AmaWaterways

AmaWaterways offers destination-rich river cruise itineraries designed to immerse guests in the culture, history, and scenery of each region. Sailing along some of the world’s most iconic rivers, AmaWaterways focuses heavily on Europe, with voyages on the Danube, Rhine, Main, Moselle, Seine, Rhône, and Douro, along with more exotic journeys on the Mekong in Southeast Asia, the Nile in Egypt, the Chobe River in Africa, and the Magdalena River in Colombia.

Cruise lengths vary by region, but AmaWaterways commonly offers 7-night core itineraries, which can be combined into longer 14-night or extended voyages, as well as select sailings of 10+ nights. European river cruises often highlight multiple countries in one journey, with stops in historic cities, charming villages, vineyards, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Guests can explore destinations such as Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and beyond, while more exotic itineraries provide deeper cultural immersion in Asia, Africa, and South America.

The AmaWaterways lifestyle is centered around a relaxed, upscale river cruise experience that emphasizes cultural immersion, wellness, and personalized service. With smaller ships and fewer guests, the onboard atmosphere is quiet, refined, and social without feeling crowded, making it ideal for couples, mature travelers, and guests seeking a more intimate way to explore each destination. AmaWaterways places a strong focus on included experiences and value, with many core elements already part of the cruise fare. Guests can enjoy daily guided shore excursions, often with multiple activity levels such as walking tours, biking tours, and cultural visits, along with fine dining, wine, beer, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, onboard entertainment, and Wi-Fi. Additional experiences such as premium excursions, spa treatments, and certain specialty services may be available at an extra cost.

Accommodations on AmaWaterways ships are designed with a boutique hotel feel, offering spacious staterooms and suites, many featuring the line’s signature twin-balcony design—a French balcony paired with a full outside balcony. Staterooms typically include comfortable bedding, modern bathrooms, ample storage, entertainment systems, and thoughtful touches for extended comfort, creating a relaxed and upscale environment throughout the voyage.
