AMAWATERWAYS and Crystal Cruises have both detailed their plans for a restart on Europe’s rivers.
Sailing in Portugal from 03 Jul aboard AmaDouro, AmaWaterways will also return to France’s rivers, such as the Danube, Saone, Seine, Rhine and Rhone throughout the rest of the month.
“We are so excited to see the situation in Europe evolving in a positive direction and are very optimistic about the new tourist entry requirements that will be officially announced in the coming days,” said AmaWaterways President Kristin Karst.
Crystal will resume on 29 Aug, the line revealed in a letter to advisors, with no further details about itineraries – only that they would look different.
Instead, Crystal said it is assessing its final ship deployment for 2021, with further details to be communicated once decisions are made.
“I am pleased to announce that plans are well underway to resume river cruising in Europe beginning 29 Aug, as we are cautiously optimistic about the recent news from the European Union allowing entry for vaccinated travellers,” said Crystal Senior Vice President & Managing Director Walter Littlejohn.
