AmaWaterways is partnering with Mandarin Oriental to launch new pre- and post-cruise land programs.
The new programs will debut in 2026. They’ll be available in select European cities, including Barcelona, Geneva, Zürich, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Vienna and Amsterdam, with Budapest to follow in 2027.
Guests will be able to extend their river cruise vacations with perks like private drivers and guides, daily excursions, hands-on demonstrations and door-to-door transfers between airport, hotel and ship.
Accommodations are provided at Mandarin Oriental properties.
“This partnership brings together two brands that share a passion for delivering authentic, personalized luxury,” says Catherine Powell, chief executive officer of AmaWaterways.
“These exclusive experiences align perfectly with our commitment to thoughtfully curated travel," Powell continued. "Our guests will have the chance to enjoy the legendary elegance of Mandarin Oriental properties while further enhancing their journey with AmaWaterways, combining the highest standards of service and attention to detail both on land and on the river.”
