AmaWaterways unveils 2021 river cruise collection

AmaWaterways’ 2021 programme – which includes a new ship, AmaLucia, four new itineraries and new pre- and post-cruise land programmes across Europe – is now on sale.

Managing director Stuart Perl said: “We are thrilled to unveil our 2021 offerings which will showcase both fantastic new destinations and our award-winning fleet. France is a huge focus with AmaKristina moving over to the Rhône to join AmaCello who will embark on a new itinerary exploring both the Burgundy and Provence regions. High demand on the lower Danube has seen us add more departures and we have introduced new land programmes to Geneva and Lake Como, which will delight our loyal repeat guests and attract discerning travellers looking for unique experiences!”

New ship AmaLucia will join the fleet in March 2021. The 156-passenger vessel is the sister ship to AmaSiena, which is due to launch next year. She will feature signature twin balconies, connecting staterooms and multiple dining venues, including The Chef’s Table.

The four new European itineraries are Impressions of the Seine & Paris, Essence of Burgundy & Provence, Rhine Castles & Swiss Alps, and Best of Holland & Belgium.

In addition, AmaWaterways will further enhance its pre- and post-cruise experiences with a new land extension in the Champagne region of France where guests can visit acclaimed vineyards and savour tastings of Veuve Clicquot and Moet et Chandon. This land programme will be available as an add-on to Europe’s Rivers & Castles, Rhine & Moselle Splendours and Vineyards of the Rhine & Moselle itineraries.

Prices for the 2021 programme start from £1,458 per person for a seven-night Colours of Provence cruise from Lyon to Avignon onboard AmaKristina (category E stateroom), departing on December 16, 2021. The price includes flights and transfers.
