Previous Hosts Comments
Colleen Hardy
Exclusive Host – Living Roots Wine, Finger Lakes, NY
We had a wonderful experience as wine hosts on AMAWaterways’ Colors of Provence cruise this November. It was a great opportunity for us to visit France, explore other wine regions, grow existing relationships with guests who booked via Living Roots, and build new relationships with other passengers onboard. Not only was the trip a lot of fun, AMAWaterways was very supportive in purchasing our wine to serve onboard and handling all of the necessary paperwork and logistics. We feel very lucky to have been wine hosts this year and look forward to hosting another cruise with AMA in 2026!
