AmaWaterways is expanding its portfolio of Soulful Experiences sailings, which focus on black history, with new options on the Rhine and Mekong rivers.

Joining the 2025 lineup, which already offers journeys in Egypt, France, Portugal, and Colombia, is the Best of Holland & Belgium (Dec. 27). This is the first Soulful Experience sailing that includes celebrations of both Kwanza and New Year’s.

In 2026, there are three additional sailings, with two as new Soulful itineraries, added to the already scheduled France and Egypt offerings. Enticing Douro, first offered this year, will sail June 13, 2026, and the two new itineraries are Riches of the Mekong (Oct. 11) and the Swiss Alps & Rhines Castles Christmas cruise (Dec. 15).

Every Soulful Experience sailings presents experiences and excursions that celebrate black heritage and culture.

To help advisors sell these unique sailings, a dedicated Soulful webinar, hosted by AmaWaterways’ senior director Jazzmine Douse, is available on the cruise line’s travel advisor portal.
