AMA repositions The Amadagio to the South of France
AmaWaterways is currently transporting the AmaDagio from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Marseille, France to operate 7-night cruises on the Rhone River starting on March 29, 2012. The voyage from its current location in the Netherlands will take the ship through the English Channel, around Spain and Portugal and through the Strait of Gibraltar before it docks in Marseille, France. Previously, the AmaDagio served the Rhine, Mosel and Danube itineraries.
The AmaDagio has 71 170-square-foot staterooms and four 255-square-foot Junior Suites. Inside the exquisitely decorated staterooms are all the amenities of a fine hotel with white-on-white plush bedding, a cozy sitting area, individually controlled air-conditioning and ample closet space. Eighty percent of all staterooms and Junior Suites feature large French balconies.
As part of AmaWaterway’s 15-day Provence and Spain cruise-tour itinerary, the ship will begin sailing 7-night cruises in France between Lyon and Arles in March through the end of the year. Excursions include the Beaujolais wine region; tours of Roman ruins; and stops at UNESCO World Heritage Site of Avignon and Arles, where Vincent Van Gogh spent much of his life. After the cruise, guests will visit the medieval town of Perpignan, France before ending their voyage in Barcelona.
“The AmaDagio provides the best ship for our guests on this beautiful excursion,” said AmaWaterways President and Co-Owner Rudi Schreiner. “Our guests are like family to us and we want the AmaWaterways luxury travel experience to come to life. ”
The AmaDagio features the latest in onboard entertainment with HD-TVs featuring the Infotainment system offering keyboard with internet access, English language TV stations, a large selection of movies and numerous music programs. Additional amenities include a full-service restaurant, wellness area with glassed-in fitness room, complimentary Wi-Fi and bicycles to explore the small towns and cities along the route.
AmaWaterways’ President Rudi Schreiner will host a President's Wine Cruise on the March 29 departure with special guests from the Chappellet Winery and the Central Coast Wine Classic of California.
