harbourside Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Packed and waiting to go to the airport. Long, long flight to Paris from New Zealand. Extra day in Paris then board the AmaLegro for the Seine cruise, then the AmaCello from Lyon to Arles, then on to Barcelona. Booked early last year, so it has been a long wait. The trip is with APT. A great itinerary which includes dinner and show at Moulin Rouge, Champagne tasting in Paris. Will let you know all about in on my return.

Rare jpalbny Posted July 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We enjoyed the Rhone itinerary very much, and I am looking forward to hearing about your experience. Hope that you have a wonderful time! Here's also hoping that the flights go quicker than you imagine. That is a tough itinerary. Bon voyage!

We loved our Rhone cruises as well. I know that AmaDagio was recently replaced by AmaCello on that itinerary. AmaDagio had an amazing staff and crew, and a huge personality. Ports and excursions were great! Enjoy the AmaCello! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCHappilyRetired Posted July 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not sure exactly when the last cruise is for AmaDagio but harbourside is doing the Rhone on AmaCello shortly. When I go on AMA's website it has AmaDagio for 2016 and AmaCello for 2017. Wonder if because it's a APT cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never look at APT since we live in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed her the first year she was out and what a beauty! If you have any info you would like to share, that would be great appreciated. We went to the Normandy beaches also but on an ocean cruise. That and the military tattoo were the reason we took that cruise. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 22, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2016 We are cruising on the AmaDagio in November and wondering if my husband needs to being a jacket for dinner. No. He wouldn't be out of place wearing it, but equally fine without. River cruise dress standards are very flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums We sailed with her in November and the usual number of men wore sport coats - 5-10% with a bit more on the "special" nights.

Trying to convince DH that we should try for Bordeaux next year Have a great trip Carole Thank you! Just received our documents Friday. We originally wanted to do the two bike tours offered until the brochure said one was 15 1-2 miles and the other around 7. Hey, I'm going to relax not try out for the Tour de France! I did sign up for the Provence cooking class while DH will be going to Pont du Gard. I have some mobility issues so I know Pont would be too much for me. DH really wanted to go. Alittle nervous that we will let go of the joined hips but he also knows I'm a foodie and the cooking class is right up my alley. Yes, we plan on signing up for the Chef Table on a down night and will do that on embarkment. We are flying Delta so I hope they get their "power outage" rectified by then! Feel really bad for the thousands of people stranded. Before retiring here ion the SC coast, we lived in Connecticut, right on the NY border. Not far from you. Glad you had an enjoyable time. We can't wait to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't wait to go!! Have a wonderful time. Did similar to you DH went to Pont du Gard. I did walking tour in Avignon. Just bring comfortable walking shoes. NO reason for men's jackets, ties etc. Ladies clothes were just slacks, Tee shirts & pashminas for night.If you do Les Baux bring a jacket/sweater as the wind does go through you. Sit on the bow as you transverse the locks its really interesting and the (very nice) staff will bring you beverages etc. Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
