Africa Safari
AmaWaterways’ 2026 itineraries reflect a growing desire to explore beyond the expected. Alongside beloved classic routes, new journeys introduce fresh perspectives and destinations that feel both exciting and accessible.
In Africa, AmaWaterways expands its popular Africa Safaris & Wildlife Cruises with four new itineraries that combine luxurious small-ship cruising on the Chobe River with unforgettable land-based experiences throughout the continent. Guests on these 9-18-night itineraries enjoy expertly guided wildlife encounters, rich cultural moments and seamless transitions between river and land. Experience the beauty and natural wonders of destinations such as Kenya, Namibia, Zanzibar and the stunning Skeleton Coast.
In Southeast Asia, a new four-night post-cruise extension into Central Vietnam, available exclusively on the Riches of the Mekong itinerary, invites travelers to go deeper into the region’ s story. Discover the stunning Royal Palace of Phnom Penh and explore the Vietnam War-era Cu Chi Tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City. Plus, delight in a visit to Hoi An with its iconic floating lanterns and Hue, known for its Thien Mu Pagoda and Minh Mang Tomb. These experiences are a natural extension of the Mekong journey that adds even more depth and discovery with additional time and locally guided exploration.
