“From exploring fairytale castles and storybook villages enveloped in brilliant fall colors to enjoying seasonal wines and the autumn apple harvest, Seven River Journey – Autumn Edition takes place during the perfect time of year for guests to spend extended time in some of Europe’s most sought-after destinations.”
Sailing aboard three ships, guests who book on the itinerary’s autumn edition will be able to enjoy the amenities, cuisine, and service that AmaWaterways is known for.
