Luxury River Cruise Line Now Tees Up on the Seine River
Calabasas, CA, May 2025 – AmaWaterways, the leading luxury river cruise, announced the expansion of its dedicated Concierge Golf Program to a second iconic destination: France. Launching on the popular Impressions of the Seine & Paris itinerary aboard AmaDante , the new program—developed in an exclusive partnership with LGT Golf, the award-winning European luxury golf tour operator—invites golf enthusiasts to combine world-class river cruising with rounds at five of France’s most prestigious courses.
“We are delighted to bring our Concierge Golf Program to the Seine River, giving guests another spectacular opportunity to combine their passion for golf with the comforts of river cruising,” said Kristin Karst, co-founder and chief brand ambassador of AmaWaterways. “France offers an incredible mix of iconic championship courses, exceptional cuisine, and breathtaking scenery – making it a natural next chapter in the evolution of our golf program.”
Available as an optional add-on for guests sailing on AmaDante, the Concierge Golf Program includes rounds of golf at up to five championship-level courses, with luxury Mercedes transfers between the ship and each course. Guests enjoy full concierge service, including club and shoe cleaning after each round—an exclusive offering by AmaWaterways—as well as à la carte lunches with beer and wine at every course. The program also features golf carts and range tokens where available, along with a special welcome package containing Titleist Pro V1 or Callaway Chrome Soft golf balls, a pitch repair tool, a leather shoe bag, and detailed course guides – making it the most comprehensive amenity package offered to golfers by any river cruise line.
The Seine River golf program features a selection of five prestigious courses across France. While all courses welcome golfers from around the world, AmaWaterways is the only river cruise line to offer play at Golf de Saint-Germain, Racing Club de France La Boulie and Golf PGA France du Vaudreuil. The full list of featured courses includes:
