Slideshow offer placeholder
Indulge in the local flavors of Switzerland and France on a palate-pleasing itinerary that highlights the essence of France’s Burgundy and Provence. Discover Geneva and Annecy, the "Pearl of the French Alps" before embarking your 7-night Chalon-Sur-Saône to Arles cruise. Uncover the Roman history of Chalon-sur Saone 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. Then, get ready to spend three nights in Nice taking in the top sites, as well as breathtaking Monaco and opulent Monte Carlo. 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!

About AmaCello

Ship Overview
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! Keeping with the French theme, most staterooms feature a French balcony as well as amenities that include Entertainment-On-Demand, climate-controlled air conditioning and an in-room safe. A fitness room, sauna and massage room are also available for your enjoyment on board this incredible river ship.
