Experience the magic of river cruising in the off-season.

​

Looking for a quieter, more intimate way to travel? River cruising during the fall and winter months—from October through March—is a hidden gem, and being on the river makes it truly unforgettable.

​

As the summer crowds fade, you’ll enjoy a more relaxed pace and deeper connections with the charming towns and cities along Europe’s most iconic rivers. Imagine wandering cobblestone streets without the hustle, sipping mulled wine at festive Christmas markets, or watching the autumn colors reflect on the Rhine or Danube.

​

Think glowing lights, cozy local cafés, handcrafted gifts, and a warm, welcoming spirit around every bend.

​

During this season, AmaWaterways also offers river cruises in Egypt on the Nile, Columbia on the Magdalena and in Asia on the Mekong.  River cruising and safari's are offered in Africa on the Chobe River in October, November, February and March.

 

These journeys include fabulous river ship accommodations, spectacular dining experiences and intimate small group excursions at each destination.  These excursions allow you to explore at your own pace.  On board you will enjoy unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi access to keep you connected. 

​

Whether you’re drawn to the romance of fall foliage, the enchantment of a winter wonderland or an exotic adventure, river cruising in the off-season offers peaceful luxury, cultural richness, and memories you’ll treasure forever.
