Embrace Luxury

Luxury is the freedom to choose from an endless array of included experiences. It’s the feeling of having your every need and want taken care of from the moment you step on board. It’s exploring extraordinary destinations and enjoying exclusive experiences. Luxury is all of this and more.

Best River Cruise Line

The world’s leading cruise review website, Cruise Critic, recently voted AmaWaterways the Best River Cruise Line – and it’s easy to see why.

EVERY EXCURSION INCLUDED –UP TO SIX EACH DAY

We appreciate that no two travelers are alike. In celebration of what makes you unique, we include up to six daily excursions for you to choose from: guided hikes and bike tours, city tours offered at three activity levels, culinary demonstrations, wine tastings and excursions for late risers, all operated in small groups of less than 25 guests. Whether you are traveling solo, with your significant other or your whole family, it’s easy to personalize your river cruise experience.

Plus, with generous amenities such as heated pools, Entertainment-on-Demand in your stateroom and afternoon tea upon request, you can opt out of excursions at any time, taking a few moments or a few hours to yourself for the ultimate in relaxation.

BEST FOR ACTIVE CRUISERS

Among 650,000 reviews on Cruise Critic, AmaWaterways ranked #1 in the river cruise category as Best for Active Cruisers. With a dedicated Wellness Host curating a selection of fitness classes throughout the day during your Rhine River cruise, you may find yourself enjoying sunrise yoga while cruising into a charming German village, dancing on the Sun Deck in Amsterdam, or strengthening your core in Switzerland. We pioneered river cruising’s first complimentary Wellness Program in 2017 – and the offerings continue to grow.

Exceptional Culinary Experiences

Be treated to award-winning fine dining in multiple venues on board. Rise and shine with our vibrant breakfast bowls or perhaps a sumptuous Eggs Benedict in the Main Restaurant. Delight in our freshly made soups, crisp salads and an array of international dishes during lunch. Savor tapas and afternoon tea in the Main Lounge, offered upon request. And indulge in our multi-course dinners, including one evening at The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant courtesy of AmaWaterways, where the mouthwatering tasting menu and service are a highlight of your culinary journey.

LOCAL CULINARY IMMERSION

As the first river cruise line to be inducted in both La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and Tables et Auberges de France, we are proud to bring the taste of each country to your plate at every meal – including at The Chef’s Table. While on board, you will have the opportunity to indulge in local flavors such as German Sauerbraten and Alsatian Kugelhopf. During your included excursions, you may even witness the journey of some of the fresh, seasonal ingredients we prepare on board with visits to nearby markets, farms, wineries and distilleries.

SIP AND SAVOR WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS

You can also enjoy sparkling wine with breakfast, complimentary regional wines and local beers during every lunch and dinner on board, and a daily Sip & Sail cocktail hour just before dinner, all included in your river cruise fare.

Benefits of Reserving a Land Package

Make the most of your long-awaited vacation by adding our optional land packages before or after your sailing for an all-encompassing river cruise and land journey. Indulge your wanderlust and we’ll whisk you away between your ship and hotel, plus take you on specially curated guided tours with just the right amount of leisure time to explore the art, history or culinary delights in sought-after cities around the world.

WHY ADD A LAND PACKAGE?

There are many benefits to adding a pre- or post-cruise land package with AmaWaterways. One of the simplest reasons is the convenience of making all your future travel plans at once. No need to call and research multiple providers – just contact your travel advisor or call us and we will take care of it all. But the value of adding a land package doesn’t stop there.

CONNECT WITH FELLOW TRAVELERS BEFORE YOU EMBARK

Our pre-cruise land packages provide a more intimate environment in which to get to know other travelers who will also be joining you on the river cruise. While this is a wonderful perk for all our guests, solo travelers find this particularly comforting as they make instant connections with people they will dine with and join for excursions once on board.
