Make holiday memories on board
A TASTE OF NORMANDY
UNWRAP TIMELESS TRADITIONS on board the highest rateD ships
From the Normandy Beaches to Monet’s Garden, traveling in Northern France during autumn gives you something extra special—the apple harvest and the delicious array of ciders and Calvados that come from it. AmaWaterways' Paris & Normandy cruise takes guests to the region’s Cider Route, where they meet cider and Calvados producers, and taste the fruits of their labor.
Bask in the spirit of Europe’s timeless traditions on an AmaWaterways Christmas Markets cruise. Sail through winter wonderlands, discovering glittering cities, magnificent cathedrals and medieval castles—all from the comfort of your luxury ship. And relax, you’ll unpack once as you sail from one location to another. No need to worry about who will cook the Christmas roast as AmaWaterways creates tantalizing holiday menus, featuring regional European specialties and traditional favorites. Plus, with a wide range of excursions from which to choose, there’s something for everyone.
For your dining pleasure, AmaWaterways’ chefs created this delicious “Apple & Camembert Tart,” and in the true spirit of Normandy, serve with cider or Calvados.
APPLE & CAMEMBERT TARTs
Ingredients: 4 sheets filo pastry / 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled / 8 oz. Camembert cheese / Melted butter (Serves 4)
THE JOY OF GIVING Giving back to the communities where AmaWaterways travels is at the core of the company. One of the most meaningful and joyful projects to Kristin Karst, Executive Vice President & Co-Owner, is supporting Cambodia’s “Opportunities of Development thru Art (ODA) Free Village English School.” Since 2011, AmaWaterways has been sponsoring this life-changing school where local children acquire critical English-language and computer skills to help improve their lives and their futures.
Preparation: Cut the apple into 12 equal slices and fry in melted butter until golden. Cut the Camembert into thin slices. Butter the filo on both sides, and then place 3 apple slices and 3 pieces of cheese into each center. Fold each filo into a small packet, enclosing the apple and cheese slices, and securing with kitchen twine. Place tarts in a 365 °F oven and bake until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove the twine before serving with a big green salad.
The best part of a Christmas Markets cruise? You’ll be treated to an old-fashioned holiday atmosphere in a new way. Create meaningful experiences with those you love, and do what the Europeans have been doing for centuries—warm up with a mug of German glühwein, shop for handcrafted treasures and celebrate the true spirit of the season on an AmaWaterways cruise.
