AmaWaterways has put its 2023 European river cruises on sale seven months earlier than in previous years.
A record level of bookings in March further confirms an “extremely strong” pent-up demand, according to the company.
New itineraries ranging from five to 46 nights feature with a five per cent discount on bookings made by June 30.
New itineraries for 2023 include a series of five-night Danube sailings visiting Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna with optional new land packages in Krakow, Poland or Salzburg, plus classical music cruises.
Two journeys through 14 countries will run in spring and summer 2023, with limited availability already on the summer departure.
Company co-founder and executive vice president Kristin Karst said: “Reservations for our 2022 season are the strongest we have ever seen.
“We have already received such incredible group and charter interest for our 2023 itineraries that we decided to move ahead quickly and open up these cruises for individual bookings.
“I am excited about our new classical music cruises, five-night Danube itineraries and Seven River Journeys that have just been announced – each offers an innovative twist on traditional river cruising with unique and inspiring experiences sure to please new and returning guests.”
President and co-founder Rudi Schreiner added: “I am very optimistic on the future of river cruising and as a pioneer in this sector, we are always looking for new ways to surprise and delight our guests while working closely with the local communities to offer unique experiences that AmaWaterways is known for.
“Whether looking for a traditional seven-night sailing, a shorter five-night itinerary or an immersive journey spanning multiple rivers and discovering lesser-known destinations, our 2023 offerings meet the needs of every type of traveller.”
