“Our Loyalty Appreciation Cruises are our heartfelt expression of gratitude to those who have chosen AmaWaterways as their preferred choice for river cruising. We are honored to welcome our loyal returning guests on these special cruises this summer, where we hope they will see some familiar faces and forge new lifelong friendships,” said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. 

“We know many of our returning guests like to organize their travel to reunite with some of their favorite Cruise Managers so we also decided to announce, far in advance, which of our remarkable Cruise Managers will be hosting a selection of ten cruises this summer, all with special savings.”
