Pre- or Post-cruise extension guests stay at a world-class 4- or 5-star hotel in the heart of the city, enabling you to explore locally during tours as well as shop and dine during your own leisure time. In addition, every AmaWaterways land package includes daily breakfast at the hotel and enriching city tours and excursions, convenient transfers and luggage service between guests’ hotel and river cruise ship, as well as the services of an AmaWaterways Cruise Manager who remains with the group throughout their river cruise and land journey.
The list of fascinating pre- and post-cruise destinations includes:
- Brittany, France – available on Impressions of the Seine & Paris Guests can explore the very sought-after (and luxurious) seaside resort town of Dinard on France’s Emerald Coast. Tours bring guests to the walled city of Saint-Malo, once a stronghold of privateers, and the magical island monastery of Mont St. Michel, the inspiration for Disney’s movie Tangled.
- Lisbon, Portugal – available on Enticing Douro and Flavors of Portugal & Spain The capital and largest city of Portugal, Lisbon has everything an explorer could want from a centuries-old European city - winding cobblestone streets and a skyline dotted with Medieval castles. AmaWaterways guests kick of their three-day pre-cruise with a tour of the “City of Seven Hills”, followed by tastings of typical Portuguese pastry. Before heading to the ship in Porto, guests tour Serra de Sintra, the legendary retreat of the Roman goddess Diana the Huntress, and the nearby 16th-century fairytale castle of Pena Palace.
- Prague, Czech Republic – available on several Danube, Main and Moselle itineraries Considered the “City of a Hundred Spires,” Prague is known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its UNESCO historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock. Guests can start the three-night pre- or post-cruise adventure with a tour of the city or do a castle hike. The long history of beer in the Czech Republic can only be experienced by sampling some of the world’s best beer during a special beer tasting.
- Amsterdam, Netherlands – available on several Dutch, Rhine and Moselle itineraries This two-night pre-cruise land package offers guests the opportunity to learn why Amsterdam offers far more than a stop on a river cruise. Known for its picturesque canals, historic buildings, world-class museums, and vibrant nightlife, a local expert guide leads an in-depth Amsterdam tour showing off much of what makes this one of Europe’s most popular cities. And just beyond is the city of Haarlem, where guests enjoy an enchanting cruise along one of its canals, embracing its medieval character, cobblestone streets, gabled houses and iconic windmills.
