Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Today, I'll highlight the Danube River sailings of AmaWaterways, known for its impeccable service, superb cuisine and Wellness Program. Seven AmaWaterways ships will cruise the Danube in 2020, including the new, groundbreaking AmaMagna.

Here are some great AmaWaterways offers for our customers, for sailings on the Danube and other rivers in Europe and on the Mekong in Southeast Asia. They must be booked by October 31.

Fly for free from select gateways, plus save $200 per couple off the cruise price of 2020 sailings.

The upfront price of your AmaWaterways vacation includes sightseeing, meals and unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner, plus a "Sip & Sail" cocktail hour. It also includes AmaWaterways' Wellness Program, where wellness hosts lead a variety of fitness classes and lectures. Join a morning yoga session on the sundeck or a heart-pumping cardio class.

And so you'll never miss out on the views as you're cruising the Danube, AmaWaterways ships have staterooms with twin balconies: a French balcony with glass doors that open to a railing and a full balcony that you can walk out on.

AmaWaterways offers passengers several complimentary options for exploring each port of call along the Danube, from walking tours of historic districts and guided hiking and biking excursions to introductions to the local culture through its food and drink.

In Nuremberg, Germany, options include a tour of Old Town sights like Nuremberg Castle and Market Square, an exploration of the city's World War II history and a culinary excursion with samplings of local bratwurst, rotbier (red beer) and the gingerbread known as lebkuchen.

In Passau, follow your local guide down cobblestone lanes to sights like St. Stephen's Cathedral, which houses a massive, 17,774-pipe organ. If you're looking for something a bit more active here, AmaWaterways schedules bike excursions along the Danube and hikes to the Veste Oberhaus fortress.

When the ship docks in Weissenkirchen in Austria's Wachau Valley, you can go on a guided stroll of the village and then visit Melk Abbey. Or, join a bicycling excursion to Melk or a wine tasting in nearby Durnstein.

In Vienna, AmaWaterways highlights grand sights like the Opera House and the imperial Hofburg Palace. Guests also can bike to the 12th-century Klosterneuburg Abbey.

Bratislava is the only national capital that borders two other countries (Austria and Hungary), and it offers baroque palaces and a picturesque Old Town. While here, guests can participate in a "Tastes of Slovakia" tour or hike up to Bratislava Castle.

The Danube flows through the Hungarian capital of Budapest, where guests explore both the hilly Buda side and the flat and sprawling Pest side of the river. Visit the lively Great Market Hall or trek up Castle Hill for spectacular city views.

In Belgrade, the Serbian capital, AmaWaterways passengers can tour the Royal Palace, bike or hike to the Belgrade Fortress or sample Serbian plum brandy and other local treats at the Quburich Distillery.

The new AmaMagna sails the Danube exclusively. At twice the width of traditional European riverboats, the 196-guest ship provides more cabin space, more dining venues and more leisure opportunities. Among its unique features is a water-sports platform at the aft containing a small boat that carries up to 14 guests on more intimate excursions along the river.
