AmaWaterways’ Revolutionary New Cruiser To Offer Jewish Heritage Themed Cruises
AmaWaterways is offering special `Jewish Heritage’ tours and excursions on five of its popular Danube cruises in 2012, including two sailings on board the revolutionary new AmaCerto, which debuts in April 2012 and incorporates the most advanced design in river cruising, offering spacious staterooms featuring two balconies; a heated swimming pool; and multiple fine dining venues.
The complimentary tours are designed to highlight the rich Jewish heritage of the Danube and include visits to Jewish districts, museums, monuments, synagogues and other landmarks of significance to Jewish history. A dedicated guide will lead the tours each day, which are open to all interested passengers, regardless of their faith.
The cruises each pass through four countries as the Danube meanders its way through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, ‘Jewish Heritage’ highlights include a special visit to the tomb of Chatam Sofer, the famous rabbi, a visit to Oscar Schindler’s house in Regensberg, and Room 600 at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. Passengers will also visit the Jewish Museum, Judenplatz and Old Synagogue, Sigmund Freud House (outside), Jewish Cemetery and Jewish Quarter in Vienna.
In Regensburg, a specialist in Judaica will lead a tour that includes the site of the Regensburg Synagogue. In Nuremberg, the tour will include the Jewish cemetery, old Jewish ghetto and location where the Old Synagogue stood.
The cruises cost from £1716 per person, cruise-only, with optional hotel stays (at extra cost) in Budapest and, after the cruise, in Prague, with each extension featuring further Jewish-themed tours.
