CALABASAS, CA – River cruise operator AmaWaterways has announced three new 2026 departures of its Latin Touch sailings, tailored specifically for Spanish-speaking travelers seeking culturally immersive experiences in Europe and Latin America.

The new departures include:

• Wonders of Colombia (October 21–28, 2026)
• Magic of Colombia (October 31–November 7, 2026)

Each sailing integrates Spanish-language services and Latin cultural elements, extending the success of AmaWaterways’ program launched in 2022.

“Latin Touch is all about creating a truly personalized river cruise experience for our Spanish-speaking guests,” said Joao Miranda, Director of Business Development, Latin America at AmaWaterways. “Since launching the program, we’ve seen strong demand, and we’re committed to expanding it further. With one sailing through Europe and two in Colombia, the 2026 cruises promise to be unforgettable.”

Immersive Spanish-language experiences across continents

All Latin Touch sailings feature a Spanish-speaking Cruise Director, guided tours in Spanish, and menus, daily programs, and entertainment tailored to Spanish-speaking guests.

On the Melodies of the Danube, travelers will cruise from Budapest to Vilshofen aboard the new AmaSofia, launching in 2026. Highlights include Latin-inspired performances, guided city tours, cycling excursions, and local tasting experiences in destinations such as Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest.
