AmaWaterways has launched Course 5: The Rivers of France, the latest addition to its AmaAcademy online educational program for travel advisors. The new course focuses on French river sailings along the Saone, Rhone and Seine rivers and their tributaries, covering the company's French fleet (AmaDante, AmaDolce, AmaLyra and AmaKristina) and various itineraries with optional land packages.

"France consistently ranks as one of the world's top travel destinations, known for its captivating culture, exquisite cuisine and rich history," said Alex Pinelo, senior vice president of sales. "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."

Travel advisors who complete any AmaAcademy course can earn a $50 gift card by booking a new reservation within 90 days of completing the class. Additionally, those who complete Course 1: Heart of the River qualify for reduced FAM fares.

The full AmaAcademy curriculum now includes five courses:
- Course 1: AmaWaterways, Heart of the River - covers company history and product features
- Course 2: The Danube River - focuses on selling Danube River cruises
- Course 3: Group Business - addresses group savings and business development
- Course 4: The Rhine, Main and Moselle Rivers - details cruises and land packages along these waterways
- Course 5: The Rivers of France - explores French itineraries and regional offerings
