Wine experts will be onboard four AmaWaterways European cruises later this year to share their knowledge with guests as they travel through wine-making regions.

The luxury river cruise line, which has a roster of wine-themed cruises, has selected four 2022 departures to be designated as European wine immersion sailings, where guests will be led through wine regions to learn about local wines and the history of European wine-making.

On the seven-night journeys, guests will have the opportunity to taste wine sourced from locations along the river cruise itineraries.

Kristin Karst, executive vice-president and co-founder of AmaWaterways, said: “We’ve continued to see an increased demand for our wine-themed cruises and are excited to introduce passionate European wine hosts to guide guests through a complete immersion into European wine.

“As part of our celebration of wine river cruises, the European wine immersion sailings will feature the popular enhanced tastings, interactive discussions and shore excursions, but will add detailed insights and experiences exclusively catered to the European wine region guests sail through.”

The four European wine immersion sailing will take place on August 4 from Lyon, October 27 from Bordeaux, October 29 from Paris, and November 8 from Luxembourg.
