AmaWaterways and Smithsonian Team Up for Iconic River Cruises in 2027
Let me tell you about something really exciting coming up in 2027 for anyone who loves travel, culture, and a bit of luxury on the water. AmaWaterways, one of the top names in river cruising, has just announced 42 brand-new departures in collaboration with Smithsonian Journeys—and it’s shaping up to be a game-changer for river travel.
Now, if you haven’t heard of Smithsonian Journeys before, they’re the travel division of the Smithsonian Institution. Yes, that Smithsonian—the one known for its world-class museums and 175-year legacy in education and research. Their travel programs are all about deep cultural exploration, guided by experts who really know their stuff. So, when you pair that with AmaWaterways’ reputation for beautiful ships, impeccable service, and scenic routes, you get something truly special.

These 42 new sailings will cover some of Europe’s most iconic rivers—including the Danube, Rhine, and Seine—but what makes this even more exciting is the addition of two completely new itineraries. First, there’s Grand Waterways of France , which takes travelers through Normandy, Burgundy, and Provence. Imagine cruising past lavender fields, stopping at historic towns, and tasting some of the world’s best wines along the way. Then, for those looking for something more exotic, there’s Along the Mekong: Charms of Vietnam and Cambodia . This one explores the vibrant culture, ancient temples, and rich heritage of Southeast Asia—definitely a deeper dive into a part of the world that’s still quite underexplored by river cruise standards.
Every one of these cruises will have two Smithsonian experts onboard. Their role? To bring the destinations to life through talks, Q&As, and guided excursions. These aren’t your average tourist stops either—think behind-the-scenes experiences, local storytelling, and meaningful cultural immersion.
And of course, you’ll be traveling in comfort. AmaWaterways is known for its spacious and elegantly designed river ships, top-tier dining, and personalized service that makes guests feel truly cared for. Whether you're on the sun deck sipping wine in Burgundy or floating past temple ruins on the Mekong, it’s going to be a journey that feeds your curiosity just as much as your soul.
Bookings are already open, and considering how popular the 2026 launch was, these 2027 departures are expected to fill up quickly. So if you’ve been dreaming of a trip that’s both luxurious and enriching, now’s the time to start planning. This isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you experience it. And with AmaWaterways and Smithsonian Journeys leading the way, it’s bound to be unforgettable.
