AmaWaterways has announced it is extending its complimentary pre- or post-cruise land package offer as add-ons to select Europe and Egypt cruises for groups and individual travelers in 2023 until 31MAR. The offer is available on new reservations.
The offer is also available exclusively for groups in 2024. Guests who are traveling in groups and booking five or more staterooms can also work with their travel advisor to receive this exclusive free land offer on select 2024 sailings.
"When we first announced the complimentary pre- or post-cruise land packages in October, we received amazing feedback from our first-time and returning guests, as well as our travel advisor partners, as the offer was easy to communicate and offered added value of up to $3,800 per couple,” said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways.
Continuing the trend for longer stays, the free land package offer allows guests to add a complimentary two-, three- or four-night land package to their river cruise vacation, enjoying further exploration of the surrounding destinations where their river cruise begins or ends.
With AmaWaterways’ land packages, guests stay in world-class hotels enjoying concierge-level services provided by the Cruise Managers who accompany guests throughout their entire journey.
