AmaWaterways Expands Luxury Concierge Golf Program to France. Golfers who dream of combining their passion for the game with the elegance of European river cruising have a new reason to get excited. AmaWaterways, the world’s leading luxury river cruise line, has just announced the expansion of its acclaimed Concierge Golf Program to France. Beginning in 2026, guests sailing aboard the beautifully appointed AmaDante on the Impressions of the Seine & Paris itinerary will have the opportunity to experience some of France’s most prestigious golf courses while enjoying the luxury and comfort of life on the river.

This exciting new program is being launched in partnership with LGT Golf, the award-winning European golf tour operator known for creating bespoke luxury golf experiences. According to Kristin Karst, AmaWaterways’ co-founder and brand ambassador, France is a natural next step for the program thanks to its unique blend of championship courses, exquisite cuisine, and breathtaking scenery. The result is a travel experience that offers the best of both worlds: world-class golf by day and the comforts of a river cruise by night.

Guests who choose the Concierge Golf Program will have the chance to tee off at five of France’s most iconic venues. The lineup includes the world-famous Le Golf National, host of the 2018 Ryder Cup, where the finishing holes surrounded by water are a true test of nerves and precision. Golfers will also play the historic Racing Club de France La Boulie near Versailles, a classic Willie Park Jr. design steeped in tradition, as well as Golf PGA France du Vaudreuil in Normandy, a challenging course that regularly hosts the Vaudreuil Golf Challenge. The dramatic seaside beauty of Golf Étretat, perched high on the cliffs overlooking the English Channel, is another highlight, along with Golf de Saint-Germain, a Harry Colt masterpiece set in forestland and available exclusively to AmaWaterways’ guests.

Every detail has been carefully curated to create a seamless golf experience. Guests travel to and from the courses in luxury Mercedes vehicles and enjoy full concierge service throughout, including the unique perk of club and shoe cleaning after each round. À la carte lunches with wine and beer are included at every course, along with golf carts and range tokens where available. On arrival, participants receive an exclusive welcome package featuring premium golf balls, a leather shoe bag, a pitch repair tool and detailed course guides, ensuring they are well-prepared for every round.

When not out on the fairways, golfers can relax and indulge in the award-winning experience aboard AmaDante. Spacious staterooms with French balconies, regionally inspired cuisine paired with fine wines, wellness activities such as yoga and cycling, and curated shore excursions in charming French towns create the perfect complement to days on the course. It is a seamless blend of sporting challenge and luxurious relaxation that redefines the concept of a golf holiday.

With bookings now open for select 2026 sailings, the Seine River Concierge Golf Program marks the latest innovation from AmaWaterways, which continues to set the standard in luxury river cruising. It joins the company’s highly successful golf program on the Danube, offered aboard the revolutionary AmaMagna, and solidifies AmaWaterways’ reputation as the only river cruise line to provide golfers with such an extensive and exclusive program.

For golfers seeking the ultimate European getaway, there may be no better pairing than the beauty of France, the challenge of its championship courses, and the luxury of cruising the Seine.
