AmaWaterways is set to enhance its Soulful Experience collection for 2025 by including Colombia for the first time.
This initiative aims to honour Black heritage and culture through carefully curated itineraries that provide enriching excursions and performances.
The year 2025 will see AmaWaterways introducing Colombia into its Soulful Experience collection, offering four distinct itineraries. These itineraries are specifically designed to celebrate Black history, traditions, and heritage through tailored excursions and unique experiences.
