AmaWaterways offer two complimentary nights in Europe
Prefer not to fly on Christmas Eve or December 25th? This year, AmaWaterways are gifting their guests up to two extra nights in Europe, when they book select New Year’s Cruises. Make a booking for any of the included cruises and enjoy a complimentary pre-cruise stay at a beautiful 4- or 5-star hotel with breakfast and an included transfer to your ship the following day. Then, depending on the departure date, either stay on the ship one extra night to celebrate New Year’s Eve, or sleep in on January 1stand be treated to an additional evening on board. For either post-cruise option, all meals will be included, as well as an airport transfer if your flight has been reserved through AmaWaterways.
