A Taste of Bordeaux.

A partnership with Travel Concierge where members of The Havens’ Country Club set sail for a luxury voyage that takes them to Bordeaux where tradition is as deeply rooted as the historic grapevines on its hillsides.

Savor Bordeaux, one glass at a time.

Bordeaux, with its many chateaux and vineyards, is a leading destination for wine lovers, as well as a benchmark for winemakers around the world. Navigating the region with its 6,000 wineries can seem overwhelming, that is, until now. This luxury river cruise along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers has Ama’s expert guides at the helm, so you can experience the best of southwestern France one vineyard at a time. 

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.
