Exploring the Rhine and Moselle Rivers - Cochem, Germany

Ride into your own fairytale adventure as you explore the castle-laden Rhine River and its famously breathtaking tributary, the Moselle Valley, on two wheels or with an invigorating hike. Forge a deeper connection to historic places and the land itself, touching the same soil as philosophers, kings, and queens. Pedal along the swan pond in Strasbourg’s romantic Parc de l’Orangerie or cycle past Rüdesheim’s sun-kissed vineyards, catching the sweet aroma of grapes as you coast downhill. Leave your footprints behind on the storied path as you trek to Cochem’s Reichsburg Castle, or hike to the former military camp of Petrisberg for sweeping views of the Moselle Valley above Trier.

If you can imagine exploring the Moselle Valley in Germany with your family or friends, reach out to us. We’d love to help you plan an AmaWaterways river cruise.

Explore the Majestic Gravensteen and Old Town of Ghent

𝐆𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐮𝐦 is a city where medieval history comes to life, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Gravensteen, the Castle of the Counts. This imposing fortress, with its thick stone walls and towering battlements, has stood as a symbol of power and prestige for centuries.

As you explore the castle’s interior, you’ll find yourself transported back to a time of knights and nobility, where each room tells a story of the lives that were lived within its walls. The castle’s moats and fortifications are among the last of their kind in Europe, making a visit to Gravensteen a rare opportunity to experience medieval architecture in its most authentic form.

The surrounding Old Town, with its narrow streets and historic buildings, offers a perfect complement to the castle, inviting you to continue your exploration of Ghent’s rich cultural heritage. From the bustling squares to the quiet, hidden courtyards, Ghent’s Old Town is a treasure trove of history and charm that should not be missed.

Make this a part of your next trip to Europe! Call (800) 227-9843.

Alaska Cruise Vacations offer incredible flexibility

Whether you have a week or nearly a month, Alaska can be shaped around the experience you want to have.
Most travelers begin with a 7-night cruise, choosing either the scenic Inside Passage or a Glacier-focused itinerary. But for many, the journey doesn’t stop there.

By adding a land tour before or after the cruise, you can go deeper into Alaska’s heart—exploring inland cities and breathtaking national parks. These cruise tours open the door to unforgettable places like Denali National Park, Mt. Denali, and Fairbanks, where Alaska’s wild beauty truly comes alive.

If you have the time—and a sense of adventure—an Alaska cruise is more than worth it. Start with how long you want to travel and what your budget looks like, and we’ll help design the rest.

Sometimes the best part of a vacation is imagining it first. ❄️✨

If you’re dreaming about wide-open landscapes and natural wonders, Alaska might be calling.

Here are a few fascinating glacier facts that make Alaska even more extraordinary:

• Glaciers currently cover about 10% of Earth, and during the last Ice Age, they blanketed nearly one-third of the planet.
• Glacier ice holds an estimated 75% of the world’s freshwater, making it Earth’s largest freshwater reservoir.
• The Antarctic ice sheet has existed for over 40 million years and could raise global sea levels dramatically if it melted, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
• A single glacier ice crystal can grow as large as a baseball.
• Alaska is home to more than 100,000 glaciers—most of them still unnamed.

From glacier cruising to scenic flights and up-close exploration, Alaska offers experiences found nowhere else. When you’re ready to start planning, we’re here to help. Contact us to begin planning your Alaska adventure.
