AmaWaterways reports spiking Kiwi demand for its exotics product for 2027, as the river cruise line releases a new cruise and land package.
“Egypt bookings are running hot right now,” says Angela Smith, Ama’s head of marketing ANZ, adding that the Mekong, Africa and Colombia are also attracting a growing number of Kiwi bookings.
Multi-generation and solo travel are the key new river trends out of New Zealand, adds Smith.
While the Christmas markets continue to be popular, Smith says the line’s 2027 Europe river demand has been a little softer from New Zealand. “But we are seeing huge bookings for 2028,” she adds.
. . . Mekong
Ama has launched a new 15-night Mekong cruise and land package for 2027, which its md ANZ Steve Richards says offers exceptional value for travellers wanting to experience more of Southeast Asia in one holiday. Priced from $6680pp, twin share, it includes a seven-night Mekong cruise with eight nights on land exploring Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Long Bay and Siem Reap.
Richards says everything is organised, with expert guides along the way, so guests can just relax and enjoy the experience.
“There’s so much to see and do in Vietnam and Cambodia, and we’ve brought together all those must-see places, like Angkor Wat and Ha Long Bay, with the wonderful experiences guests enjoy along the Mekong.”
The new package is on selected departures of the Charms of the Mekong and Riches of the Mekong itineraries, sailing 09 Aug-11 Oct aboard AmaDara or the new AmaMaya, for bookings made by 31 Dec. See more details HERE.
