Do you have clients who love river cruising but are eager to explore beyond the rivers of Europe? AmaWaterways offers exceptional river cruise experiences in Egypt and Colombia that combine luxury, comfort and authentic cultural experiences while introducing travelers to some of the world’s most fascinating and less-explored river destinations. Here’s what to share with your clients.
Exploring Egypt
AmaWaterways’ Egypt itinerary, Secrets of Egypt & the Nile, is an 11-night journey that perfectly blends the grandeur of ancient history with modern luxury. This itinerary has recently been enhanced with the addition of the expansive Grand Egyptian Museum, making it an ideal time for clients to experience this timeless destination. The trip begins with three nights in Cairo, where guests enjoy accommodations in a five-star hotel and are guided to iconic landmarks, including the Pyramids at Giza. Guests are then whisked to Luxor to embark on a seven-night cruise along the Nile River onboard AmaLilia or AmaDahlia. These ships are designed to accommodate an average of just 76 guests, providing a personalized and relaxed atmosphere.
Throughout the journey, clients are guided by expert Cruise Managers and certified Egyptologists who bring the rich history of Egypt to life. They will explore world-famous sites, such as the Valley of the Kings and Queens, and be treated to exclusive experiences, including a private lunch at the Abdeen Presidential Palace in Cairo. The combination of luxurious accommodations, expert-led excursions and unique cultural encounters ensures that travelers gain a deep understanding of Egypt’s heritage throughout their journeys.
Cruising in Colombia
On the other side of the globe, new AmaWaterways itineraries cruise Colombia’s Magdalena River, offering a captivating adventure that showcases the country’s vibrant culture, stunning biodiversity and rich history. Colombia, often called the “Land of a Thousand Rhythms,” comes alive onboard these cruises, as clients glide along the river on AmaMagdalena, which features the line's signature twin-balcony staterooms, a spacious lounge and a top deck with a pool, providing guests with a luxurious setting to relax and soak in the scenery.
The two itineraries on the Magdalena River take travelers to remarkable destinations such as Barranquilla, where the spirit of Carnival is celebrated year-round with exclusive performances filled with music and dance. A visit to Mompox reveals a town seemingly frozen in time, with stunning churches and breathtaking natural surroundings that invite exploration.
Cartagena, the jewel of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, offers a vibrant contrast with its colorful Getsemani district, a hub of artistic and culinary creativity. Throughout the cruise, guests enjoy local cuisine, such as tropical fruits, artisanal chocolates, local rum and world-renowned Colombian coffee, culminating in an intimate multi-coursedining experience curated by a local chef.
If you have clients who already appreciate river cruising, offer them the opportunity to discover new cultures and landscapes in Egypt and Colombia with the peace of mind that they will enjoy the high standards of service, comfort and inclusivity that define AmaWaterways.
