Where Do You Dream of Cruising?

As we all dream of the places we’ll travel to once the world returns to normal once again, Ive been recalling some of our favorite trips we took pre-covid. One of our last trips before the world changed, was to Bordeaux, France to take a wine cruise on the AmaDolce from AmaWaterways.

 

The beautiful AmaDolce from AmaWaterways.
