The influx of travel discounts for health care workers that we saw in late 2020 and into 2021 has passed, but if you know where to look, you can still occasionally find discounts for nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers. Here are a few that were still current at press time.

AmaWaterways Cruise Certificate 

River cruise line AmaWaterways is offering frontline medical workers Future Cruise Certificates that can be used for a buy-one-get-one-free deal when booked with a full-fare paying guest in the same stateroom. There’s also a single-supplement-waived-fee offer. Though the program was originally for 2021 sailings, the cruise line has extended the offer for select sailings into 2024.
