At 46 nights, the trip is the longest and most ambitious cruise sailing that AmaWaterways has offered. “With the pent-up demand for travel we are seeing and the increase in requests for our longer cruises, we feel this is the perfect time to introduce our incredible, all-new Seven River Journey” said Rudi Schreiner, the company’s president.

AmaWaterways briefly returned to cruising in July, before canceling its 2020 cruise season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company specializes in river cruises, mostly in Europe, but also in Asia and Africa. Its trips tend to prioritize wellness and include hiking and biking options, as well as onboard yoga and fitness centers.
