AmaWaterways is offering river cruises through Europe's scenic rivers during the fall and winter months, providing unique seasonal experiences for travelers. The cruise line is promoting its itineraries as a way to escape the usual fall and holiday activities, such as crowded shopping malls and heavy traffic.

AmaWaterways is committed to providing cultural experiences, as guests will have the opportunity to enjoy events unique to the region, such as visiting European Christmas markets or sampling new wines during the grape harvest season. The intimate river ships stay in Europe during months when other cruise lines move to warmer destinations, highlighting their adaptability to cooler temperatures and their suitability for touring and outdoor activities.

“AmaWaterways knows that October, November and December are ideal vacation times for travelers looking to sample the fruits of the fall harvests or Europe's Christmastime festivities. Not only do its ships continue to sail into the fall and winter, but the river cruise line plans its itineraries and excursions around the region's iconic seasonal events,” the company detailed.
