Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

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

Right now, the company is offering our customers special low rates:

Save up to 50% on departures through 2027. Book by October 31.

On every sailing with AmaWaterways, the upfront price covers all onboard meals and unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner, plus a "Sip & Sail" cocktail hour. You can also enjoy an included night at the Chef's Table Restaurant, where six courses are served with a selection of wines, and chefs prepare and plate the meal in front of you.

Menus on board feature locally sourced ingredients and recipes, and dining room staff go above and beyond to ensure a relaxing experience. There are elegant and inviting public spaces on the ship, and many staterooms feature twin balconies: a French balcony with glass doors that open to a railing and a full balcony that you can walk out on.

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 Danube cruises in Vienna, for example, choose a tour of grand sights like the Opera House and the imperial Hofburg Palace, or join a guided bike ride to 12th-century Klosterneuburg Abbey.

There's still time to join a festive Christmas markets cruise this holiday season. These merry departures in late November and December visit Europe's famous outdoor holiday bazaars where merchants sell handcrafted ornaments, toys, candles and woodcarvings, as well as local treats like grilled sausages, roasted chestnuts, mulled wine and gingerbread. Sausages sizzle on grills, carolers sing and vendors' booths are decorated with evergreen garlands and twinkling lights.

Next year, AmaWaterways will introduce a new collection of Europe sailings that were developed in collaboration with Smithsonian Journeys. Two dedicated and knowledgeable Smithsonian experts will accompany guests on each cruise and give enriching lectures about the places visited. To view these cruises, click here.
