This month, we're so excited to spotlight one of our absolute favorite travel partners, AMA Waterways, and share some of our personal experiences sailing through Europe with them.
If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring Europe in a more relaxed, immersive, and luxurious way… this is it. We’ve had the pleasure of experiencing several unforgettable journeys with AMA, including:
Christmas Markets Cruise
Picture twinkling lights, mulled wine in hand, and charming villages straight out of a storybook. This was one of the most magical trips I’ve ever taken—perfect for getting into the holiday spirit.

Oktoberfest River Cruise
Such a fun and lively experience! From traditional Bavarian celebrations to scenic cruising along the Danube, it’s the perfect mix of culture and celebration.

Southern France River Cruise
This one stole my heart. Lavender fields, wine tastings, and picturesque villages, it’s elegant, relaxing, and full of authentic experiences.

Travel is so much more meaningful when it’s seamless, enriching, and beautifully curated, and that’s exactly what AMA Waterways delivers every time.
This month is also one of the few times we can offer something more exclusive. Through our private sale with Direct Travel, you can currently save up to 10% on select 2026 and 2027 sailings, plus receive additional onboard credits. The offer is combinable with current promotions, including Virtuoso amenities.
If you have been considering a river cruise, or are simply curious which itinerary might be the right fit, we are always happy to share insight based on firsthand experience.
We can’t wait to help you experience it for yourself.
