The AmaWaterways Difference

Immerse yourself in the heritage and history of picturesque rivers while cruising through Europe. Unpack once before gliding along the water, taking in the iconic scenery, then stepping right off your luxury river cruise ship and into the charming villages and majestic cities along the rivers. With your choice from up to seven excursions available each day—all of which are included in your upfront fare—you can explore these destinations how you wish, from gentle walking tours that take you to iconic sites to food and wine tastings of regional specialties to active hiking and biking tours. With an extraordinary crew and a dedicated Cruise Manager taking care of every detail along your journey, you can relax in your spacious, elegantly appointed stateroom, savor exquisite meals made with locally sourced ingredients in our included Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, and recharge with complimentary exercise classes led by a dedicated Wellness Host.
