River cruising is an absolute joy. So much so, in fact, that my only complaint is the inevitable feeling that these voyages will end too soon. Over the course of my journey, I’ve been drinking great wine, eating wonderful food, taking world-class tours, and creating a lifetime of memories with fellow travelers. Simply put, eight days with a group of my new closest friends is simply not enough. Fortunately, AmaWaterways has the perfect solution for my problem, offering complimentary land packages for select itineraries in 2024 that seamlessly extend your river cruise experience onto solid ground.
Now, let’s highlight a few of the offered pre-and post-cruise packages.
