AmaWaterways has partnered with Smithsonian Journeys, to offer select 2026 European river cruises featuring exclusive Smithsonian-crafted experiences—including the chance to engage with art historians, archaeologists, scientists, anthropologists, historians and more.
It’s a move that svp of Smithsonian Journeys Walter Littlejohn III says provides new options for intellectually curious travellers to indulge in the rich history and cultures of countries such as Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal.

There’s also select departures of the eight-day Cruising the Upper Danube: Romantic Ports from Bavaria to Budapest, and the eight-day Cruising the Lower Danube: Gems of Southeast Europe.
The 05 and 10 Dec departures of the eight-day Christmas Markets along the Danube: A River Cruise from Nuremburg to Budapest also feature in the new Smithsonian collection.
