What happened
AmaWaterways changed the itinerary for a river cruise booked by an Ontario couple 24 hours before departure, shifting the route through the Netherlands and Belgium. The company stated that extraordinary river conditions required the adjustments to the original itinerary, which included travel from Amsterdam to Switzerland.
