AmaWaterways' 2018 program ready to sail

AmaWaterways’ 2018 sailings are now open for booking, with a wide array of new offerings including the debut of AmaWaterways’ newest state-of-the-art ship, eight new itineraries, more wine-themed cruises and an expanded list of included excursions.

AmaWaterways will add to its growing European fleet in 2018 with the addition of AmaLea, a 158-passenger ship sailing the Danube as well as popular spring Tulip Time cruises. Modeled after sister-ships like the soon-to-be-launched AmaKristina, AmaLea will feature connecting staterooms and triple accommodations, unique signature twin-balconies, swimming pool with swim-up bar and more. Guests sailing aboard will enjoy the high levels of luxury, service and complimentary choices for which AmaWaterways is known, including the intimate Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, and new for 2018, the daily “Sip and Sail” cocktail hour.

In 2018, AmaWaterways will introduce a new exotic itinerary in Africa, and one in Vietnam & Cambodia, as well as six new Europe itineraries. Travellers now have the choice of traditional seven-night cruises or extending their enjoyment with a 10- or 11-night cruise. All cruises are packaged with optional land programs in such cities as Vienna, Paris, Prague and Zurich, and feature a menu of daily included shore excursions with multiple options for guests to tailor their experience.

For those guests wishing to continue their health and wellness activities when they travel, AmaWaterways has expanded its award-winning biking and hiking tours along Europe’s historic rivers. In 2018, AmaWaterways is also proposing 50 wine-themed cruises through the renowned wine regions of Austria, Germany, Portugal and France, all at no additional cost. Highlights include special wine tours and tastings at local wineries and private cellars, visits to renowned vineyards and wine-expert led informative sessions.

Travellers wishing to get the itinerary, ship, stateroom category and departure date of their choice, can book their 2018 vacations now and receive savings up to $500 per person, depending on the duration of the cruise, and $750 per person on European Wine Cruises when they book by July 31, 2017.
