Managing director of AmaWaterways Australia and New Zealand, Steve Richards said that the new cruise has been created after repeated requests from travel advisors seeking a river cruise experience tailored specifically to women travelling together.

“This is one of those ideas that has come directly from our travel advisor community,” said Richards. “They’ve been telling us they’re seeing more women wanting to travel together, whether that’s lifelong friends, sisters, mothers and daughters or solo travellers looking to meet new people in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

“We know women already make many of the travel decisions within a household, but we’re also seeing a real rise in women choosing to travel on their own terms. This cruise gives them the confidence to do that while enjoying everything AmaWaterways is known for, from exceptional dining and immersive excursions to outstanding wines and genuine connection.”
