Valley Girl of VA Posted October 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) We took our river cruise in September on the AMA Dagio. Rather than doing their pre and post cruise with AMA, we did it ourselves. We began our trip in Marseille and I was quite surprised at how much we enjoyed Marseille and how it was one of our favorite cities. I'll be adding to this blog every few days. It begins with us leaving the US and it will end about 3 1/2 weeks later as we depart Belgium. We spent about 3 weeks in France visiting Marseille, Lyon, Paris, Amiens and Boulogne-sur-mer and then over to Bruges, Ghent and Brussels. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Barrheadlass Posted October 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Really enjoying your blog. I'm doing the Rhone next year, and stayed in Aix, near the market, last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Girl of VA Posted November 8, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It's been a little bit of time since I updated this. Had a bad case of Achilles tendonitis and had to go to the emergency/urgent care facility for a shot so I could even stand. Here is part of our day around Arles, Roman ruins and a visit to the asylum where Van Gogh spent a year and created many of his famous paintings. https://airlandandsea.wordpress.com/2016/11/08/touring-arles-roman-ruins-and-van-goghs-asylum/ If you are enjoying this blog, consider becoming a follower and getting them delivered to your mailbox whenever a new one is posted.

wednesday Posted November 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2016 What a great review and we had Rachel on our first Ama cruise and loved her so much that we requested her for our group leaving in December. I cannot wait to be back onboard an Ama ship and to see Rachel! :D I have held off on wanting to do the French itineraries that use the older ships (even though they are highly recommended by Rachel,) I am hoping they eventually replace them with new builds.

Valley Girl of VA Posted November 15, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks for reading my blog. This is the last year for the AMADagio so you might want to consider seeing what upcoming cruises AMA has on some of the French rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesday Posted November 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks for reading my blog. This is the last year for the AMADagio so you might want to consider seeing what upcoming cruises AMA has on some of the French rivers. Thanks for writing it! I always appreciate people taking the time to share their insight. I was looking at the 2018 itineraries but didn't check France, I will go take a look now and see if they have a ship assigned. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
