Join us as we release the newest vintage of our awaited Rosé charity wine! Every bottle of Nice Rosé sold benefits The Emma Jacobs Breast Cancer Foundation, which supports the critical work of Dr. Lucci at MD Anderson. We are honored to announce that Dr. Anthony Lucci will be in attendance to speak on behalf of Emma Jacob's Foundation and his research on breast cancer.

Our Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley and has mouthwatering notes of tart raspberry, strawberry, and watermelon. It perfectly blends the fruit-forward style of California with the dry minerality of an ideal French, Provence Rosé. Chef Ian will be preparing light bites.

The cruise, hosted by AmaWaterways aboard the AmaSonata, will begin in Budapest, Hungary with stops in Vienna, Krems, Weissenkirchen, Linz, and Passau before ending in Vilshofen.

Visit Salzburg, the setting for the beloved film classic, "The Sound of Music," complete with a stop in Mondsee, home of the famed Basilica St. Michael where the movie’s wedding scene was filmed. Indulge in the flavors of the region, from delicate, apricot-scented wines of Austria’s Wachau Valley to the hearty Bavarian beer at a traditional Bavarian Oktoberfest in Vilshofen. Each bend and twist in the river affords new surprises just waiting for you to discover.

Passengers will enjoy a choice of spacious staterooms; gourmet dining with free-flowing fine wines at multiple onboard dining venues; a heated sun deck swimming pool with a 'swim up' bar; fitness center and spa; complimentary ship-wide Wi-Fi and in-room Internet; and a fleet of bicycles carried onboard for passengers to enjoy on their own or on guided bike tours.
