The discounts are subject to limited space availability,
and not all cabin categories are available on all cruises.
We can check the most uptodate availability for you at any time,
of course.
There are three different
discounts available. You will qualify for one, two, or possibly
even all
three of them :
-
$500/1000/1500 per person - special
Travel Insider discount to everyone for one, two or three
week cruises
-
$100 per person - past Amawaterways passenger discount
-
$50 per person - if you're
an AARP member
These specials are available
only through 31 July. You must pay a $400 per person
deposit prior to that time to be eligible (the balance of your
cruise payment comes due 90 days prior to sailing).
Note that the prices shown
on the Amawaterways site are the before discount prices.
Other discounts on all other cruises too!
If none of these cruises suit, you can still get
up to three discounts off any/all Amawaterways cruises - a
special 5% Travel Insider discount, the $50 per person AARP discount,
and the $100 per person past passenger discount when you book
your Amawaterways cruise with The Travel
Insider.

Need Some Help in Choosing?
We don't just offer you
these cruises at massive discount prices. We go on them
ourselves, too! So we can help you choose the cruise that
is most likely to match what you want to see and do.
Our personal favorites?
That is hard to say, because there isn't a single cruise we
don't like! But here are three that we particularly like :
Black Sea Voyage -
This takes you through six countries that you'd probably not
easily be able to travel to and experience, other than on this
cruise. You get to see some fascinating parts of Eastern
Europe, now free once more, and the exoticism of Turkey and
Istanbul (which, believe it or not, is considered to be its most
western styled city) provides yet another dimension and contrast
on this very varied voyage.
If you have more time, the
double length Grand Danube or triple length Istanbul to Paris
cruises include the Black Sea Voyage as part of their total
itinerary, making for an even more amazing experience.
Russian Waterways -
We've always had a soft spot for Russia, but have never found an
easy way to see more of Russia than just Moscow and St
Petersburg. But this glorious cruise takes you into the
countryside and to smaller towns and cities, showing you parts
of Russia that regular westerners would never otherwise see.
Christmas Time Cruise
- Just when we're starting to feel like a Scrooge, this
wonderful cruise lightens our spirits and brings a much less
commercial Christmas experience, cruising along the Danube and
visiting wonderful craft markets along the way. This is
the way Christmas should be experienced and enjoyed.
Note the new Christmas
Wonderland Cruise offers a very similar experience, but on a
different part of the European river network.
