Ship details
AmaDolce is a luxury riverboat purpose-built to sail around the Bordeaux region. It carries 148 passengers at full capacity—small enough to dock in the heart of each port, including the city of Bordeaux itself.

Cruise Critic praises its "devotion to the culinary arts". AmaWaterways is the only river cruise line to be part of Confrerie de la Chaine des Rotisseurs, the world's oldest gastronomic society. 

Meals are included every day at the Main Restaurant. A standout feature is the Chef's Table restaurant, which has an open kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the ship's wake. All passengers can enjoy one special multi-course meal there for no charge—it comes complete with paired wines. 

You'll be busy in port each day, but in the evenings you can enjoy live music in The Lounge, the main after-dinner spot. There's also plenty of outdoor seating and a whirlpool tub on the top deck.

Half-day excursions, which are included, are mostly undertaken by coach. However, the ship also has a fleet of bicycles and Nordic walking sticks that are available to hire for no extra charge.

Other options

• Sail in a French Balcony Stateroom from £2249 per person
