Take your river cruise to the next level with AmaWaterways.
Yes, you can have it all. A river cruise with AmaWaterways is always an exceptional experience, but did you know that adding a pre-cruise or post-cruise land package can transform a great vacation into the trip of a lifetime? Whether it’s exploring the ancient streets of Rome, wandering through the vibrant markets of Ho Chi Minh City, or marveling at the architectural wonders of Budapest, a land package takes your travels above and beyond.
The Many Perks of Adding a Land Package
Seamless Integration
AmaWaterways’ land packages are seamlessly integrated with your river cruise, ensuring the smoothest transition from land to water, and vice versa. With overnight stays at 4- and 5-star hotels located conveniently near major sites, these packages offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. You’ll appreciate the luxury of settling into your hotel without worrying about all the logistics (boring), allowing you to focus fully on the adventures that await (so not boring).

Immersive Experiences
Each land package is designed to offer an immersive experience of the local culture, history, and cuisine. City tours led by knowledgeable local guides provide insights into the heart and soul of each destination: Visit Transylvania’s infamous Bran Castle (yes, also known as Dracula’s Castle), enjoy a tasting of Czech beer while learning about its history, wake up early to watch the sunrise over Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, or have a ritzy moment on a Lake Como boat ride to Bellagio in Italy. Carefully curated activities like these ensure that you’re fully engaging with each place you visit.
