AmaWaterways today released details of its new Ultimate Cruise Flexibility program*, designed to provide travel agents and their clients with greater peace of mind and flexibility when planning exceptional river cruise holidays. Individual and group bookings for 2021 cruises in Europe and Asia, made by January 31, 2021, will have several options to protect their river cruise holidays, starting with the Ultimate Cruise Flexibility program, which offers free rescheduling of the river cruise portion of the trip.
“Planning future vacations is a joy, and we know that travel agents and their clients are prioritizing flexibility and peace of mind more than ever in the current landscape,” said Kristin Karst, co-founder and executive vice president of AmaWaterways. “Ultimate Cruise Flexibility ensures travelers feel confident booking their next river cruise and can get excited about the many breathtaking experiences waiting to be discovered on the world’s rivers. International travel will begin to rebound in 2021, and we want to ensure our guests feel comfortable booking in advance so they can celebrate those missed moments of 2020 on their favorite ship and in their stateroom.”.
All 2021 European and Asian cruises booked by January 31, 2021, are protected by the Ultimate Cruise Flexibility program. This complimentary policy allows guests to reschedule their river cruise through 2023 at no additional cost. Rescheduling for any reason can be done up to 48 hours before the start of services purchased through AmaWaterways at no charge. For those booking additional travel elements through AmaWaterways, from enriching pre- or post-cruise land packages to additional flights and hotel nights, the Travel Waiver Plus can be purchased to cover cancellations for any reason up to 24 hours before the start of all services purchased through AmaWaterways.
AmaWaterways takes travelers through the heart of the countries they cruise on the world’s stunning rivers, exploring charming towns and cities along the way. With five new itineraries and new pre- and post-cruise land packages debuting in 2021, guests can choose from hidden gems like the colorful Nubian village of Hessa in Egypt or experience some of the world’s most sought-after destinations, such as Lake Como, Italy, also known as the “James Bond” of the Italian lakes.
In 2021 AmaWaterways will launch three new ships, including the luxurious AmaDahlia on the legendary Nile River and the elegant twin ships AmaSiena and AmaLucia on the Rhine River.
