AmaWaterways is elevating its focus on wellness with the launch of "Celebration of Wellness River Cruises," offering travelers an experience focused on physical health and mental well-being. These specially crafted itineraries provide guests with the opportunity to explore Europe’s iconic destinations through a focus on wellness.
These excursions are tailored for active travelers and include extended hikes and bike tours, and guided runs, as well as at least six daily host-led wellness classes such as Champagne Yoga, core strengthening, circuit training, dance and resistance band stretching. A specially curated healthy menu will be available throughout the journey, complemented by a morning juice bar. Onboard Wellness Talks will provide further insights into maintaining a balanced lifestyle, while two dedicated Wellness Hosts will be on hand to offer personalized support. The first Celebration of Wellness River Cruises are available on two summer sailings in 2025: "Melodies of the Danube" (August 2-9, 2025) and "Paris & Normandy" (August 9-16, 2025).
The first Celebration of Wellness Cruise will take place on the seven-night "Melodies of the Danube" itinerary (Budapest to Vilshofen), from August 2 to 9, 2025. Designed with both active travelers and wellness enthusiasts in mind, this cruise comes with the guidance of two Wellness Hosts and gives guests a chance to connect with nature, explore new avenues of wellness on board, and enjoy extended hiking and biking excursions. Travelers will explore Old World Europe, "where empires were built, kings and queens were crowned, and some of the world’s greatest music was composed."
The second Celebration of Wellness Cruise will take place on the seven-night "Paris & Normandy" itinerary (Paris to Paris), from August 9 to 16, 2025. This departure includes a variety of guided hikes and walks through the landscapes of Northern France—from the coastal paths in Normandy to the streets of Paris. Highlights include a bike ride to the Eiffel Tower, and long walks along the historic D-Day beaches. In addition to these active excursions, guests will benefit from onboard wellness classes and personalized guidance from two dedicated Wellness Hosts.
