WHY IT RATES:Big saving available when booking an AmaWaterways cruise in October.-Codie Richards, TravelPulse Associate Editor


Each year, the cruise industry-led by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)-comes together for one month to support a worldwide movement to learn, plan and book a cruise vacation. The campaign offers advice to cruise veterans and rookies, cruise line deals, promotions and expert opinions to help maritime enthusiasts navigate an array of cruising options available for every travel style and budget.

In celebration of Plan a Cruise Month, AmaWaterways today announced it will offer savings of up to $1,500 per stateroom plus free pre-paid gratuities* to guests booking select Europe and Asia cruises throughout October.

"Spending quality time with family and friends is so important, and CLIA's Plan a Cruise Month encourages everyone to take a moment out of their busy schedules to plan a wonderful, much-needed cruise vacation," said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-owner of AmaWaterways.

"Plan a Cruise Month allows our industry to take center stage with so many vacation options on the market, and this is the perfect time for those interested in exploring a river cruise to connect with their travel agent, so that they can learn more about our offerings and begin looking forward to their dream vacation."

AmaWaterways' 2017 CLIA Plan a Cruise Month offer is valid on select 2017 Holiday cruises and a wide range of 2018 Europe and Asia sailings, excluding Portugal and Wine Cruises (new bookings only made between October 1-31 only). It is not valid on group bookings or combinable with single supplement waived offers.

Guests who take advantage of AmaWaterways' Plan a Cruise Month offer on our European ships will enjoy the additional savings along with a number of included biking or hiking shore excursions, award-winning cuisine at multiple dining venues-including the Chef's Table-and free-flowing complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks during lunch and dinner.

Additionally, guests will revel in the sundeck with a running track, heated pool and swim-up bar, twin-balcony staterooms-featuring both French and full outside balconies-salon and spa services; spacious lounges with panoramic views; Wi-Fi throughout the ship; and an in-room Entertainment-On-Demand system. New for 2018 is a complimentary Sip & Sail daily pre-dinner cocktail hour.
