AmaWaterways teams up with Mandarin Oriental

AmaWaterways has formed a new partnership with luxury hotelier Mandarin Oriental.

Together, the two companies are introducing a collection of exclusive pre- and post-cruise land programs designed for travellers seeking the highest levels of comfort, personalization, and cultural immersion.

“This partnership brings together two brands that share a passion for delivering authentic, personalized luxury,” said Catherine Powell, CEO of AmaWaterways, in a press release. “These exclusive experiences align perfectly with our commitment to thoughtfully curated travel.  Our guests will have the chance to enjoy the legendary elegance of Mandarin Oriental properties while further enhancing their journey with AmaWaterways, combining the highest standards of service and attention to detail both on land and on the river.”

Launching in 2026, the Mandarin Oriental Luxury Pre- and Post-Cruise Experiences will be available in select European cities including Barcelona, Geneva, Zürich, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Vienna, and Amsterdam, with Budapest to follow in 2027.

Guests enjoy private drivers and guides, daily excursions, and door-to-door transfers between airport, hotel, and ship.

Immersive culinary experiences, such as hands-on cooking demonstrations followed by lunch at a local restaurant, invite travellers to savour authentic regional flavors while connecting more deeply with each destination.

Accommodations are provided at Mandarin Oriental properties, celebrated for their refined design, legendary service, and timeless sophistication.
