A CELEBRATION OF WINE RIVER CRUISES THROUGH EUROPE 2021
ADD A UNIQUE EPICUREAN DIMENSION TO YOUR DREAM VACATION
View our virtual Wine Cruise event and get inspired by our experts
A CELEBRATION OF WINE Nothing can turn an occasion into a celebration, spark a conversation and elevate a meal from ordinary to elegant quite like wine. That's why AmaWaterways’ more than 60 exclusive “Celebration of Wine River Cruises” provide a unique and delicious dimension to already enticing itineraries—at no additional cost. Accompanied by renowned Wine Hosts, you’ll be guided into an even more appetizing side of Europe, where you'll also learn how Old-World wines compare with New-World wines.
EUROPE’S LEGENDARY RIVERS & WINE REGIONS The Danube: Over 3,700 acres of terraced vineyards rise from Austria’s illustrious Wachau Valley. This cooler-climate wine region brings a wide variety of refreshing, peppery white-grape wines to fruition. The Rhine, Main and Moselle: The Rhine, along with its main tributaries, the Moselle and Main, have created a wine connoisseur’s paradise, yielding high-quality white wine varieties and some fine reds. Portugal’s Douro Valley: The dramatic landscapes along the Douro River are home to the world’s oldest demarcated wine region and the birthplace of Port wine. Burgundy and Provence: The Saône and Rhône rivers connect the dots between thousands of vineyards from Chalon-sur-Saône to Avignon through prized wine regions in southeastern France, including Beaujolais, Syrah and Grenache. Normandy and the Seine: France’s second largest waterway, the Seine River, provides a gateway to sample some of the country’s most renowned Champagne, ciders and Calvados. Bordeaux, Garonne and Dordogne: Bordeaux’s many sub-regions have their own strictly governed appellation, climate and terroir. It’s these factors that determine the quality of Bordeaux wine, rather than the grape varietal.
AN UNPARALLELED WINE RIVER CRUISE Our intimate, award-winning ships offer the luxury of more personal space, so you can move freely through the ship, unencumbered by crowds. Dock in the heart of grand capitals and fairytale villages, enjoying easygoing access without waiting in long lines to get on or off the ship. Throughout your journey, savor exquisite, locally-sourced cuisine complemented by distinctive wines and beer with lunch and dinner; and relax as our extraordinarily passionate crew ensures every mile you travel with us becomes one of your most cherished memories.
SIGNATURE TWIN BALCONIES
AWARD-WINNING DINING
Enjoy stunning views from the privacy of your twin-balcony stateroom or suite that features both a French balcony and an outside balcony.
Savor delicious cuisine and fine wine at a variety of venues, including The Chef’s Table or your balcony with our new *Private Riverview Dining.
WELLNESS ACTIVITIES
INCLUDED SHORE EXCURSIONS
Nourish your mind, body and spirit with guided biking and hiking adventures, fitness classes, a sun-deck pool and healthy food choices.
From iconic landmarks to hidden treasures, we’ve developed a menu of excursions in every port, so you can personalize your experience as you wish.
A PALATE-PLEASING ADVENTURE Celebrate life’s sweetest moments and tempt your palate with the delicious array of locally produced wines throughout your journey. Taste your way through renowned vineyards, uncovering the time-honored traditions of winemaking from the winemakers themselves—and sample the fruits of their labor.
PERSONAL WINE HOST
PREMIER VINEYARDS & CELLAR TOURS
Your Wine Host—a qualified industry expert—will enthusiastically share their passion of wine and lead you through interactive discussions and wine tastings on board. They’ll also join you on shore excursions to historic wine cellars, local wineries and iconic vineyards.
Go on exclusive behind-the-scene tours to iconic vineyards and wineries. Walk through France’s SaintÉmilion and then visit the 14th-century Château de Montaigne. Take in the majestic views of the Danube from Austria's beautiful Burg Clam, or taste some of Hungary’s revered Tokaji wines. These are only a few of the many experiences you can have.
AUTHENTIC ENCOUNTERS
FOOD & WINE PAIRING DINNER
Authentic encounters add to the rich tapestry of local culture. Walk alongside artisans and vintners through the same fields in which their ancestors toiled. Learn how to pair decadent chocolate with wine; discover how olives transform into olive oil; or be tempted by everything from apricot jams to apricot brandy in Austria’s Wachau Valley.
An exclusive food and wine pairing dinner is designed to heighten the relationship between the two. Rosemary-crusted lamb? A clear match for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Oysters on the half shell? Try a Loire white. Rich chocolate cake? Port is in order. Creamy French cheese? Pop open a bottle of bubbly.
WINE RIVER CRUISES INCLUDE: » Spacious accommodations in riverview stateroom or suite – most staterooms offer twin balconies » Fine dining, including unlimited complimentary hand-selected wines, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner on board » Sip & Sail daily cocktail hour with complimentary wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks » Cocktail Reception and Captain’s Gala Dinner » Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi access on board » Complimentary bicycles, helmets and Nordic walking sticks
» Small guided group excursions with a variety of choices, including visits to renowned wineries and vineyards, immersive Special Interest Tours, and hiking and biking adventures » Services of a professional Wellness Host » Experienced Cruise Manager who accompanies you throughout your river cruise and land journey » Onboard Wine Host, often from a renowned winery in North America, leading wine tastings and discussions, along with a food and wine pairing dinner during the river cruise
