Travel with me in 2027! My Signature Cruise in September 2027 is the only tour I will personally es**rt next year. Join me for an 8-day voyage from Amsterdam on board the luxurious AmaWaterways. During this special journey we will visit three iconic battle sites: the Ypres Salient from WW1, Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, and the desperate fighting of A Bridge Too Far in WW2. Cabins are nearly sold out, but we still have a small number available. See you in Amsterdam! https://historycruises.com/
