With growing demand among Spanish-speaking travelers for river cruises, AmaWaterways just announced three new Latin Touch sailings in 2026. These popular trips feature the cruise line’s signature river cruise itineraries, enhanced with a Spanish-language focus and select programming celebrating Latin culture. The three new departures are Melodies of the Danube (June 21–28), Wonders of Colombia (Oct. 21–28) and Magic of Colombia (Oct. 31–Nov. 7).

All Latin Touch sailings feature a Spanish-speaking cruise director, guided tours in Spanish at every port, daily programs and menus in Spanish, and select onboard entertainment and events highlighting Latin culture. For instance, on the Melodies of the Danube aboard new ship AmaSofia, guests can expect two nights of Latin-inspired performances. AmaMelodia and AmaMagdalena bring the wonder and magic of Colombia to life from Cartagena to Barranquilla and back, with a special themed party capturing the energy of Latin culture.

With one sailing in the heart of Europe on one of our most popular itineraries and two in Colombia, where we’ve just begun cruising, the 2026 Latin Touch cruises promise to be unforgettable.”
