Why Embark on a River Cruise with AmaWateways?

When you embark on a river cruise journey with award-winning AmaWaterways, you’ll unpack once and step aboard a world of unparalleled experiences throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and, beginning in 2024, South America. Each day begins in a brand-new destination where guests are always greeted with a smile and warmly welcomed into the dining room for a delicious made-to-order breakfast, such as an omelet made with cage-free eggs or a vibrant breakfast bowl. 

Later, you will step off the ship into the heart of Old-World capitals or storybook villages and enjoy a diverse array of included excursions. Alongside an intimate group of kindred travelers, your local guide will regale you with the tales of kings and queens, renowned composers, great explorers and so much more as you walk, pedal or hike to fascinating castles, cathedrals, vineyards and beyond.

Upon returning to the ship, be greeted with refreshing water or perhaps hot mulled wine depending on the season, later whisked away to a complimentary Sip & Sail cocktail hour and treated to an exceptional multi-course dinner before an evening of live entertainment. Your journey is AmaWaterways’ passion, and they are thrilled to welcome you on board their award-winning ships for an unforgettable river cruise experience.
