AMAWATERWAYS has become the latest cruise line to introduce low season voyages in Europe with its new ‘City Escapes’ program, which will offer extended stays, fewer crowds, and deeper cultural immersion in iconic cities.
The new program is offered along the Seine, Rhine and Danube rivers.
It is intentionally scheduled during quieter travel periods to allow guests to experience each destination in an even more authentic and relaxed way.
City Escapes reimagines the traditional river cruise by providing additional overnight stays, more daylight sailing, and 24 hours or more in key cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, Strasbourg, and more.
The program will debut later this year, with departures scheduled in 2027 also.
AmaWaterways now also offers new pre- and post-cruise extensions in London and Rome, allowing guests to further personalise their journey with curated cultural and culinary experiences, including visits to the Vatican City, Westminster Abbey, and London’s West End.
Meanwhile, AmaWaterways has celebrated the christening of AmaSofia on the Rhine with more than 1,200 travel advisors attending the event (pictured).
The occasion was highlighted with a spectacular 300-drone light show over the Rhine
AmaSofia will reposition to the Danube in Jun, which will see her offer several popular itineraries, including a scheduled Australian famil in Aug (CW 24 Feb). MS
