he saying goes, “Oceans take you to countries; rivers take you through them.” River cruising is a uniquely luxurious way to travel, sailing through the hearts of some of the world’s most storied, picturesque cities and towns. And which destination is more celebrated, magical and serenely beautiful than France? In poem and song, art and cuisine, dance and couture — France is the joie de vivre capital of the world. Award-winning AmaWaterways offers you three memorable ways to experience all the wonder France offers. On your Provence and Spain itinerary aboard the AmaDagio, you can inhale fragrant lavender fields, stroll through medieval and elegant castles and shop till you drop along the ritzy Champs-Élysées. Fall in love with the sophistication, romance and breathtaking glamour of Paris. Opt for a trip to neighboring Montmartre, home of the Moulin Rouge and can-can dancers, before departing to Lyon, gastronomic center of France. Truffle farms, charming artisanal treasures, legendary museums, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a three-night stay in vibrant Barcelona — all will become cherished moments. Whirlwind adventures through wine country await on the Taste of Bordeaux cruise aboard the AmaDolce. Local wines and world-class cuisine will impress even the most particular foodie’s palate. You could happily drink your way through vineyard tastings — but you’re sure to delight in awe-inspiring sights in the provincial Loire Valley, home to the extravagant Château d’Amboise. A must-see. The AmaLegro sails through Paris and Normandy, sweeping through some of the most beguiling and historically significant areas of the French countryside. Tour the distinguished battlefields of WWII along Normandy’s tranquil beaches. The port of Honfleur continues to enchant legions of artists, while a visit to Monet’s gardens in Giverny will change your appreciation of his masterpieces. Medieval towns, Richard the Lionheart’s castle ruins and Napoleon’s opulent Château Malmaison are all not to be missed. AmaWaterways takes you through France in first-class comfort and luxury. Heralded for its pioneering spirit and breakthrough designs, the company’s ships feature spacious French balcony staterooms that offer stunning views of the ever-changing scenery. AmaWaterways ships are designed to feel like a floating sanctuary to keep you feeling pampered and refreshed. On the sun deck, a dip in the whirlpool comes with sweeping vistas of the rolling countryside. Relax with a soothing massage, exercise in the complimentary fitness room and prep for special nights with a visit to the onboard hair stylist. AmaWaterways is a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs — an exclusive and prestigious international
culinary society. It excels in exquisite, locally inspired cuisine that ensures an authentically delicious experience. AmaWaterways is also the only river cruise line to offer The Chef’s Table — a uniquely intimate specialty restaurant where chefs prepare your lavish dinner in front of you. All onboard dining, as well as unlimited wine and beer with lunch and dinner, is included so that you can indulge however and whenever you like. Book your trip at www.AmaWaterways.com.
