Introducing a new cruise line with industry rates for TIC members. Also, as a footnote, I have a few Silversea cabins in the Kimberley available for first-in!

AmaWaterways is a family-owned and operated company. From the beginning, the three families’ goal was to create a river cruise company that they would enjoy—of the highest quality, sourced food and wine, elegantly appointed ships with staterooms offering maximum views, and a crew who goes above and beyond. Ama means love (family). Within two decades, they have built a fleet of 29 river cruising ships in Europe, Asia, Africa, Colombia, and Egypt.

We will have rates available for the other destinations for 2025 sailings shortly, but we will introduce you now to their excellent value package sailings on the Nile in Egypt. The 11-night package includes 3 nights of 5-star accommodation with touring in Cairo (pre-cruise), 7 nights round trip Luxor sailing, and 1 night post-cruise in Cairo. Sailings are in May and June 24. An exclusive feature of these AmaWaterways ships is a cabin category that has both a French Balcony and an Outside Balcony.

To see the inclusions and value fully, please see the information below.
