Uncover the Roman history of Chalon-sur Saône and delight in charming Tournus with its towering Romanesque abbey and historic apothecary shop. Visit French châteaux from Burgundy to Provence, taste your way through the French culinary capital of Lyon and visit the Papal Palace in Avignon. Treat your palate to Mâconnais, Beaujolais and Chalonnaise wines as you journey along the Rhône and Saône rivers. Then, get ready to spend three nights in Nice taking in the top sites, as well as breathtaking Monaco and opulent Monte Carlo. With a dedicated wine expert to guide you, you’ll also have the opportunity to indulge in wine tastings and a specially curated food and wine pairing dinner on board – all included in the price of your <i>Celebration of Wine River Cruise</i>. While you’ll get more than a taste of Switzerland, Burgundy, Provence and Nice during this itinerary, the essence of these destinations will linger on your palate – and in your heart – for a lifetime!

AmaCello

Decorated in a palette of gold and orange that reflects Europe’s brilliant autumn foliage, the AmaCello is a floating delight. The glorious Sun Deck offers a soothing whirlpool, giant chess set and recliners from which to drink up the extraordinary scenery. Inside, enticing aromas waft from the beautiful Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, each previewing a masterfully plated dish created by an expert chef using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. And after just one bite, you’ll understand why the AmaCello, like all our European ships, was inducted into the internationally renowned culinary society known as La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs!
