Immersive Travel Made Simple

New in 2019, the company will offer an optional pre-cruise land extension for every cruise, with new ways to explore fascinating cities such as Amsterdam, Budapest, Lucerne, Munich, Zurich and Reykjavik. New, included excursions range from tours in the historic cities of Prague and Paris to exploring the charming countryside of Romania. In addition, AmaWaterways is adding new pre-cruise extensions in Bilbao and San Sebastian, Spain prior to embarkation on its Taste of Bordeaux itinerary, as well as a post-cruise option in Rwanda, Africa, which may be added to each of its five Zambezi Queen itineraries on the Chobe River. The four-night Rwanda extension gives guests the rare opportunity to experience Kigali and Volcanoes National Park, which is home to Silverback Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys.

More shore excursions will also be available to guests traveling with AmaWaterways in 2019, as the company adds to its already extensive menu of up to 20 complimentary options during a seven-night cruise.

“As our future and returning guests begin to make their travel plans for 2019, I can’t help but be excited on their behalf,” said Karst. “With three new ships, new additions on board and on land, we are offering the perfect immersive experience, customizable to deliver exactly what each guest is looking for in their vacation.”
