Are you ready to go on an Epic Journey Jay.  I think I would love this.  Can you 
 guess what I am going to talk about.

Amawaterways…They are celebrating 20 years in the industry with award winning ships (longboats)…. And now they are doing something unbelievable…

7 River Journeys through Europe….and they are announce that the 2024 season is now accepting reservations…yes…2024. Amawaterways is once again making history with the longest continuous journeys on one award winning ship.  One sailing in the spring and one in summer….and filled with new ports as well as itinerary exclusives and amenities.

So, what Rivers what countries…So the seven rivers are:   

Scheldt   Maas   Waal   Moselle   Main   Danube   Rhine

49 nights…. WOW

And 15 Countries…I know I know what countries right

Well, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland,

Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and this is new to the itinerary…. Moldova.

 And if this wasn’t enough…what about 130 plus unique excursions…. I can’t even begin to talk about all the unique excursions.  It is just a boatload…like that…boat load….   Of excursions…

Think about it….

Visit the awe-inspiring tulip gardens of Keukenhof, taste Alsatian delicacies in Strasbourg, glide past more than 40 castles in the Rhine Gorge and so much more. Plus, be pampered by the same wonderful Cruise Manager and crew throughout your seven-week sailing and experience several unique experiences exclusive to Seven River Journey guests! 

 |  | AmaWaterways has curated a diverse menu of shore excursions, with a variety of choices each day. Walking tours for gentle, regular and active guests as well as guided hikes and bike rides are operated in small groups of just 15-20 guests. also offer immersive culinary-themed Special Interest Tours such as cooking demonstrations and tastings. As AmaWaterways often docks just steps from the heart of the city, you may also explore many destinations on your own on foot or by bike. Now that I have your mouth watering about this once in a lifetime experience…I just want to give you a few reminders about sailing along Rivers, One is the ports sometimes get crowded and you may have to walk through one long boat to another to get to the dock. Two is if it is an extremely dry year, sometimes the river levels are low, and the boats can not go through with a full passenger load.  So, you may be bussed to the next port of call where you will reunite with your ship once again. There is so much being offered by Amawaterways you will need to talk to your travel agent about this and let them know just what you are interested in doing.  They of course have shorter river cruises if you cannot take all that time. So, there you have it…EPIC Journeys in 2024.
