WORK ON THE WATER: AmaWaterways makes case for digital nomads

On the occasion of Digital Nomad Day today (Aug. 08), AmaWaterways is encouraging remote to “make the world their office.” And to do so, the luxury river cruise line has put a special focus on its 2024 early season cruises, starting in February on the Rhine and Danube rivers.

The special cruises provide remote workers and travel enthusiasts with the unique opportunity to experience the beauty of Europe during a less crowded time, all while staying connected and productive aboard AmaWaterways’ fleet of floating boutique hotels, says Ama.

“Remote work has fundamentally changed the way many people are able to travel by opening up more time to experience the world without having to rely on set vacation time,” said Kristin Karst, co-founder and executive VP of AmaWaterways. “Remote workers have the flexibility to travel at a different pace to take advantage of lower airfares and avoid crowds.”

She adds, “Our early season European river cruises provide the perfect setting for them to stay connected, inspired, and motivated while immersing themselves in the culture and beauty of various destinations along the European waterways. We hope to inspire adventurous professionals to embrace the world as their office and embark on transformative journeys that not only facilitate remote work opportunities but create lasting memories.”

Boasting comfortable staterooms with built-in workspaces, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, as well as thoughtfully designed spaces such as large Main Lounges and plenty of comfortable outdoor seating on the Sun Deck, AmaWaterways’ river cruises says it presents exceptional opportunities for digital nomads to “embrace new horizons while remaining connected to their professional pursuits.”

And with included excursions offered most mornings and afternoons, there is plenty of flexibility to work and still enjoy the local sites.

Reservations for the early season sailings made before Sept. 30, 2023 will benefit from a special 20% savings offer.

A sample early season itinerary includes “Enchanting Rhine,” a seven-night escape aboard the AmaLucia, which will sail between Amsterdam and Basel, Switzerland starting Feb. 11, 2024, revealing, picturesque hilltop castles, charming towns, and the spectacular Swiss Alps.
