AmaWaterways

Wine River Cruises through Europe

After thousands of years of growing grapes in a near-perfect climate, Italians, Spaniards and the French know a thing or two about wine. Come meet the growers and winemakers who make wine such an intrinsic part of Italian culture. On Windstar Cruise Tours you’ll have the best of land and sea, where you can step off at hidden-gem ports; walk the vineyard rows; taste hard-to-find varietals; and gain new insight into wine’s complexity on a voyage through various European wine regions.

You’ll live a leisurely Mediterranean lifestyle aboard a Windstar yacht. There are no stuffy dress codes or restrictive schedules to abide by. There’s plenty of time to swim in crystal-clear seas and discover hidden beaches; paddle a kayak or tour the coastline by Zodiac; and sip and dine with the people who live in this fascinating region. You will find that as you make memories at bucket-list destinations, you also make lifelong friends — fellow passengers who share their passion for travel and discovery.

Why River Cruise with AmaWaterways

THE HEART OF THE RIVER

With eighteen years of experience on the world’s rivers, this family-owned and operated company has remained focused on what they do best: providing guests with innovative and unforgettable travel experiences. The leaders were the pioneers of modern luxury river cruising and have received numerous prestigious awards and accolades, and are most fulfilled by the positive feedback received from guests. Join AmaWaterways, stay awhile and discover Europe, Asia and Africa – one river at a time.

The intimate, contemporary ships offer the luxury of personal space yet accommodate an average of approximately 156 guests, less than on many traditional river cruise ships. Spacious and uncrowded, the award-winning fleet offers elegantly-appointed staterooms and suites with such welcoming amenities as signature view-enhancing twin balconies. In 2019, the innovative AmaMagna was recognized by TIME magazine as one of the World’s Greatest Places, offering enhanced personal space with more than 50% luxury suite accommodations as well as four unique dining venues, a chic onboard cinema and an expansive Zen Wellness Studio. In 2021, they will be welcoming two new ships in Europe, AmaSiena and AmaLucia, as well as the stunning newly designed AmaDahlia, which sets sail on Egypt’s Nile River.

Your ship is a means of luxury transportation from destination to destination. The slower pace of river cruising means you have more free time in port and can step right off into the heart of the city and explore. When you’re ready to rejoin the ship, take a dip in the sun-deck pool or whirlpool, participate in one of the wellness activities, relax with a soothing massage or simply watch the scenery go by with a glass of wine in hand – the choice is yours.
