CALABASAS, CA – (February 12, 2019) – Ama (or “Amor”) means love, and AmaWaterways is celebrating its favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day, with special offers for guests and rewards for its valued travel partners. The specials include sailings on the highly anticipated AmaMagna (pictured right), twice the width of traditional river cruise ships debuting this May with seven-night cruises on the Danube.
With AmaWaterways’ popular Sell Five, Sail Free incentive program, travel advisors who make five new FIT bookings on any 2019 sailing can receive a free seven–night cruise*, valid on 2019 or 2020 departures. New for 2019, travel advisors who double the five FIT bookings will earn a free cruise on the extraordinary AmaMagna.
“We’re thrilled to extend a special reward to travel advisors, who play such an important role in our company’s success,” said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-owner of AmaWaterways. “This is a historic and record-breaking year for AmaWaterways with the launch of three new ships, the most ever since our company’s inception. With so many exciting opportunities and new offerings, there is no shortage of memories to be made by guests and travel advisors on our ships!”
Just in time for Valentine’s day, couples who book July 21 or July 28, 2019 departures on board
AmaMagna can save up to $1,200 per stateroom, or book one of the ship’s ocean–style, triple occupancy suites and the third guest sharing the suite sails for free*. Ideal for multigenerational families or a group of friends who are looking for an unforgettable vacation, the long awaited AmaMagna features a total of 98 staterooms, most of which are spacious suites measuring between 355 and 710 sq. ft., which can be comfortably shared with that special someone.
In addition to AmaMagna’s special offer, AmaWaterways is delivering WAVE savings of $200 per stateroom on select 2019 Europe, Southeast Asia and Christmas Market sailings***. Available through March 31, 2019, WAVE savings can be combined with existing retail offers and savings for past guests.
