Cruise line opens bookings, launches itineraries for 2018

RIVER cruising specialist,
AmaWaterways, has opened
bookings for its 2018 season
and hopes to add new
itineraries in Africa, Vietnam
and Cambodia, and six new
sailing programmes in Europe.
The cruise line’s latest
vessel, AmaLea, will join the
AmaWaterways fleet in 2018
and will sail the Danube. The
158-passenger vessel will
feature connecting staterooms,
triple accommodations, unique
signature twin balconies and
a swimming pool with a swimup
bar.
A host of new tours is also
being planned, which will
centre around food and wine.
Come 2018, AmaWaterways
will introduce 50 wine-themed
cruises through Austria,
Germany, Portugal and France.
Activities that will be included
are special wine tours, tastings
at local wineries and private
cellars, visits to vineyards and
informative sessions led by
wine experts.
Bookings are currently on
the increase for both individual
and group bookings, says
Kristin Karst, executive vp and
co-owner of AmaWaterways.
