Cruise Lines

River & Expedition military program

River and expedition cruising is one of the fastest-growing — and most rewarding — segments for military retirees, veterans, and their families. Intimate ships, immersive itineraries, and all-inclusive pricing make it a natural fit.

The bottom line

Most river and expedition lines don't publish a standing military discount — but AmaWaterways is a notable exception, with a real, published $250-per-person military rate. Beyond that, Neal Lewis & Associates provides exclusive agency military amenities on all river and expedition bookings made through LandAirCruise.com, on top of any published promotion. AmaWaterways, consistently rated among the world's top river lines, is a standout for active travelers, wine cruises, and family departures.
