In celebration of National Wine Day on May 25, 2016, AmaWaterways is offering savings on its wine-themed cruises along the Danube, Douro, Mosel, Rhine, Rhone and Seine Rivers.

If booked by June 30, 2016, travelers can save up to $1,500 per stateroom. The wine sailings are hosted by wine experts and include complimentary lectures, wine tastings, fine dining paired with wines, exclusive shore excursions to vineyards and wineries and private wine cellar tours.

Additionally, AmaWaterways has also recently launched its new seven-night Taste of Bordeaux itinerary for exploration in the renowned wine region along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line has again updated its "Free at Sea" promotion to include up to five free perks through June 30, 2016.

Cruisers who reserve a new five-day or longer voyage in an oceanview, balcony or mini-suite cabin can choose two of the following offers: free Unlimited Beverages, free Specialty Dining package, free shore excursion credits, a free 250 minute Wi-Fi package or Norwegian's Friends & Family Sail Free perk allowing third and fourth guests to cruise free on select sailings. Those in inside or studio cabins can choose one of the offers while those in a suite or The Haven by Norwegian will receive all five, totaling up to $2,600 in value.
