The joys of a vacation are vivid and many: the thrill of possibility, the rush of discovery as you dive into its many intricacies and the satisfaction of coming to know a locale are similar to letting yourself acclimate to a hot tub: a sudden jump at the change, and then a serene, satiating soak at what has quickly become your new normal. The only way to top the experience? By adding just a pinch more pampering. If a river cruise was your “hot tub,” then a land package is a built-in neck massage; the perfect extra dose of enjoyment.

Rest and recovery between adventures is a breeze with a stay in a luxe hotel.
World-Class Hotels
No matter if you simply wish to sleep off your jet lag or delve extra deep into a city’s wondrous offerings before heading home, the respite provided by trusted 4- and 5-star hotels is certain to offer maximum rest and recovery between your adventures. You’ll also find these luxurious properties are often located near major sights that were already on your bucket list — such as the Blue Mosque of Istanbul, or the Paseo del Arte of Madrid.

Make the most of extra days in a port to deep dive some of Europe’s storied rivers & castles.
Included Amenities and Excursions
Of course, it doesn’t just end at luxe hotels. Land packages with AmaWaterways provide all the trappings of a hands-off, care-free luxury escape: transfers between your hotel and the river cruise ship, portage service and daily breakfast in the hotel — all taken care of.
