, which produces the famous liqueur invented by Benedictine monks in the 16th century. The vessel departs after dinner. |
Day 6 - Les Andelys Vernon Mantes-la-Jolie (Monet’s garden & Captain’s Gala Dinner)
Today, there are several choices for the day’s adventures. Relax in the little town of Les Andelys or venture farther afield to the remains of the English king’s stronghold: Château Gaillard. Continue to Giverny to visit the home of Impressionist Claude Monet and the beautiful gardens that inspired several works of art. Indulge in a delightful lunch on board before embarking on an excursion to Château de Malmaison, the former residence of Joséphine and Napoleon Bonaparte, to immerse yourself in the privacy of the Imperial couple. After you rejoin the ship in Mantes-la-Jolie later this afternoon, your ship continues to Paris. Day 7 - Paris (City tour Paris) In the early morning, it is once again “Bienvenue“ to the French capital. Explore the sights of the Eiffel Tower and the bustling Champs-Élysées, one of the world’s most famous commercial streets, during a morning city tour. Later in the day, join us as we delve into the allure of Montmartre, an eternal muse for creativity and expression, located on the highest hill in northern Paris. From its cobbled streets and quaint cafes to its iconic Sacré-Coeur, Montmartre offers a unique experience that transports visitors back to the Belle Époque era. Late this afternoon, enjoy a festive Gala Dinner and admire the city lights of the French capital. Day 8 - Paris (Disembark after breakfast) After breakfast, your AMADEUS crew bids you “adieu,” and we hope to see you again soon! |
