This fall is shaping up to be an exciting time for AmaWaterways. Recognizing the growing demand for river cruising, the line is launching a series of hosted wine theme voyages along some of the most spectacular waterways in Europe.

Dubbed “In Celebration of Wine”, these cruises offered in October and November boast some amazing opportunities to immerse yourself in the rich cultural winemaking history of Europe while at the same time revel in exploring some of Europe’s most fascinating cities and towns during the comfort of the off-season.
Dubbed “In Celebration of Wine,” these cruises in October and November boast some amazing opportunities to immerse yourself in the rich cultural winemaking history of Europe while at the same time revel in exploring some of Europe’s most fascinating cities and towns during the comfort of the off-season, plus travel with wine experts from top vineyards.
Some plusses for river cruising in the fall:
- Low prices on European airfares. Airfares in late October and early November allow you to get some of the best value airfare all year. On its special, “In Celebration of Wine” voyages, AmaWaterways is even offering free companion airfare. It’s just another nice touch designed to make these some of the most accessible voyages on offer this year.
- No lines or crowding. Cities and attractions that would be overcrowded during the summer become calm and serene during October and November. That same relaxed atmosphere is true of major attractions and museums, and finding seating at that quaint café on the corner is effortless.

So how’s the weather?
I’ve spent October days in Europe that were gorgeous. And in November, sure, you may need to bundle up in a sweater or a jacket. Amsterdam’s average temperatures, for example, range from a low of 44F to an average high of 58F during October. November averages are about 10 degrees lower.
