AmaWaterways

AmaWaterways (also known as "AMA Waterways") stirs the imagination and reinvents your very concept of luxury on the water. As the pioneer of river cruising, the line has much to offer the experienced traveled and the novice alike. Step aboard their stunningly modern ships, and you'll have the opportunity to explore the length of exotic rivers and travel deeply into lands across Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and beyond – completely refreshing any itineraries you may have experienced and opening up new ports of call you never thought accessible.

AmaWaterways river cruises operate a fleet of fresh-water vessels, modeled after the idea of floating five-star hotels. Each ship boasts step-out and French balconies, premium stateroom amenities, and warm, personalized service. With ultra-modern ships shaped and sized to promote friendly, one-on-one conversation, from your first day you'll sip complimentary champagne and begin meeting your fellow travelers and ship officers. While voyaging, you're in for a rare treat. Gone are the long stretches of nothing but ocean views – replaced with marvelous skylines, sweeping mountain ranges, multi-national peoples at work and at play, and fishing boats, sights, sounds, and smells authentic from the cities you pass by.

Excursions while cruising AmaWaterways will place you directly in cities and towns, eliminating long lines and busing that many busy seaports require. Enjoy exciting biking tours, leisurely strolls through the countryside, and take advantage of guided adventures through museums, farmlands, and ancient castles.

Along with luxurious amenities, AmaWaterways cruises will sate your appetite for exquisite cuisine. Many ships in the fleet offer multiple restaurant-style dining opportunities, serving up lobster, shrimp scampi, prime rib, vegetarian masterpieces, and a culinary selection based on the geographical region you pass through. As a demonstration of the exacting standards of the chefs onboard, every AmaWaterways vessel cruising in Europe is a registered member of La Chaine des Rotisseurs – a world-class achievement. Sit back, enjoy your food, and soak in lavish views of the river shoreline.
