So when only the best is good enough for Hays Travel clients, it’s natural we selected the 156-passenger AmaSiena for a personalised journey along the captivating Rhine next October. The company pioneered the ‘Twin Balcony’ concept – where a French balcony with sliding glass windows sits alongside an outside balcony in front of the bed, affording superb views. The airy Sun Deck has a swim- up bar, while the Main Lounge and Bar is the social hub. AmaWaterways is a member of the prestigious La Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, dedicated to fine cuisine. At the stern of AmaSiena is the Chef’s Table, where exquisitely prepared tasting menus are paired with wines such as crisp Rieslings and aromatic Gewürztraminers. The variety of up to eight included excursions, taken at a pace to suit you, ensure small groups of just 15-20 guests. Plus, the company’s acclaimed approach to individualised services include benefits such as tailor-made sessions with the personal trainer. On this specially chartered departure getting to the embarkation city of Amsterdam couldn’t be simpler with flights from regional airports via Heathrow. We’ve even included a night at the boutique 4-star Radisson Blu Amsterdam City Centre before you embark on the 7-night cruise to Basel in Switzerland. Naturally, all transfers are included; as well as drinks with meals, 21 included excursions and Wi-Fi. Following a sailing through a pastoral scene of timeless windmills, AmaSiena reaches Cologne, where the magnificent gothic cathedral soars above the city. The dramatic 40-mile stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley is dotted with fairy-tale forts and castles that lead to the mystical Lorelei Rock. At the impossibly quaint village of Rüdesheim there’s the opportunity to explore Drosselgasse, a captivating cobbled alleyway filled with ivy-clad weinstubes. Setting for Sigmund Romberg’s operetta ‘The Student Prince’, the majestic ruined façades of the red sandstone castle in Heidelberg date from the 15th century. Visible throughout the city of Strasbourg is the magnificent filigree spire of the venerable pink sandstone Cathedral of Notre Dame; in stark contrast, the modern Quartier Européen reminds you this city is the seat of the European Parliament. From the ancient city of Breisach you can enjoy a Wine Country bike tour or a Black Forest hike; prior to arrival in Switzerland and journeys end. Founded in 2002, family-owned AmaWaterways has garnered a host of awards, including ‘Highest Rated River Cruise Ship in Europe’ by Berlitz Guide to River Cruising.
