Cruiseable's take
Many more people would spring for a cruise on one of AmaWaterways' world-class river ships if only it weren't for pricey international air fare. AmaWaterways has removed that barrier with a very nice sweetener. If you've been considering a romantic European river cruise, this is an excellent choice.
