When your clients embark on a river cruise with award-winning AmaWaterways, they will unpack once and explore a world of unparalleled experiences while cruising through Europe, Asia, Africa or South America. The picturesque summer months offer unique opportunities with this river cruise line along legendary rivers. Here are just a few reasons you should encourage your clients to embark on an AmaWaterways river cruise this summer! 

1. Refreshing Amenities  

On the Sun Deck, your clients will breathe fresh air and take in panoramic views where AmaWaterways’ wonderful crew visit frequently to offer them refreshing drinks. Most of the river cruise line’s ships include sun-deck swimming pools, perfect for cooling down after an included morning hike or biking excursion, while five ships offer a soothing whirlpool that beckons as the sun sets. 

When guests want to cool down, AmaWaterways’ extraordinary crew members aboard their air-conditioned ships are always prepared. From biodegradable Tetra-Pak water containers for their included excursions to the cold water, iced tea or lemonade and a chilled towel as they return back to the ship from excursions, your clients will be well taken care of on their summer sailings. Guests can even enjoy delightful ice cream desserts with their onboard lunch and dinner meals.

2. Small Towns, Less Crowds 

Cruising European rivers means visiting many off-the-beaten-path towns and villages inaccessible by the large ocean cruise ships, and therefore your clients will not be faced with overcrowding while on shore. In Spitz on the Danube River, only one ship is allowed to dock in this Austrian winemaking hamlet, and it is AmaWaterways’ 196-passenger AmaMagna.  

Along the Moselle River, all the ports the river cruise line docks in are intimate storybook destinations in Germany, from Bernkastel to Trier to Cochem. Quaint Rüdesheim on the Rhine is perfect for wandering down narrow cobblestone lanes past fairytale homes with lovely flowerboxes – and it even hosts an annual wine festival in mid-August.

3. Extended Daylight Hours to Explore 

With the sun shining into the evening hours and lending lovely temperatures for nighttime strolls, guests can see more and explore more on AmaWaterways’ summer sailings. Your clients bask on their balconies and watch the world go by – or they can choose an AmaWaterways’ itinerary such as Flavors of Burgundy, which offers more than one overnight in French ports and enables your clients to explore the nightlife in Lyon, Tournus, Chalon-sur-Saône and Seurre. 

When your clients reserve their stateroom on select 2023 and 2024 AmaWaterways river cruises in Europe and Asia before December 31, 2023, they will receive 20% off their river cruise fare, combinable with the line’s limited-time AirPlus fixed rates on flights to Europe. Now is the time – start planning your clients’ river cruise journeys today!
