Wine, River Cruises and Song
Posted On: January 28, 2019
With the increasing popularity of special-interest
river cruising, wine-themed river cruises offer a new twist on a beloved
classic. These increasingly popular epicurean itineraries are taking the market
by storm, according to our counsellors, who have been boldly venturing forth to
experience them first-hand.
Here are two
recommended vacations from the experts at LeGrow’sTravel – the first is a flavorful
foray through the vineyards and culinary centers of Paris and Normandy and the
second is a wine-lovers sailing along the stunning Danube River, with port
stops in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic.

“A wine-themed river
cruise offers the perfect pairing of locally sourced wine and specialty dining
with the thrill of travel. I should know because I just experienced it for
myself with AMA Waterways! It’s such a relaxing way to see some of the most
beautiful corners of Europe in five-star comfort.”
From the glamour of Paris to the stunning coastline and
incredible food of Normandy, the 7-day Paris and Normandy Wine Cruise with AMA
Waterways offers a cornucopia of culinary delights and sensory experiences.
