“In teaming up with AmaWaterways, we are excited to combine our trademark biking, walking and hiking experiences with the luxury of river cruising. With these ship-based adventures, guests will have the opportunity to conveniently explore European cities and countryside on a Backroads trip, with the bonus of only having to unpack once.” said Backroads Founder and President, Tom Hale.

These sailings will begin in 2015 with the 7-night Danube River Bicycling Cruise Itinerary.

  • An ideal trip for a range of cycling abilities, featuring one of our most flexible itineraries
  • Join local bicyclists as you pedal on the scenic Donauradweg (Danube bike path)
  • Spin through the vineyards, orchards and villages of the Wachau valley, as beloved for its beauty as for its grüner veltliners and Rieslings
  • Choose between more miles on the bike or expertly guided tours on foot
  • Soak up the ever-changing views from your stateroom, knowing that you only have to unpack once

In 2016, a number of new tours will be available:

  • Rhine
  • Rhone
  • Seine
  • Douro
  • Garonne
  • Mekong

A special bonus today is a great interview with AmaWaterways President Kristin Karst and AvidCruiser Ralph Grizzle, discussing more about Backroads, Burma and Bordeauz.
