Explore Europe Differently with AmaWaterways City Escapes

If you enjoy taking your time in a destination instead of rushing through it, AmaWaterways City Escapes river cruises offer a different way to experience Europe.

These specially curated itineraries focus on longer stays in some of Europe’s most fascinating cities, allowing you to explore at a slower pace during the quieter travel months when destinations feel more relaxed and less crowded. It is an ideal option for both first time river cruisers and returning guests looking for a new perspective.

City Escapes itineraries include unique local experiences designed to bring each destination to life. Depending on the journey, this could mean exploring Paris through its artistic and historical stories, visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, discovering Vienna’s underground lake or enjoying regional cuisine in Strasbourg.

On board, the experience is just as thoughtful, with included wine, beer and cocktails, regionally inspired dining and the comfortable, welcoming atmosphere river cruising is known for.

For a limited time, select 2026 City Escapes departures also offer savings of up to $2,400 per stateroom, along with a complimentary stateroom upgrade and $100 onboard credit. This offer is available until June 30, 2026.

For travellers looking to experience Europe in a more meaningful way, these itineraries offer the perfect balance of discovery and relaxation.
