AmaWaterways is adding more cheer to the holiday season with a limited-time gift: complimentary round-trip airfare from all Canadian gateways on select 2025 Festive Delights cruises. Travellers can choose to celebrate amid the rolling vineyards of Portugal’s Douro Valley or the timeless elegance of France’s Bordeaux region, with every sailing designed to capture the spirit of the season both on board and ashore.

Guests will enjoy festive activities such as tree trimming, cookie decorating, and carolling, all while sailing past landscapes that feel even more magical in winter. Ships are elegantly decorated, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and with fewer crowds in the region at this time of year, the experience feels more intimate. Select itineraries also include opportunities to visit Christmas Markets in Porto, Bordeaux, or even Lisbon when combined with a pre-cruise land package.
