Festive Delights on the Rhine!
I’m thrilled to announce my newest hosted group — and I’d love for you to consider joining us for a magical kickoff to the holiday season in 2027!
We’ll be sailing AmaWaterways’ Festive Delights itinerary from Basel to Amsterdam aboard the beautiful AmaSerena, departing November 23, 2027. This unique sailing blends twinkling lights, cozy winter villages, and early holiday cheer along the Rhine.
🗓 Cruise Snapshot
• Ship: AmaSerena
• Itinerary: Swiss Alps & Rhine Castles – Festive Delights
• Dates: November 23–30, 2027
• Embark: Basel

✨ What is “Festive Delights”?
It’s not a full “Christmas Markets” cruise, as not all markets may be open just yet — but many are, especially in Germany and France, and you’ll still enjoy rich seasonal ambiance, winter charm, and onboard celebrations. Here’s a helpful guide to Christmas market openings.
🌟 Why This Sailing Is Special
• Excellent availability across all stateroom categories
• One of the only Festive Delights dates still offering a promotion
• Choose your bonus: UNTIL JUNE 30,2026

🚢 Meet Your Ship: AmaSerena
🌟Pricing: UNTIL JUNE 30, 2026
📌 Important Note:
These promotional offers are capacity-controlled and can be withdrawn at any time. Although this is a 2027 sailing, Festive Delights itineraries are booking up quickly — and this is one of the few with a promotion still available.
More than 85% of Festive Delights & Christmas Markets sailings in 2026 are already sold out, and many travelers are shifting to 2027 due to limited upgraded staterooms (French Balconies and above) remaining for 2026.
Of course, couples, friends, and solos are welcome to join me. This will not be a special solo departure, with mostly solo women – however, I am still working on another idea.
Let’s reserve your special holiday, and come travel with me. It’d be my pleasure to work with you to secure your spot, and create unforgettable memories together.
If this experience is on your radar, don’t wait to secure your spot.
🛎 Interested?
I’d be happy to place a courtesy hold for you while we explore your options. Just reply to this note — I’d love to help you experience this unforgettable holiday journey. Let’s get you booked this week!
Warmly,
