Discover the River Cruise Difference
River Cruise Journeys are unlike any other form of travel, exemplifying the idea that the
voyage, and not just the destination by itself, is the adventure! A cruise on the Danube or
Rhine river is almost magical, with small-capacity ships reminiscent of the early days of
ocean cruising... intimate surroundings... shared with people who have a common interest...
exploring storybook destinations at an unhurried pace. And there is something to be said
about traveling with a group of people who, after a day or so, know you on sight, and with a
staff who knows your name and preferences almost upon meeting you.
Dock in the Heart of Town
When you are not cruising past enchanting castles or story-book villages, you are docking
right in the heart of historic city-centers like Budapest, Cologne, and Amsterdam! One foot
off the ship and you are in the center of action, ready to explore! And on a river cruise, there’s
no docking at touristy port cities, no tender ports, and no long cab rides into town.
Explore with Enriching Tours Want to explore Bratislava alongside a local or learn about the wine-growing region
of Vienna from a knowledgeable sommelier? Whether you prefer a traditional guided
tour or one geared toward a special interest, the choices are endless, and better yet -
complimentary! Both Avalon Waterways and AmaWaterways offer included tours while at
port, with plenty of options to fit your interest and pace.
Enjoy Redesigned Dining
Dining onboard a river cruise is a whole new experience! As you are out exploring, the
chefs onboard are in town, gathering local ingredients and fresh-picked produce to prepare
regional recipes designed to further enhance your cultural experience. Be delighted with
a five-course welcome dinner, marvel at local delicacy tastings, and enjoy special picked,
complimentary wines with every dinner.
Relax in Luxurious Staterooms
Never miss a sunset, historic castle or waving local as you sail the Danube or Rhine river, as
all cabins aboard AmaWaterways and Avalon Waterways are outside or balcony staterooms.
You’ll enjoy the unmatched views from large staterooms, outfitted with luxurious linens and
premium bath amenities. Enjoy free Wi-Fi from the comfort of your stateroom as well as
personalized service made to make you feel right at home.

Begin this breath-taking 12-day Journey to Zürich, Amsterdam and the Rhine with three
nights in glittering Zürich. The blueprint of Swiss perfection, Zürich boasts a renowned banking
muscle, a gorgeous alpine backdrop, and a love of good living! Tour the wonderful commercial
center as well as Old Town, Fraumunster Church with its famous Chagall windows, historical
Limmatquai and the university district. Drive along the Hoehenstrasse which offers spectacular
views into the Alps and then it’s off to Rapperswil, which is named the ‘City of Roses’. The
charming little town of Rapperswil offers unique attractions for visitors – the Rose Gardens,
the Castle, the deer park on the Lindenhof and the picturesque Old Town. After a guided
orientation tour and some time at leisure in Rapperswil, enjoy a boat ride on the Lake of Zürich.
On a day-trip, travel from Zürich trough the scenic Swiss Alps via Albis Pass and along the
shores of the Lake Lucerne. Stop first in the charming town of Lucerne and enjoy a guided tour
of the beautiful city and its main sites such as the Lion Monument, Chapel Bridge, Town Hall
and the brand new Concert and
Congress Hall. Continue on from
Lucerne to Alpnachstad via the
Zentralbahn Railway. After that
it’s up, up and away! There you
ascend the Pilatus via the world’s
steepest cogwheel railway. You
will be amazed by the panoramic
views of the Alps! Then take the
aerial and panorama gondola
cableways down to Kriens, where
a five-minute walk takes you to
your coach for the journey back
to Zürich.
Marking the end of your tour on land and start of your voyage on the Rhine, transfer to Basel
and board your AmaWaterways river cruise for a magical seven-night sailing. Visit Breisach
with its 16th century gingerbread homes, spectacular Strasbourg, capital of the Alsace region of
France and Speyer, one of Germany’s oldest cities. Pass the Rhine Gorge and legendary Lorelei
and be charmed in Cologne with its magnificent Cathedral. End your trip in Amsterdam where
an overnight stay will lend time to explore the canals, unique architecture, and vibrant cafes.
And if you wish to extend your time in Europe and discover more amazing cities on your
Journey to Zürich, Amsterdam and the Rhine, a trip extension to Vienna and Innsbruck is
available to you.
Meandering between castle-dotted hillsides, terrace-stacked vineyards, enchanting
forests and villages stolen from the world of fairy tales, runs the river Rhine. Cutting
through the Rhenish Slate mountains between Rudesheim and Koblenz, the Rhine
River offers the most magical mixture of beauty and legend. Sail past the fabled
Lorelei, through the Rhine Gorge—a UNESCO World Heritage site—and marvel at the

On this enchanting Enrichment Journey you will explore legendary cities and sail into
the pages of a storybook, through landscapes wrapped in history, and past turrets
and towers steeped in legend on the magical Danube river. The Danube is the longest
river in Europe, traveling from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, with a world of color in
between. Dating back to its days as the northernmost frontier of the Roman empire and
later as a center for trade in Medieval Europe, the towns and cities that have developed
along the Danube are both rich in history and culturally unique.
Prague welcomes you as you begin a memorable 13-day Journey to Castles and Capitals
on the Danube! Spend three nights getting to know one of Europe’s most romantic and
historic cities, with a rich past that can be seen in Prague’s preserved architecture, ancient
castles and iconic landmarks. You will be left in awe with a tour to the unforgettable Charles
Bridge where elegant buildings, baroque statues and golden spires flank both sides while
the imposing Prague Castles towers above. And travel back in time over 600 years while
touring Old Town Square as history encompasses you in the dramatic Gothic, Baroque, and
Romanesque buildings, magnificent churches and the iconic astrological clock. Visit the
Italian-style Valdstejn Gardens and explore the city´s Lesser Town, one of Prague’s UNESCO
World Heritage Sites among many other unforgettable attractions in Prague.
Prague’s beauty and past is equally matched by that of Budapest, and you will have the
opportunity to make the vibrant Hungarian capital your own over two nights. Budapest is
a city of thermal baths, striking architecture, music,
and above all else, the Danube river. Tour Fisherman’s
Bastion where the neo-gothic structure will amaze
you and the unobstructed city views will prove
unmatched. Visit the Hungarian Parliament and
Buda Castle, the icons of both the Pest and Buda side
of the city, as well as the iconic Chain Bridge which
connects them. Take a bite out of Budapest’s culinary
scene and sample Hungarian specialties of pastries,
goulash and matzo ball soup while enjoying the vivid
surroundings of a street cafe.
Budapest is the Queen of the Danube, and after time spent enjoying her views, next in your
Journey is a magical seven-night cruise sailing her waters. It is along this storied river that
you will learn about the Hapsburgs and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire that once
stretched from Berlin to Budapest and beyond, as you sail past medieval castles, gingerbread
houses, and hill-side vineyards. A highlight of your cruise is sure to be a tour of Austria’s
renowned Melk Abbey and a visit to Passau, a charming city situated at the confluence of the
Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. You will also visit glittering Vienna, where kings and queens once
waltzed and where a stop for coffee takes on a life of its own.
And if you wish to extend your time in Europe and discover more amazing cities on your
Journey to Castles and Capitals, trip extensions to both Berlin and Munich are available to you.

At the crossroad of Europe, Asia and Africa, both culturally and geographically, the Holy Land
has been a patchwork of religions, empires and traditions for centuries. Israel is a sparkling
fusion of past and present, and Petra, Jordan’s “lost city,” is a mystifying display of history,
while the Dead Sea is a natural wonder.
Your 25-day Journey to the Holy Land and Danube River starts with two nights in
Tel Aviv where tours to Independence Hall, Old Jaffa, Carmel Market and more will reveal some
of the striking contrast which define the country.
Next stop is Haifa for two amazing nights. Traveling
along the Mediterranean coast from Tel Aviv to
Haifa will be a picturesque voyage, and with visits
to the inspiring Tunisian Synagogue in Akko, Safed,
the Holy City on the Galilee mountains, and more,
you will be offered a first taste of the magnificent
trip back in time yet to come! But Haifa is more
than just a history lesson... surrounded by woodsy
Mt Carmel with infinite views of the sea, winding
roads, and one of the world’s most beautiful gardens, Haifa’s beauty well matches its cultural
and historical significance.
Leaving Israel for Jordan, your Journey continues with three nights at the Dead Sea. Going for a
swim, or a float rather, in the Dead Sea will be one of the highlights of your trip, as you
experience the supposed healing properties of the sea, as well as the significance of taking part
in a practice highly steeped in religious heritage.
Next, discover Petra! Dating back to 312 BC, Petra announces itself with unmatched drama. Arid
dessert and red-rose mountains sharply gives way to the intricate and imposing edifice of the
Treasury, Petra’s most awe-inspiring monument. Built as a tomb for a Nabataen king in a grand
statement of wealth, the Treasury greatly exemplifies the great advancement of the ancient
Arabic people. Marvel at the rest of Petra’s soaring temples, elaborate royal tombs, a theater, as
well as intricate water channels.
Returning back to Israel, spend four nights in the divine Jerusalem. This 3000 year-old walled
city will leave you speechless with its combination of beauty, religion and spirit. Then, depart
the Holy Land for Europe, beginning with two nights in Budapest, the “Queen of the Danube.”
Discover this vibrant city where every corner turned brings new sights and sounds. From the
iconic Parliament building, Chain bridge, Fisherman’s Bastion, and the imposing Royal Palace,
there is no shortage of treasures to discover!
In contrast to your time in the Holy Land, your Journey takes a turn as you board
AmaWaterways for seven-nights sailing the legendary Danube. Experience the enchanting
towns and villages of Regensburg, Nuremberg, and Vienna, each with its own local flavor and
traditions which will make your cruise on the Danube truly memorable.
End your Journey in one of Europe’s most beautiful and historic cities, Prague. Spend three
in-depth nights touring this incredible city with its rich past encompassed in diverse
architecture, long-standing traditions, imposing castles and iconic landmarks.

Poland may be Europe’s best-kept secret! While its image might be stuck in a gloomy
shipyard, in reality, Poland is a scenic wonderland with a belt of freshwater lakes shimmering
amidst picturesque hills and primeval forests. After numerous invasions and devastating
war, reminders of its tumultuous past are everywhere, yet the country wears them proudly.
Poland stands remarkably transformed yet well-preserved, filled with fairytale medieval cities,
humbling historic sites, magnificent castles, and palaces.
Discover Poland and the heart of Europe on this unique 20-day Journey to Poland and the
Danube! Start with three nights in historic Krakow and learn about the Camelot-like legends
as you tour the Royal Castle and Wawel Cathedral. Stroll through Europe’s largest town square
and then stray from the city to the natural green wonderland of the Tatra Mountains. Here,
experience the unique music, costume, architecture and cuisine of the goral mountain culture.
Continue on with two nights in Wroclaw. Nestled on the banks of the Odra River, this unique
city with a character all its own is an idyllic jumble of bridges, riverside parks and preserved
Baroque and Gothic architecture. As a highlight to your time in Wroclaw, enjoy dinner and an
evening with local families where you will sample home-made food and engage in a cultural
interchange to see how people live and share their daily life. Next stop, Gdansk for two nights!
Journey to the region of ‘Wielkopolska’, considered the birthplace of Poland in the 10th century,
as you tour Pozan on your way to Gdansk. Get a taste for the past and present with an
excursion to Westerplatte, the site of the first bullet fired of WWII. Then enjoy a well deserved
tour of Lech Brewery with samples of the “wondrous golden drink.” In Gdansk, see all the
highlights such as Fountain of Neptune, Crane Gate, beautiful townhouses of Long Market,
Prison Tower, and the most famous monument of Gdansk – St Mary’s Church.
Your time in Poland ends in Warsaw. During your transfer from Gdansk to Warsaw, visit Castle
of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, founded in 1274, as well as beautiful Masuria – Iława lakes
region. Once in Warsaw, spend two nights discovering Poland’s capital. Razed to the ground
during WWII and now rebuilt to the same design as before, see Palace of Culture, a reminder of
the Communist era, the Chopin Monument in Łazienki Park, the Historical Museum and more.
Onto Budapest! Enjoy two nights in this amazing city with tours on and off the beaten track,
from Fisherman’s Bastion to the pusztas, the Hungarian country-side where an incredible horse
show and meal in a traditional farm-tavern await! From here, board your AmaWaterways or
Avalon Waterways ship (depending on departure) for a magical voyage down the Danube
river with ports of call featuring Bratislava, Melk, Vienna, Passau, Linz and more!

East meets west on this unusual journey that combines exotic Istanbul and mysterious
Cappadocia with legendary Budapest and the enchanting ports along the Danube. Diverse
landscapes, rich culture, deep-rooted traditions and sacred ancient lands live large in Turkey.
Julius Caesar famously “came, saw and conquered,” and St Paul left his mark as he traversed
the country, lending to Turkey’s rich historical past. Istanbul’s Ottoman sultans left their
mark with luxurious palaces, and the Byzantine created the fairy chimneys and mystifying
underground cave cities in Cappadocia. And between Turkey’s topography, storied landmarks
and religious significance, lives hearty locals and a lifestyle where ‘a cup of coffee commits one
to 40 years of friendship.’
Three nights in Istanbul will prove to be
unforgettable as you begin your Journey to
Istanbul, Cappadocia and the Danube. Step
back into the lives of the Ottoman sultans when
you visit Topkapi Palace. Try to imagine what it
was like to live here as you explore the Council
Chamber, the Imperial Kitchens and the Harem.
Then, enter another world in the Grand Bazaar,
the largest covered market in the world with
over 4,000 shops. Board a boat and cruise across
the Bosphorus Strait for a visit to Asia. Walk through the Hippodrome and into history. Visit
Hagia Sophia, famous for its massive dome and considered by many to be the epitome of
Byzantine architecture. Look in wonder at the Blue Mosque, built in 1609, a prime example of
Turkish Islamic architecture with its six minarets and cascading domes that dominate the city
skyline.
Cappadocia will be not only be a highlight of your Journey, but of all your past travels, as it
is truly a one-of-a-kind destination. Explore the volcanic, almost lunar, landscape with visits
to the Devrent and Pasabag valleys, to see the amazing fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. Tour
an interesting and amazing Underground City and explore its maze of passages, seeing
underground stables and cellars, while learning about the early Christians who once hid here
to escape persecution. See the rock citadel of Uchisar, the tallest point in Cappadocia. Visit
the Göreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Resembling a huge monastic
complex, the museum showcases eleven early Christian, rock-cut churches containing
beautiful frescoes whose colors are still vibrant after countless centuries.
Traveling west, your tour continues with three nights in fabulous Budapest, the “Queen of the
Danube!” Discover this vibrant city where every corner turned brings new sights and sounds.
With tours to the iconic Parliament Building, Chain Bridge, Fisherman’s Bastion, and the
imposing Royal Palace, there is no shortage of treasures to discover!
After time spent enjoying Budapest’s views, next is a magical seven-night AmaWaterways
or Avalon Waterways cruise sailing the Danube’s waters. It is along this storied river that
you will learn about the Hapsburgs and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire as you sail past
medieval castles, baroque cathedrals and hill-side vineyards. A highlight of your cruise is sure

The heart of Europe is transformed during the holidays. Charming villages turn Winter
Wonderlands, legendary yule markets abound, and sweet holiday scents dance in the air. And
the best way to see extravagantly decorated European cities, snow-capped villages glittering
along historic riverbanks, and renowned Christmas Markets is on a luxurious Danube river
cruise! Sail through the charming region where so many of today’s most beloved Christmas
traditions originated and experience a number of enchanting Christmas markets in places such
as Regensburg, Nuremberg, and Vienna, each with its own local flavor and traditions.
Say hello to Prague as your magnificent 13-day Journey to Christmas Markets on the
Danube starts in a city that is magical all year-round, but even more so under the holiday
glow. Spend two nights discovering why Prague is considered one of Europe’s most attractive
cities, with a historic city center that’s recognized
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the 1,000
year-old Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral.
Spend time in Valdstejn Gardens and walk the iconic
Charles Bridge. During time on your own, warm up
in one of Prague’s many pubs with a locally brewed
libation, stroll through a museum, or wander the
banks of the Vltava River. Then visit Prague’s yule
markets, Vanocni Trh, the largest holiday market
in the world! Set amidst the medieval atmosphere of the Old Town Square, marvel at the
towering Christmas tree, enjoy choral concerts, sample traditional holiday foods and shop for
one-of-a-kind decorations and gifts.
Traveling from one amazing city to another, transfer from Prague to Budapest. Truly a feast
for the eyes, Budapest boasts extraordinary examples of baroque, neoclassical, eclectic and
art nouveau buildings. Dusted in sparkling snow, decorated with twinkling lights, and alive
with excitement, discover all the highlights from the iconic Parliament building, impressive
Chain bridge, exquisite Fisherman’s Bastion, and the imposing Royal Palace. During your
time at leisure, check out one of Budapest’s traditional bathhouses, local flea markets, and a
booming ‘foodie’ scene! After two nights spent in Budapest, your Journey continues aboard
AmaWaterways, with a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas time cruise along the Danube.
Germany’s largest, oldest, and most popular holiday market, the Nuremberg Christmas Market
offers 180 market stalls selling baked goods, roasted bratwurst, hot wine, handcrafted toys, and
unique gifts such as Nuremberg Plum People – folksy little figurines made from dried prunes.
Vienna takes the holiday season very seriously, with decorations that rival those of any city
in Europe and streets filled with the aromas of candied fruit, freshly baked gingerbread and
roasting chestnuts. The city’s venerable 700-year old Christkindlmärkt on Rathausplatz will be
one of the most memorable stops of your trip.
Experience a twist on the traditional Christmas Markets in Linz. Known as the “Town of
Christmas Crèches,” Linz Christmas Markets offer workshops where people can make their own
Christmas gifts on the main square and in the Volksgarten.
