RENOWNED battlefield historian Mat McLachlan (pictured) has joined forces with AmaWaterways to launch a new series of history themed river cruises in 2027.
The series features four itineraries, each focusing on some of wartime history’s most significant periods and will cover everything from the battlefields of Europe to ancient civilisations and modern conflicts in Asia.
Known as ‘Mat McLachlan History Cruises’, travellers will be able to sail Holland and Belgium waterways during peak tulip season in Apr on an itinerary which coincides with Anzac Day.
Additionally, commemorations of the D-Day landing can be undertaken on a Seine River sailing in Jun, while examinations of the Vietnam War can be done on a Mekong River sailing from Cambodia to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam in Aug.
The Mat McLachlan 2027 Signature Cruise will be an eight-day round-trip sailing from Amsterdam, hosted personally by McLachlan, which will explore the battles of Waterloo, WWI and the Band of Brothers campaign.
McLachlan said he was thrilled to be partnering with AmaWaterways on the series.
“The river cruise experience AmaWaterways provides is second to none, and the rivers it sails are at the heart of history.”
Guests will also be able to enjoy presentations from other historians on each voyage. ML
