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.
“Latin Touch is all about creating a truly personalized river cruise experience for our Spanish-speaking guests,” said Joao Miranda, director of Business Development, AmaWaterways, Latin America. “Since launching the program in 2022, we’ve seen how much they enjoy these sailings and we’re committed to continuing and expanding the program to meet their preferences. 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.”

But, as with all Paradores properties, the brand didn’t build anything new; instead, Parador de Almagro occupies a former 17th-century convent. In fact, it was the first Franciscan convent in the city.

I hope the weather this winter has not caused too much disruption of your travel plans. Some very difficult days of snow and deep freeze nearly shut down travel in the eastern United States. We were fortunate to hold our Business Travel Symposium the week before a near-record snowstorm and frigid weather hit Philadelphia. Many thanks to our sponsors, IHG Business Edge and TAP Air Portugal, for making the event a success and adding to the panel discussion.
