Extend your journey with a 2 night pre cruise in Budapest or 3 night post cruise in Prague, or both! Featuring a centrally located 4‑ or 5‑star hotel, guided city touring, daily breakfast, transfers, luggage handling, and free time to explore on your own—hosted the entire time by your AmaWaterways Cruise Manager.
Budapest, the elegant capital of Hungary, straddles both sides of the Danube River and unites the historic hills of Buda with the grand boulevards of Pest. Renowned for its stately architecture, storied thermal baths, and iconic landmarks such as Buda Castle and the Hungarian Parliament, the city offers a refined yet vibrant atmosphere. Discerning travelers will discover a rich tapestry of history, culture, and gastronomy, all set against one of Europe’s most striking urban riverfronts.
Prague, the enchanting capital of the Czech Republic, is renowned for its beautifully preserved Old Town, soaring spires, and majestic castle overlooking the Vltava River. Distinguished by its Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture, the city offers a captivating journey through centuries of European history and culture. Discerning travelers are drawn to its atmospheric squares, classical music heritage, and refined café and dining scene, all set within one of Europe’s most picturesque urban landscapes.
Arriving two nights before your cruise or staying three nights afterward is a wonderful way to make the most of your time in Europe. A pre‑cruise stay lets you settle in, adjust to the time zone, and start exploring without rushing from the airport straight to the ship. A post‑cruise stay gives you the chance to linger a little longer, dive deeper into the local culture, and enjoy a more relaxed finale to your vacation.
