AmaWaterways announced the debut of its first-ever Loyalty Appreciation Month, which will be celebrated in November with a series of cruises enhanced with exclusive events planned to recognize and celebrate returning guests.
Five ships, AmaLea, AmaStella, AmaKristina, AmaMora and AmaMagna will welcome guests on six special cruises on the Danube and Rhine during the month of November-including a Christmas Market cruise which was added in response to repeat guests' requests.
In addition to the benefits received as part of AmaWaterways Loyalty Program, returning guests on these designated cruises will be offered a choice of one of four Loyalty Offers, exclusive events and unique experiences in different ports as well as many unexpected surprise and delight touches that AmaWaterways is known for.
Specific details will be unveiled in a new AmaWaterways Facebook group which travel advisors and past guests are encouraged to join to be among the first to learn more as information is released.
"We can't wait to reveal what we have in store onboard, as well as in port, during these very special sailings curated with love and our returning guests in mind," said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. "Our Loyalty Cruises are a way for us to recognize and celebrate our wonderful guests, who are such a valued part of the AmaWaterways family."
AmaWaterways Loyalty Appreciation Month is a new addition to what will be the company's biggest year yet, with a variety of exciting things planned for 2019.
The company recently launched its first-ever TV ad campaign, debuted its first mobile app, "myAmaCruise," added Wellness Hosts to almost all its fleet and will add three new ships on European rivers-AmaDouro launched April 6 on the Douro, the revolutionary AmaMagna set sail on the Danube May 5 and AmaMora rounding out the fleet and beginning her inaugural season on the Rhine June 3.
"Since our founding in 2002, we've seen an incredible number of repeat guests on board our ships," said Rudi Schreiner, president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. "Whether it is their second or 42nd cruise with us, we are so grateful for their loyalty, and they're a large reason why we're growing our fleet and constantly expanding our wide variety of amenities and excursions. We're excited to offer this group some surprise and delights experiences as a genuine token of our appreciation."
