7-Night Trip on AmaViola
Captivating Rhine (Wine Cruise)
Cruise, Small Ship/Yacht, River cruise
Amsterdam to Basel Cruise
Contoured by vineyard-clad hills and castles from yesteryear, the legendary Rhine captivates – and we invite you discover the flavor of this tantalizing region on a Celebration of Wine River Cruise with enhanced epicurean experiences included in the price of your cruise. Immerse yourself in France’s Alsace region in its welcoming capital, Strasbourg, and its priceless gem, Riquewihr. Discover Breisach, rising above the vineyards of the Rhine, and Freiburg, one of Germany’s sunniest cities and gateway to the Black Forest. Fabled towns lost in time present you with the chance to taste local flavors-Rüdesheimer coffee and legendary German beer-and to touch history up close with guided hikes and bike rides. From Amsterdam’s colorful canals to Germany’s Black Forest, journey into the heart of the destinations you visit.

About AmaViola
Ship Overview
AmaViola
Brightly colored floral and geometric patterns from stateroom to Main Lounge immediately show you that the AmaViola is no ordinary river cruise ship. Twin balconies in most staterooms maximize your enjoyment as steeples and vineyards glide by. Mouthwatering cuisine worthy of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an exclusive and internationally-renowned gastronomic society, is served from sunrise to sunset. There’s something symphonic about the flourish and style of The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant and the coordinated effort to serve each bold, beautiful and delicious course of the regionally-inspired tasting menu. Butterfly wallpaper in the hair salon highlights how you’ll emerge brand new while an inviting sun-deck pool with a swim-up bar refreshes your spirit. Plus, AmaViola inspires you to be the best version of yourself with a walking track, fitness room and fleet of onboard bikes to keep you happy and healthy during your cruise.
