AmaWaterways is celebrating Travel Advisor Appreciation Month throughout May with a range of incentives and rewards for its travel advisor partners. These offers include enhanced booking rewards, reduced deposits on 2025 sailings, and the opportunity for advisors to win a complimentary river cruise to experience AmaWaterways firsthand.
Kristin Karst, co-founder and chief brand ambassador of AmaWaterways, emphasized the company’s deep appreciation for travel advisors. “As a family-operated business, we value the strong relationships we have built with our travel advisor partners,” she said. “We are truly grateful for the passion, expertise, and professionalism they bring to their clients every day.”
Karst highlighted the vital role that travel advisors have played in the company’s growth. “Travel advisors have been crucial in shaping AmaWaterways into the company it is today,” she added. “While we show our appreciation year-round through FAMs, marketing support, and training opportunities, we are especially excited to give back this May—a month dedicated to recognizing the impact they have on the river cruise industry and the broader travel world.”
Throughout the month, AmaWaterways is offering several ways for travel advisors to earn rewards. Those who complete all five courses in the AmaAcademy program will be eligible to enter weekly drawings for a complimentary European river cruise for two. To qualify, advisors must attend all four of the company’s Webinar Wednesday sessions, which will be held in May at 10:30 p.m. Pacific/1:30 p.m. Eastern. The sessions are as follows:
- May 7: Leverage Your Passions: Specialty Cruises to Grow Your Sales
- May 14: What’s New: Egypt & the Nile
- May 21: What’s New: The Douro River
- May 28: Ask Me Anything with AmaWaterways’ Co-Founders
One lucky winner will receive a seven-night river cruise for two on the Magdalena River, an exclusive journey through Colombia.
Additionally, AmaWaterways is rewarding new business generated in May with digital gift cards. Travel advisors will earn a $100 gift card for each new booking made on a 2025 departure. Advisors who book one of the company’s Hot 100 Dates will receive a $200 gift card.
To make it easier for clients to plan for future travel, AmaWaterways is offering reduced deposits on all 2025 sailings, excluding Africa. Deposits are now set at $200 per person for Europe, Colombia, and Mekong itineraries, and $600 per person for Egypt sailings.
