Starting May 17, 2024, AmaWaterways the Soulful Epicurean Experience will bring its culinary and cultural explorations to Egypt, focusing on the African and Black diaspora while immersing guests in the 11-night Secrets of Egypt & the Nile voyage aboard the luxurious AmaDahlia. The itinerary delves into Egypt's rich Black heritage, with visits to local communities that showcase regional cuisine and carefully selected shore excursions.
Travelers can choose to extend their stay with a three-night pre-cruise or a one-night post-cruise land tour in Cairo. The journey will highlight Egypt's captivating Black history, taking guests to a Nubian village where they can interact with the locals who preserve the customs of their Egyptian forebears.
This extraordinary experience also encompasses the iconic landmarks of ancient Egypt, as the Cruise sets sail roundtrip from Luxor. Guests will marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the enigmatic Valley of the Kings and Queens, and the awe-inspiring Karnak and Luxor temples.
Following the successful expansion into Egypt, AmaWaterways has announced the addition of two new 2024 dates for the Soulful Epicurean Experience Cruise series in France, in response to overwhelming demand. Travelers can now embark on the 10-night Colors of Provence itinerary on June 13, starting in Arles and cruising to Lyon, culminating in a three-night sojourn in the romantic city of Paris. Alternatively, they can opt for the June 17 departure, which follows the same itinerary in reverse, beginning with a three-night Parisian escapade before boarding the cruise.
The Colors of Provence voyage offers a remarkable opportunity to discover the region's rich culinary and cultural heritage. From the sun-drenched landscapes of Arles to the enchanting city of Lyon, guests will have the chance to savor the flavors of southern France, indulge in wine tastings, and explore the picturesque countryside.
The Soulful Epicurean Experience's expansion into Egypt and the addition of two new dates in France demonstrate the ongoing commitment to providing unparalleled culinary and cultural experiences for discerning travelers. These unforgettable journeys will not only satisfy the palate but also enrich the mind and soul, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
