Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

AmaWaterways is known for providing personalized service, delicious cuisine and a variety of intriguing shore excursions on its river cruises in Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and Africa.

The company is offering our customers incredible rates right now:

Save up to 47% on many departures through 2028. Book by August 31.

This fall, AmaWaterways will introduce City Escapes. These new shoulder season cruises from November through March feature extended time in ports like Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna and Strasbourg. Designed for quieter months with fewer crowds, guests can join exclusive small-group tours or explore independently at their own pace.

The company also debuted a new collection of Europe itineraries developed in collaboration with Smithsonian Journeys earlier this year. Two Smithsonian representatives accompany guests on each cruise and offer lectures about the places visited. To view these cruises, click here.

On every trip with AmaWaterways, the upfront price covers all onboard meals and unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner, plus a complimentary Sip & Sail cocktail hour. You can also enjoy an included night at the Chef's Table Restaurant, where a multi-course tasting menu is paired with a selection of wines and chefs prepare and plate the meal in front of you.

Onboard menus highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients and regional flavors, while attentive crew members provide personalized service designed to make every voyage seamless and relaxing. Guests can unwind in inviting public spaces ideal for sightseeing, and many staterooms feature twin balconies: a French balcony with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a separate walk-out balcony for taking in the views.

AmaWaterways' rates also include a choice of complimentary excursions in each port of call, from walking tours of historic districts and guided hiking and biking trips to unique cultural events. On Seine River cruises, for example, you might stroll through Monet's gardens in Giverny, explore historic Rouen on a guided walking tour or visit the Normandy beaches and other World War II landmarks.
