For the 2025 season, AmaWaterways introduces three new 14-night itineraries and welcomes the return of their classic Magnificent Europe itinerary. Grand Rhine & Dutch Canals, between Amsterdam and Basel, immerses travelers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and Switzerland, offering a sensory feast of culinary delights, awe-inspiring cities, and fairytale castles. Meanwhile, Grand Seine & Rhone invites exploration of French history, art, food, and wine, promising a captivating journey from Paris to Arles. The line’s Grand Seine & Bordeaux from Paris to Bordeaux encompasses Normandy's historic sites, Monet's enchanting gardens, and the renowned Bordeaux wine region. Both France itineraries feature convenient ship-to-ship transfers included in the upfront fare price.

The returning Magnificent Europe traverses the Rhine Gorge and the Main-Danube Canal, revealing Europe's cultural heritage. These itineraries join the 14-night Grand Danube Cruise, which unveils the mysteries of the Iron Gates and spans from bustling capitals to ancient towns frozen in time. This itinerary is available now for clients looking for a longer river cruise experience sooner.
AmaWaterways also offers your clients the opportunity to build their own Grand River Cruise itineraries through their Combination Cruise program. Your clients can combine any of the line’s itineraries in Europe and—best of all—they will save 10% on every consecutive sailing after their first, with no limit to the number of cruises that can be added. There are thousands of river cruise combinations available, and AmaWaterways’ reservations experts can help you identify the best combinations for your clients.

Grand River Cruises are also great for groups seeking lengthier experiences, whether you are leading a wine-focused group eager to savor France's finest vintages or an active travelers’ group ready to take on hiking and biking adventures along the Danube River. Additionally, AmaWaterways is offering you a time-limited opportunity to cruise with your group for free! Secure a new group contract for either 2024 or 2025 and reserving five double-occupancy staterooms on specific Europe or Mekong sailings before December 31, 2023, and you will receive a complimentary stateroom for two on the same voyage, allowing you to accompany your group. This presents a fantastic opportunity to expand your group business and forge enduring connections with your clients.
With new itineraries on the horizon, flexible options, and great group offers, AmaWaterways’ Grand River Cruises are an enticing proposition for both you and your clients.
