AmaWaterways Puts Heritage On The Itinerary

AmaWaterways has added two new 2023 river cruise dates for guests to experience Heritage on the River; Your Personalized Ancestry Experience.

The special itineraries, conducted in collaboration with AmaWaterways’ partner Ancestry, will provide guests exclusive opportunities to explore their heritage with tailored experiences that educate and immerse them in the destinations their ancestors once called home.

Both seven-night cruises – the Legendary Danube cruise embarking June 17, 2023, travelling from Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary, and the Captivating Rhine cruise embarking Nov. 2, 2023, travelling from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Basel, Switzerland — will welcome guests onboard for dedicated Heritage on the River experiences, uncovering their family’s history while sailing along two of Europe’s most renowned rivers.

Guests signing up for AmaWaterways’ exclusive heritage-focused program start their experience with a pre-journey welcome call with an expert genealogist, an AncestryDNA Kit and a five-hour Ancestry research and consultation package. Once their river cruise begins, guests will be accompanied by a genealogist throughout their entire journey, providing two historical and genealogical presentations, a private consultation, a hosted lunch or dinner plus a curated excursion delving further into the heritage of the region.

To further enhance the European immersion, optional pre- and post-cruise land packages are also available and fully escorted by AmaWaterways Cruise Managers.
