AmaWaterways has extended its Concierge Golf Program to France for spring 2026 departures of the Impressions of the Seine & Paris sailing on AmaDante.

“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, in a press statement. “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.”

Through a partnership with LGT Golf, the program provides up to five rounds at renowned French courses—including Le Golf National in Guyancourt, host of the 2018 Ryder Cup; Racing Club de France La Boulie in Versailles, famed for its Willie Park Jr. design; Golf PGA France du Vaudreuil in Normandy; the clifftop links of Golf Etretat; and Golf de Saint-Germain in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a Harry Colt layout offered as walking only.

Transfers between ship and course are handled in luxury Mercedes vehicles, while full concierge service attends to equipment needs. It offers club and shoe cleaning after each round, access to carts and range tokens where available, a la carte lunches accompanied by beer and wine, and a welcome package of Titleist Pro V1 or Callaway Chrome Soft balls, a pitch repair tool, leather shoe bag and detailed course guides.

AmaDante’s award-winning accommodations feature French balconies, spacious staterooms, regionally inspired cuisine paired with fine wines, complimentary wellness activities and curated shore excursions in villages such as Giverny and Rouen.

The 8-day Impressions of the Seine & Paris voyage departs select dates from April through October 2025. Guests sail from Paris through Normandy, stopping in Rouen, Les Andelys and Vernon before returning to the City of Light. Each evening onboard features regionally inspired dining, panoramic views from the Sun Deck and guided excursions, including a visit to Monet’s gardens at Giverny.

The new Seine program complements the existing Concierge Golf Program on the Danube aboard AmaMagna.
