AmaWaterways is launching a new educational offering for travel advisors focused on its river cruises in France.

The interactive online course will offer in-depth information about the company’s sailings the Saône, Rhône and Seine rivers, as well as their tributaries. AmaWaterways has four ships sailing in France: AmaDante, AmaDolce, AmaLyra and AmaKristina.

“Providing valuable resources to support our travel advisor partners and help them grow their river cruise business remains a major focus for AmaWaterways,’’ says Alex Pinelo, senior vice president of sales for AmaWaterways. “France consistently ranks as one of the world’s top travel destinations, known for its captivating culture, exquisite cuisine and rich history. We are confident this new module will allow our partners to grow their sales through a deeper understanding of the unique river cruise experience we offer our guests.”
