River cruising is so vastly different from an ocean cruise, and even better…AmaWaterways recognizes US Military with some tremendous discounts on select cruises.
There are still many sailings listed for 2025, but there are also some listed for early 2026 and more to come.
What does the military discount get you? 2-for-1 discounts.
Yes, TWO people cruise for the cost of one person. Literally half off the cruise.
AmaWaterways has some great themed cruises, too, to includes locations like the visiting the EuropeansChristmas Markets, beer themed cruises, wine themed cruises, and the ever popular Tulip Time sailings which go see all the spring tulip fields in the Netherlands!
