Imagine stepping away from the demands of daily life and into a journey created for women who have spent years leading, healing, and giving—now it’s your turn 
I invite you to join me and a small group of women physicians for an intimate Flavors of Burgundy river cruise aboard AmaWaterways, sailing November 5–12, 2026, from Lyon to Dijon. This boutique river cruise is designed for travelers who value depth over speed, elegance over crowds, and meaningful connection alongside extraordinary destinations.
Our journey begins in Lyon, France’s gastronomic capital, where cobblestone streets, hidden bouchons, and centuries of culinary tradition set the tone for the week. From there, we’ll glide through the scenic Saône River, passing rolling vineyards, golden stone villages, and storybook countryside that feels lifted from a painting.
Along the way, enjoy curated excursions such as:
- Beaune, the heart of Burgundy wine country, including the iconic Hôtel-Dieu and exclusive wine tastings
- Chalon-sur-Saône, with its charming old town and rich history
- Mâcon, gateway to the southern Burgundy vineyards
- Opportunities to explore local markets, historic abbeys, and small villages rarely visited on larger tours
Onboard, AmaWaterways delivers refined comfort—spacious staterooms, fine French-inspired cuisine paired with regional wines, attentive service, and a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere. Daily guided excursions are included, with options for gentle walking or more active exploration, allowing you to travel at your own pace.
Evenings are unhurried—sharing a glass of Burgundy on the Sun Deck, enjoying dinner with new friends, or simply watching the countryside drift by. This is a space to reconnect with yourself and with other accomplished women who understand the balance of professional success and personal renewal.
This is more than a river cruise—it’s a restorative, enriching experience designed for women ready to savor exceptional wine, beautiful destinations, and meaningful connection in one of France’s most celebrated regions.
