UNPARALLELED ONBOARD EXPERIENCE
As a member of the renowned La ChaÎne des Rôtisseurs culinary society, AmaWaterways prepares exquisite onboard cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each guest also is treated to an unforgettable dining experience at The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, the only venue of its kind on the rivers. There, you’ll watch as the chef chops, sears and meticulously plates a multicourse tasting menu paired with complimentary hand-selected wines. As with all
of AmaWaterways’ onboard meals, The Chef’s Table is included in the price of your river cruise. Also included is nightly entertainment, from an onboard pianist to local musicians, dancers and folklore artists whose performances immerse you in the local culture.
AMAWATERWAYS’ INCREDIBLE 2021-2022 SEASONS
AmaWaterways is expanding its French fleet to include the line’s most awarded ship, the AmaKristina, bringing twin-balcony staterooms to France for the first time. In addition, two new French itineraries have been added. Step into the world of the great Impressionist artists and meander through incredible châteaux gardens on the new Impressions of the Seine & Paris between Le Havre and Paris. You’ll also visit Normandy’s World War II landing beaches and have the option to add an enticing new land program in Brittany that includes the stunning islet of St. Malo and the magical island monastery of Mont St. Michel.
Alternatively, discover the Essence of Burgundy & Provence on a sailing along the Saône and Rhône rivers between Chalon-sur-Saône and Arles. Indulge in the French countryside’s tranquility and taste your way
through France’s culinary capital in Lyon. You’ll also visit a cooking school in Valence and savor a variety
of delicious local wines. Plus, witness the majesty of castles and breathtaking scenery during a new optional land extension in Geneva, the gateway to the Swiss Alps, which includes a stop in Burgundy’s capital, Dijon.
Other incredible new experiences include the palate-pleasing land program in France’s celebrated Champagne region, the history-rich Best of Holland & Belgium itinerary – perfect for active travelers, and the Rhine Castles & Swiss Alps, with an optional land extension in breathtaking Lake Como, Italy.
YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY IS A TOP PRIORITY
Rest assured that, once AmaWaterways returns to the rivers, the line will be taking preventive measures as recommended by the health authorities and local government agencies. It also will be intensifying its normal high standards of hygiene on board. AmaWaterways is working closely with its partners
in the destinations sailed through to ensure that all screening, onboard sanitation procedures and excursions will be operated in strict accordance
with the most up-to-date recommended guidelines.
