THE inaugural Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours Signature Cruise next year will sail on AmaWaterways’ brand-new vessel AmaSofie.
The ship, which will launch later this year, will play host to the history-focused cruise, as it sails through the Netherlands and Belgium.
Passengers will explore World War I and World War II battlefields, with the cruise timed to coincide with major historical anniversaries.
Guests will explore Ypres Salient and the Menin Gate on the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Menin Road Ridge, which involved many Australian divisions.
The cruise will then spend two days exploring sites from World War II’s Operation Market Garden on the anniversary of the largest airborne attack in history, including visiting the famous ‘bridge too far’ at Arnhem.
Passengers will also uncover where the Battle of Waterloo took place in Belgium, which ended the Napoleonic Wars.
Other Mat McLachlan sailings next year will take place aboard AmaMaya, hosting a ‘Riches of the Mekong’ cruise.
