The River
Cruise
Difference
Peaceful and scenic, river cruising offers a
smooth, gentle ride along the world’s most
remarkable waterways. Supreme comfort
and convenience make it the premier way
to experience magnificent cities, historic
villages and little-seen enclaves.
From your stateroom balcony, endless
natural beauty combines with evolving
views of the colourful local scenery. Castles
and fortresses tower on both sides, as if
you could reach out and touch them. When
your ship docks in the heart of town, stroll
ashore for included excursions or set off
to explore on a complimentary bicycle.
Unpack just once then settle in as each
destination comes to you.
A superb itinerary offered by AmaWaterways is the Christmas Markets
on the Danube. Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with a festive
journey that kicks off in Prague. After boarding your ship in Nuremberg,
you will cruise through the charming region where so many of today’s most
beloved Christmas traditions originated. Experience a number of enchanting
Christmas markets in places such as Regensburg, Salzburg, and Vienna,
each with its own local flavour and traditions. Conclude your holiday cruise
in Budapest.
For the connoisseur, Taste of Bordeaux offers a visit to Bordeaux, the capital
of Aquitaine in Southwestern France, is one of the world’s undisputed wine
capitals. You’ll discover stately chateaux, abundant vineyards and stunning
scenery as you sail along the Garonne River and its surrounding estuaries,
calling upon port cities like Cadillac, Bourg and Libourne. Enjoy tastings
of some of the region’s most distinguished wines and visit notable sights
before concluding your journey with a two night stay in the Loire Valley and
one night in Paris.
Another firm favourite is the Tulip Time cruise. Here you will discover the
beauty and history of the Dutch and Belgian waterways in the spring and
admire the spectacular tulip carpets in Keukenhof Gardens. You will visit
the lush green countryside of Kinderdijk, home to the country’s greatest
concentration of windmills, and experience Amsterdam’s distinctive
architecture and vibrant nightlife. This is also a wonderful opportunity to
admire the great medieval cities of Antwerp and Ghent and to delve into the
cultural traditions of the friendly Dutch and Flemish people.
These are only a few of the wonderful itineraries offered by AmaWaterways
where you have no need to navigate from place to place and where you’ll
find a sense of adventure and a sense of home all in one vacation.
