AmaWaterways has partnered with Smithsonian Journeys to offer unique river cruises in 2026 and 2027.
In 2026, the itineraries will focus on cultural and historic attractions in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal. In 2027, the voyages in France, Vietnam, and Cambodia will highlight art, history, archaeology, scientific discoveries and anthropology in the countries.
Each ship will have two experts offering lectures in preparation for shore excursions.
Highlights in its French itinerary include a visit to Claude Monet's home in Giverny, a truffle hunt on his farm and a black history tour in Paris.
The Mekong itinerary in Vietnam will introduce passengers to the culture and history of the riverside communities and include visits to temples and silk weavers. Other land tours include visits to Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.
