Tulip Time Cruise - Inaugural Sailing

Holland and Belgium - 4/2012

A tulip cruise is a perfect way to greet springtime.  

The flowers are at their best from about mid-March through mid May. I cruised on the AMAWaterways AmaCerto on a 7 night cruise. Our days were filled with the opportunity to explore several intriguing cities and villages of the Netherlands and Belgium either with a guide or independently. The beautiful AmaCerto was making its inaugural sailing. 

The crew did an excellent job of taking care of all the passengers –keeping us well fed, educated and busy.

Take all the free Culinary Walking Tours
There are walking tours for different levels and wheelchairs may be available.

Reserve the free small dining room early on in the trip.

Forget the price. This trip is real value and a unique experience.

 


 

Pros: Walking tours especially culinary tours, food, wine with dinner, service, intimate feel, free postcards and postage and lots more.

Cons: Not much downtime, awkward bathroom counter space, sailing at night , not seeing much scenery from the water and the weather.

AMA Waterways Amacello Christmas Cruise

Christmas markets Trier to Amsterdam - 12/2009

Excellent holiday sailing aboard intimate, warm ship.  Crew treats passengers as family, sharing holiday traditions and stories.

Holiday cruising with AMA Waterways is delightful.  The warmth of the crew, atmosphere and decor of the ship, and fabulous itinerary combine to delight and create a festive holiday experience.

Special events were planned throughout the week:  Having ample snowfall was a bonus, making the definition of seeing castles along the Rhine dotting the snowy field magical.  Story telling sessions, local musicians, traditional-local holiday menus, and the personal touch of local guides bring the AMA Waterway's caring spirit into every experience.

Food and wine was generous, local and top quality.  Staff took time to know passengers, shared holiday traditions and embraced the diversity of all passengers.  Each village visited was unique and beautiful - a magical way to celebrate the holidays, make new friends and discover another beautiful part of the world.

Pros: Festive, holiday away from home warmth, excellent amenities & staterooms, warmth of crew

Cons: Christmas markets closed 2 or 3 days prior to Christmas eve
