When it comes to luxury river cruising, AmaWaterways has always been a standout choice for me. They offer an unparalleled experience that combines comfort, adventure, and culinary delights.

AMAWATERWAYS STANDOUTS


All-Inclusive Excursions: Find the Hidden Gems


AmaWaterways sets itself apart by including all excursions in the cruise package. This means that whether you're exploring charming towns, touring historical landmarks, or experiencing local cultures, you won't have to worry about additional costs. This commitment to comprehensive exploration allows travelers to fully appreciate the beauty and history of each destination without any hidden expenses. 


Chef's Table: A Culinary Experience


AmaWaterways features the Chef's Table, an exclusive unique dining experience for their guests. This intimate setting at the back of the ship offers a five-course gourmet meal with carefully curated wine pairings. The menu includes flavors of the regions you'll be visiting, providing a true taste of the local cuisine. 


Dual Balconies: Breathtaking Views


AmaWaterways understands the importance of enjoying the breathtaking scenery along the riverbanks. The staterooms are equipped with dual balconies, giving guests panoramic views. This unique feature ensures that you can savor the natural beauty of your surroundings in ultimate comfort. 


Swimming Pool: Relaxation on the River


Unwind and rejuvenate in style at the ship's swimming pool. Whether you want to take a refreshing dip or simply bask in the sun while enjoying the passing scenery, the on-board swimming pool provides a tranquil retreat. It's the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploration or to enjoy a leisurely afternoon on the water. This is a unique feature that is not usually offered on a river cruise ship. 


Bicycles and Tailored Excursions: Pedal Through History


AmaWaterways caters to the active traveler by providing bicycles on board, each carefully designed for the destinations you'll be visiting. Guided bicycle excursions allow you to explore the surroundings at your own pace, providing an immersive and invigorating way to experience the beauty of each port of call. 


One-Hour Cocktail Reception: Socialize in Style


Kick off your evenings with a one-hour cocktail reception, bringing passengers together to share their daily experiences. This social event fosters a sense of community among travelers, creating lasting memories and friendships. It's the perfect way to kick-off the evening's entertainment and dining. 


Walk-On Entertainment: Cultural Immersion


AmaWaterways brings the local culture to life with walk-on entertainment. Experience the traditions, music, and dance of the regions you visit, right on board the ship. This immersive entertainment adds a layer of authenticity to your trip, creating a truly enriching experience.


Cooking Class and Kitchen Tour: Unleash Your Inner Chef


Delve into the culinary arts with on-board cooking classes and kitchen tours. Learn the secrets of regional dishes from expert chefs, gaining hands-on experience in preparing local specialties. It's a unique opportunity to take a piece of the destination home with you, as you recreate the flavors of your river cruise in your own kitchen.


AmaWaterways' commitment to all-inclusive luxury, culinary excellence, and immersive experiences makes it a standout choice for a river cruise.
