To celebrate National Nurses Week, river cruise line AmaWaterways has opened a selection of Europe sailings from October to December 2021 for eligible frontline medical heroes to receive a free river cruise with one paying guest in the same cabin.
Medical professionals enrolled in the program can now redeem their complimentary cruise certificate on a choice of 30 sailing dates in 2021. In addition, the free river cruise offer is re-opened for a limited time to active medical professionals and active first responders who may not have had the opportunity to enroll last year.
