AMAWATERWAYS JOINS THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER
River cruise line designates three European cruises as charitable fundraisers in 2014 & 2015
Calabasas, CA - (Jan. 21, 2014) - Award-winning river cruise line AmaWaterways will donate $500 for every stateroom sold on three European river cruises in 2014 and 2015 to support breast cancer awareness, prevention, research and treatment. Cruise dates and itineraries for these fundraiser cruises are as follows:
Oct. 30 - Nov. 6, 2014 (The Enchanting Rhine aboard the AmaCello)
Oct. 26 - Nov. 2, 2015 (The Enchanting Rhine aboard the AmaCerto)
Oct. 28 - Nov. 4, 2015 (Melodies of the Danube aboard the AmaSonata)
“This is the first time AmaWaterways has earmarked specific sailings as charitable fundraisers to support this very worthy cause,” said Kristin Karst, AmaWaterways’ Executive Vice President and Co-Owner. “The idea for these cruises came from recent conversations with travel agents. They made it happen! We love to encourage that sort of creative input from our travel partners.”
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S., affecting more than 2.8 million people. October is officially recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by public service organizations, medical associations and government agencies working together to promote awareness, share information on the disease and provide greater access to services.
“October is an ideal month to enjoy a European river cruise, with beautiful autumn scenery, mild weather and fewer tourists,” said Karst. “Best of all, these cruises will provide our guests with a wonderful opportunity to join the fight against breast cancer, which has personally impacted so many of us in one way or another.”
