Included Excursions Await
Discover the culture, history and traditions of majestic capitals and charming villages on AmaWaterways’ variety of exciting excursions. With heritage rooted along Europe’s rivers, the line ensures all excursions are authentic and immersive, showcasing the historical and cultural highlights of every port they visit. Additionally, your clients will be treated to exclusive experiences such as the line’s year-round Oktoberfest celebration in Vilshofen, Germany, along the Danube River; or their Bourg wine festival in France which features exquisite local wines and live music.
Led by knowledgeable local guides, AmaWaterways’ tours not only take you to the highlights of your destinations but also uncover hidden wonders off the beaten path. Your clients can revel in delightful tastings of local specialties, such as brandy-infused Rüdesheimer coffee in Germany and traditional Bulgarian yogurt and pastry in Vidin; or they can immerse themselves in impressive capitals and historic towns through guided walking tours, which are offered in active, regular and gentle variations.
For those seeking more active experiences, AmaWaterways offers guided hiking and biking tours. Your clients can pedal through Austria’s stunning, UNESCO-designated Wachau Valley on the Danube or hike through Germany’s storybook Black Forest while cruising the Rhine. If your clients prefer exploring at their own pace, they may also reserve complimentary bicycles while on board one of the cruise line’s European ships.
Embrace Flexibility
Offering up to six excursion options per day, AmaWaterways’ river cruises can be personalized to fit the needs and interests of your clients. Guests can even embark on the same itinerary twice without repeating most excursions! For instance, during their 7-night Essence of Burgundy & Provence sailing, your clients can explore the “culinary capital” of Lyon with a walking tour, a tasting experience or a guided bike tour. On that same day, guests can also visit Vienne and its marvelously preserved Roman ruins on a city tour. They may also opt for more active excursions with either a bike tour along the ViaRhôna route or a hike to the monastery atop Mount Pipet.
If your clients would like a morning to sleep in and enjoy a late breakfast in the ship’s lounge, the line offers late-riser tours in select destinations, allowing your clients to experience the best of the destination’s landmarks while indulging in the luxury of a slower start to the day. With their variety of excursion choices and amenities, AmaWaterways makes it easy to craft an experience that suits your clients’ preferred travel styles.
