The Essence of Burgundy.
A partnership with Travel Concierge where members of Maderas Country Club set sail for a luxury voyage that takes them to Burgundy and Provence where romance, cuisine, and heritage collide in one beautiful journey along the Saône and Rhone rivers.
Where your journey begins.
Imagine seven days in paradise where all five of your senses awaken to the tastes, sights, and smells of France. Indulge in the flavors of the region’s incomparable wine and cuisine like mouthwatering truffles, cheeses, and coq au vin. Soak in visions of the lush green valleys of Burgundy and the sun-kissed hills of Provence. Inhale the fragrances of bergamot, amber, and lavender that perfume the countryside. Feel the wind in your hair as you bike through Lyon, from old town to Notre-Dame de Fourvière. Hear the sounds of opera music echoing throughout the 16th century Royal Monastery of Brou. On this luxury escape, you’ll get more than a taste of Burgundy and Provence . . .you’ll gain an experience that will linger on your palate – and in your soul – for a lifetime.
Once you set sail on your 7-night AmaWaterways’ excursion, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Included in your journey are luxury accommodations in spacious staterooms, a wellness program, daily entertainment, cultural performances, award-winning cuisine, fine wine and beer with every meal, immersive tours, bikes and hikes, knowledgeable guides, and personal headsets for easy exploration.
