On March 14, 2027, Kingfisher Luxury Travel is hosting an exclusive group sailing aboard the award-winning AmaWaterways AmaSiena. This experience promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. This 7-night journey from Basel to Amsterdam blends wine immersion, cultural discovery, and the kind of effortless luxury that makes river cruising feel like a dream.

And because this is a Kingfisher-hosted group, travelers enjoy double the standard group discount plus exclusive perks not available when booking direct.

But before we go any further, I want to share something personal. This sailing isn’t just another itinerary on my website. It’s one I chose with intention, enthusiasm, and firsthand confidence.

A Personal Note: Why I Chose AmaWaterways for This Group Sailing

Last week, I attended the 2026 ASTA River Cruise EXPO in Amsterdam. I had the opportunity to tour and experience multiple river cruise lines, including three AmaWaterways ships.

I didn’t just peek into the lobby and glance at a stateroom. I:

• Ate onboard

• Explored the public spaces

• Inspected multiple stateroom categories

• Observed the service culture up close

• Spoke with crew members and leadership

• Experienced the warmth, hospitality, and 5-star care that AmaWaterways is known for

  
  

And I’ll be honest: I was blown away.

The ships were immaculate. The cuisine was exceptional. The staterooms were thoughtfully designed. And the crew? Warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in guest experience. It felt like stepping into a floating boutique hotel where every detail mattered.

I left Amsterdam so impressed—and so confident in the experience my clients would have—that I contracted this group sailing immediately upon returning home. I’m even working to adjust my own schedule so I can join this sailing personally. That’s how much I loved the AmaWaterways experience.

This isn’t just a recommendation. It’s a wholehearted endorsement based on firsthand experience.

Why Choose a Wine-Themed Rhine River Cruise?

The Rhine is one of Europe’s most iconic wine regions. It is home to steep terraced vineyards, fragrant Alsatian varietals, and the world-famous Rieslings of the Rheingau. A wine-themed river cruise allows you to experience these regions in the most immersive way possible:

• Guided wine tastings led by regional experts

• Vineyard hikes and bike tours

• Food-and-wine pairing dinners

• Visits to medieval wine towns and UNESCO sites

• Scenic cruising through the legendary Rhine Gorge

This is luxury without pretense—thoughtful, personal, and deeply comfortable.
