OUR STORY Family-owned and operated, AmaWaterways was founded in 2002; however, our river cruise story began well before that. President Rudi Schreiner was born in Vienna, at the heart of the Danube. His love of design drew him to architecture, but his even greater love of travel drew him to places far and wide. Combining both of his passions, along with the completion of the RhineMain-Danube Canal in 1992, Rudi became a driving force for river cruise travel—and for these efforts has been recognized as the “Most Innovative Cruise Executive” and was presented with the prestigious “Lifetime Achievement Award” by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Executive Vice President Kristin Karst brings extensive experience in luxury travel, river cruising and customer service to AmaWaterways. Rudi and Kristin partnered with Jimmy Murphy, a brilliant travel entrepreneur who built Brendan Vacations. His son, Gary, now carries on his father’s tradition in his role as Vice President of Sales. From the beginning, our goal was to create a river cruise company that we ourselves would enjoy. To us, that meant excellent food and wine, comfortable and tasteful décor, lots of space in which to relax, and staterooms with maximum views to enjoy the ever-changing countryside. With that in mind, we have been building one-of-a-kind ships with features such as our revolutionary twin balconies, with both a French balcony and an outside balcony. In 2019, we will continue to innovate with three new ships, including the AmaMagna—a distinctive evolution of our exceptional European river cruise fleet, offering the ultimate in luxury with even more space and more choices while sailing the legendary Danube.

YOUR JOURNEY, YOUR WAY As you relax on your private balcony gliding over the storied Danube River, sipping a Wachau Valley Riesling from the delightful vineyard you visited earlier in the day, you realize travel is about so much more than the destination. It’s about the journey; and when you journey with award-winning AmaWaterways, each day you’ll discover exciting cultures, be treated to authentic experiences, indulge in delicious cuisine accompanied by perfectly paired wine and find thrilling adventures. From the moment you step aboard your ship and are greeted by a friendly crew member with a flute of bubbly to the moment you bid farewell, your genuinely warm and welcoming staff will go above and beyond to ensure your journey is extra special and as memorable as possible. It might be a waiter who knows exactly how you like your omelet prepared in the morning or it could be your Cruise Manager who knows it’s your birthday and surprises you with a special cake made by our talented pastry chef. Wherever you decide to indulge your wanderlust, you can always be assured you are traveling on the most innovative and highest-rated river cruise ships as evaluated by the premier travel authority, Berlitz. “AmaWaterways spends considerably more on high-quality food ingredients and wine and hotel crew service training than any other river cruise company.” – DOUGLAS WARD, Berlitz River Cruising in Europe

As a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, a prestigious international culinary society, AmaWaterways excels in offering exquisite, locally inspired cuisine, ensuring an authentically delicious epicurean journey.

Appetizers and handmade desserts are artfully presented—and paired with distinctive wines— while delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options are equally enticing. You can also join a few of your fellow guests at The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, where the kitchen— usually hidden—becomes part of the entertainment. Watch as your chef prepares a true tasting menu with three appetizers, a champagne sorbet intermezzo, three main courses and three decadent desserts—all paired with carefully hand-selected wines reflective of the places you visit. In addition, be treated to a Welcome Cocktail and Dinner, La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Dinner, and the Captain’s Cocktail and Gala Dinner. COMPLIMENTARY BEVERAGES

On an AmaWaterways wine-themed cruise, you’ll be joined by one of our Wine Hosts—professional winery owners, winemakers, wine instructors and certified sommeliers from renowned North American wineries—who enthusiastically share their passion for wine with you. They’ll lead you through wine tastings, interactive discussions, and a food and wine pairing dinner on board. Onshore, they’ll join you on excursions to historic wine cellars, local wineries and iconic vineyards.

A bite of food and a sip of wine intertwine to ignite your taste buds. But it’s not just any wine; it is wine perfectly chosen to meld with the food on your plate and on your palate. Have fun learning how to tantalize your taste buds at a food and wine pairing dinner designed to heighten the relationship between the two. Rosemary-crusted lamb? A clear match for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Oysters on the half shell? Try a Loire white. Rich chocolate cake? Port is in order. Creamy French cheese? Pop open a bottle of bubbly.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WINE Austria’s UNESCO-designated Wachau Valley; France’s celebrated Bordeaux area and equally distinguished Côtes du Rhône region; Portugal’s Douro Valley, the oldest demarcated wine region in the world; and Germany’s breathtaking Rheingau, Franconia and Moselle regions all yield way to exceptional epicurean and palate-pleasing adventures. Imagine toasting with the perfect glass of sparkling Brut Reserve, or a dry, late harvest Riesling or a peppery, fruity Grüner Veltliner right in the Kremstal Valley. Now consider enjoying these wines in the company of newfound wine-loving friends right in the winery where they are produced. Truly, one of the most delightful aspects of wine cruises is visiting unique wineries dotted throughout the region—and the enchanting Burg Clam in Austria’s Kamptal wine region is one such winery you may visit. The Kamptal region, named after the Kamp River and home to Austria’s largest wine-producing town, is legendary for its many outstanding wine-growers. Thirsting for a papal history lesson as you enjoy a nuanced, flavorful wine with sumptuous texture, intensity and heavenly aromatics, including black currants, blackberries and herbs de Provence? Look no further than a special wine tasting in Avignon, France. Forever entwined with papal history, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (AOC) is one of the most renowned and popular appellations of the enchanting Rhône Valley. Indeed, Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine and its surrounding namesake region are loosely translated as “The Pope’s New Castle.” These are just a few highlights of the places you’ll visit as you discover the wonderful world of wine.

DISCOVER TIME-HONORED OLD WORLD TRADITIONS


THE DAYS OF WINE AND CHOCOLATE Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Johnny Cash and June Carter, red wine and chocolate. Some of the best things in life are even better together. After all, chocolate and wine have so much in common. Wine and chocolates are among the most popular gifts for Valentine’s Day, or really any day. While wine and chocolate may start out differently (one beginning in the form of a grape and the other starting off as a bean), they are both fermented with the same type of yeast.

WITNESS THE TIME-HONORED TRADITIONS OF WINEMAKING Drink your way through renowned vineyards uncovering the time-honored traditions of winemaking from the winemakers themselves—and taste the fruits of their labor. Discover the differences between a Moselle Riesling from Germany and an Alsatian Riesling from France on the Rhine & Moselle Splendors cruise. Or be treated to an in-depth understanding of the differences between Bordeaux’s Left Bank and Right Bank wines as you taste your way through Bordeaux. How about visiting Portugal’s legendary Douro River Valley, renowned for its famous Port wine on our Flavors of Portugal & Spain cruise? YOUR GLASS OVERFLOWS

TASTE THE SWEET LIFE

From the vineyard to the winery, learn how each step influences the wine in your glass with a variety of interactive and insightful wine lectures and tastings led by your Wine Host. They’ll accompany you to the local wineries and vineyards where you’ll learn firsthand from the European experts the nuances of Old World traditional wine-making methods. Explore the history, viticulture, flavors and perfect pairings of the top white and red wines of the world while sampling their contrasting styles.

Celebrate life’s sweetest moments and tempt your increasingly refined palate with the delicious array of locally produced wines throughout your journey. Wines such as Moscatel de Favaios, Vinho Verde, Beaujolais, Reisling, Côtes du Rhône, Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc and Pinot d’Alsace will be among either your favorite varietals or flavors to which you will be introduced, depending on your itinerary.

Of course, not all chocolate and wine pairings work quite as beautifully together as others. Just like complementing the right food to the right wine, one must know how to best pair wine and chocolates together for the best flavor combination. And where better to learn the nuances of wine and chocolate pairings than a 16th-century French castle, the Château de Tournon? A local expert will guide you through a special presentation and delicious pairing that is sure to entice your taste buds.

The Iconic Bordeaux Region

BORDEAUX, FRANCE

9

|


THE GARONNE, DORDOGNE AND GIRONDE ESTUARY In the corner of southwestern France, the Garonne and Dordogne rivers merge together to form the Gironde Estuary that naturally divides the famous Bordeaux region into the Left and Right banks. One of the largest controlled wine regions in France, Bordeaux is made up of several sub-regions, each with its own strictly governed appellation, unique climate and terroir. Unlike most wines around the world, the quality of Bordeaux wine is determined by these factors rather than the grape varietal. Bordeaux is acclaimed for its legendary red blends, though white blends from this region also make a big impression. The Left and Right banks of the river have different soil types that bring these exceptional blends to life.

tasting notes THE LEFT BANK: SAUTERNES AND MÉDOC The flatter, gravelly lands of the Left Bank embrace the heat of the sun south of the Gironde, giving life to many rich red and sweet white blends like those of the Médoc and Sauternes regions. THE RIGHT BANK: SAINT-ÉMILION The limestone and clay soils of the Right Bank are perfect for Merlot, the most popular grape used as a base for blends in Bordeaux. Prestigious appellations like Bourg and Saint-Émilion produce some of the best Merlot-based blends that are combined with Cabernet and other grapes.

Bordeaux’s perfectly carved countryside and historic landmarks will take your breath away. w w w. a m a w a t e r w a y s . c o m

The Many Flavors of Normandy

BIKING ALONG FRANCE’S SEINE RIVER

13

|


THE SEINE RIVER The curvy nature of the Seine River can be disorienting when you’re in Paris. Not to worry, just remember to face downstream, so you can tell the Left Bank from the Right. Our Paris & Normandy cruise itinerary is about as romantic as it gets, beginning with views of the art-inspiring “City of Light” that morphs into lush countryside and the historic Normandy Beaches. France’s second largest waterway allows us to sample some of the country’s most renowned Champagne, ciders and Calvados. The wine variety that instantly characterizes northern France comes from the Champagne region, about 90 miles east of Paris. These sparkling varieties produce a sweet effervescence and unparalleled quality that merit exclusive classification as the one and only wine known as Champagne. Another specialty drink found closer to the English Channel is Calvados, which comes from Normandy’s fruit-filled orchards. Made from over 170 apple (and pear) varieties, this rustic spirit is distilled twice and barrel-aged for at least two years before bottling. The result is a liqueur bursting with mainly complex flavors.

tasting notes DOM PÉRIGNON: A BENEDICTINE MONK & CHAMPAGNE Contrary to popular myth, the Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon, did not invent the “Champagne method” for making sparkling wine. A cellar master at the Abbey in Hautvillers in northeastern France, Dom Pérignon was the first to blend grapes in such a way as to improve the quality of wines. His legacy endures in the form of a prestigious Champagne from Moët & Chandon, which bears his name.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

FÉCAMP MONASTERY: A HEAVENLY ELIXIR

CHÂTEAU DE BIZY: A TASTE OF NORMANDY

Along Normandy’s dramatic Alabaster Coast lies the Fécamp Monastery. It is there that 19th-century wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand rediscovered the recipe for a special elixir—a medicinal herbal liquor known as la Bénédictine. Originally developed by a Venetian monk, this mysterious elixir’s complex flavor profile is sure to delight.

Inspired by the opulence of Versailles, the 18th-century Château de Bizy was constructed as a Royal Château. Enjoy an escorted tour of the salons and sample some delicious Norman cheeses, apple cider and Calvados at special tasting stations throughout the estate.

Idyllic Provence

HILLSIDE VINEYARDS ALONG THE RHÔNE RIVER

17

|


THE RHÔNE RIVER Besides providing captivating views of medieval towns and colorful landscapes, the Rhône River connects the dots between thousands of vineyards from Lyon to Avignon. Our Colors of Provence itinerary takes you through this prized wine-producing region in southeastern France, known across the globe as the Rhône Valley. You’ll also get to savor some delightful wines from the Beaujolais region just to the north, where the Rhône meets the Saône. The valley traces the path of the river for almost 150 miles, hypnotizing travelers with grape-covered vines gripping its steep sides. Since it’s so large, the climate varies greatly from north to south as does the soil and wine quality. Thus, the Rhône is divided at the town of Valence into two worlds of wine: the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône.

tasting notes THE NORTHERN RHÔNE: SYRAH What the Northern Rhône lacks in terms of size, it makes up for with prestige. Its continental climate and granite soils fuel the exceptional quality achieved by the noble vines in this region. Syrah grapes, like those used in the famous Hermitage wines, are so impressive that it’s the only red grape variety allowed to be grown here. These full-bodied, rich, tannic wines can evolve for decades, enhancing their delicate notes.

Sa

ôn e

Mos

THE SOUTHERN RHÔNE: GRENACHE A warmer climate is enjoyed in the Southern Rhône with hot summers and mild winters. The larger sub-region is responsible for nearly 95% of the entire region’s wine, including a wide range of everyday whites, rosés and Grenache-based red blends from the Côtes du Rhône appellation. The south also creates a variety of powerful, high-quality reds and whites in areas such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

AVIGNON: DIAMOND OF THE KITCHEN

LES BAUX AND OLIVE FARM EXCURSION

Truffles are a highly prized delicacy sometimes referred to as “the diamonds of the kitchen.” No man or machine can locate them; only specially trained dogs can detect their scent beneath the roots of certain types of trees such as oak, beech or hazel. On your truffle farm excursion, you will take part in a unique experience—an authentic truffle hunt.

Travel back in time along the narrow, cobbled streets of Les Baux-de-Provence, a medieval village with a hilltop fortress offering sweeping views of the vineyards and olive farms blanketing the landscape below. Head to an olive farm to witness the production process from tree to bottle and then sample flavorful oils and tapenades.

The World’s Oldest Wine Region

PORTO, PORTUGAL

21

|


THE DOURO RIVER Land near a river, naturally protected by mountain ranges, inspired winemakers to plant vineyards along the Douro, but wild landscapes and nutrient-poor soil made this an extremely difficult task. The birthplace of Port wine would simply not exist today if it hadn’t been for the centuries of determined winegrowers who laboriously carved rows of vines into the steep, dramatic terrain. Angled, rocky terrain just so happens to be ideal for the growth of grapes. Over the years, the magnitude of Portugal’s Douro Valley wine region has grown remarkably and it is now divided into three parts. Our Flavors of Portugal & Spain itinerary cruises through all three sub-regions.

tasting notes BAIXO CORGO Baixo Corgo lies closest to the Atlantic and has more than 33,000 acres of vineyards, yielding the largest cultivation of grape vines. The vineyards threaded through these extreme slopes give life to rich, tawny Ports, red and white table wines and sparkling Vinho Verde, which translates to “young wine.” CIMA CORGO Cima Corgo is home to a drier climate and proves to be the most fruitful region. The 50,000 acres of vineyards that cling to the Douro’s heartland produce remarkable, long-lasting table wines and Ports like those of the vintage variety in Pinhâo. DOURO SUPERIOR Douro Superior is the easternmost sub-region and has the driest conditions, slate-like soil and continental climate that gives life to some of the finest, most impressive vintage Ports in all of Portugal.

The Douro Valley’s intense, vineyard-covered landscapes give life to the one and only Port wine. w w w. a m a w a t e r w a y s . c o m

The Wachau Valley

VIEW OF THE WACHAU VALLEY, AUSTRIA

25

|


THE DANUBE Brilliant architectural masterpieces and vine-strung hillsides on the Danube River have inspired artistic creations for centuries. The Romantic Danube and Melodies of the Danube itineraries journey through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, so you can experience some of the most celebrated wines in Europe’s heartland. You can also explore the rich wine regions of the lower Danube on Gems of Southeast Europe. Over 3,700 acres of terraced vineyards rise from Austria’s illustrious Wachau Valley. Located between the towns of Melk and Krems, this cooler-climate wine region brings a wide variety of refreshing, peppery white-grape wines to fruition. Grüner Veltliner is considered to be the most important grape in Austria. Grown in loess soil by the river, these favored wines offer aromatic stone fruit flavors reminiscent of the terroir. Riesling, the second most popular grape, loves rocky inclines, so it is extensively sewn into the rich hillside. Fruity notes and floral scents surface from these unique whites.

tasting notes THE WACHAU VALLEY: GRAPES & APRICOTS The terroir and grape varieties of the Wachau Valley truly define the essence of its wine. So much so that the wines even utilize their own classification system, designed only for the Wachau. Of course, grapes aren’t the only fruit that grows here—the region is equally famous for its apricots, which have received EU protection since 1996. Each spring, roughly 100,000 apricot trees begin to bloom, adding to the landscape’s aesthetic beauty. Everything from apricot jams and strudels, to apricot dumplings, to marmalades, schnapps and brandies are yours to savor.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

PANAJOTOVIĆ WINE TASTINGS

SZEKSZÁRD WINE TASTING

Descend underground to the Roman-era passages beneath Belgrade’s Senjak Hill, which boast the ideal temperature for storing and serving the wines of Cellar Panajotović. There beneath the city, illuminated only by candlelight, you’ll delve into the complexities of Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the family’s most popular blend, a semi-sweet white known as Śeherezada.

Savor a spicy red derived from the renowned Kadarka grape while gazing upon the vines of South Hungary’s Szekszárd region. Though off the beaten path, Szekszárd has a time-honored tradition of winemaking—in fact, grapes have been featured on its coat of arms since the 18th century. Award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons, Cabernet Francs and Merlots even inspired such legendary musicians as Franz Schubert and Ferenc Liszt.

Three Legendary Rivers

THE RHINE, MOSELLE AND MAIN RIVERS The Rhine, along with its main tributaries, the Moselle and Main, has created a wine connoisseur’s paradise, which can be discovered on our Europe’s Rivers & Castles, Medieval Treasures, Captivating Rhine, Enchanting Rhine and Rhine & Moselle Splendors itineraries. The Upper Middle Rhine’s slate soil combined with a semi-continental climate has proven to be a recipe for wine-growing success for the Rheingau vineyards, yielding high-quality white wine varieties and some fine reds. Germany’s Moselle River Valley yields some of the finest white wines ever produced due to its blue Devonian slate and quartzite soils. Alongside the Main River in eastern Germany, a wide variety of wines have been surfacing from Franconia due to its special soils and Mediterranean-like climate.

tasting notes THE ALSACE: A HIDDEN TREASURE France’s Alsace region has been blessed with desirable conditions: ancient soils, noble grapes and an extraordinary climate. This region produces noteworthy dry Rieslings as well as highly aromatic Gewürztraminer wines and Crémant d’Alsace. THE MOSELLE: GERMANY’S OLDEST WINE GROWING REGION In Germany where Riesling reigns supreme, the sheer quality of the terroir and climate found along the Moselle is perfect for Riesling grapes. Many connoisseurs consider these wines to be amongst the finest white wines ever created.

Contoured by vineyard-clad hills and castles from yesteryear, the legendary Rhine captivates from both ship and shore. Experience the allure of France’s Alsace region in its welcoming capital, Strasbourg, famed for its awe-inspiring cathedral; and its priceless gem, Riquewihr, known for its historic architecture. Then there is Breisach, rising above the vineyards of the Rhine, and Freiburg, one of Germany’s sunniest cities and gateway to the Black Forest. Fabled towns lost in time present you with the chance to taste local flavors—Rüdesheimer coffee and Kölsch beer—and to touch history up close with guided hikes and invigorating bike rides. From Amsterdam’s colorful canals to the majestic Swiss Alps, journey into the heart of the destinations you visit.

STRASBOURG: ALSATIAN WINE TASTING

FREIBURG AND WINE TASTING

» Services of a professionally trained Cruise Manager throughout your cruise and land stay

The Vosges Mountains provide Alsace with ideal winemaking conditions. As such, Alsatian wines are not only delightful on the palate, they’re also highly praised for their fragrant aromas, ranging from bright and fruity to crisp and spicy. A visit to Alsace wouldn’t be complete without a tasting of some of the region’s most delicious and notable wines.

Freiburg is a Black Forest village straight out of a fairytale, with towering cathedrals and lush green hills. Enter from one of two medieval gates—the Martinstor, site of witch burnings in 1599, or the Schwabentor, with its tiny museum—each featuring a charming clock tower. Then, sip a velvety Pinot and become one of the Vierteleschlotzer, a name the locals have affectionately given to wine connoisseurs.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

RIQUEWIHR: THE GEM OF THE ALSACE

RÜDESHEIM: SMALL TOWN, BIG PERSONALITY

Tucked away between a wooded glen and protected from northern winds by the Vosges Mountains lies the medieval town of Riquewihr, considered one of the most beautiful villages in all of France. This quaint town is filled with colorful half-timbered houses painted red, green or bright yellow— some dating back to 15th century. Riquewihr has managed to retain its authentic character behind its iconic city walls.

Rüdesheim, located in the Rhine Gorge, has a long history dating back to Roman times. While it is known for winemaking, especially Riesling, it’s also known for many other things, including: the Drosselgasse, a lane lined with shops and restaurants; Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet, a museum with self-playing instruments; and Rüdesheimer coffee, ceremoniously made with brandy and whipped cream.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

SCHWETZINGEN PALACE GARDENS: A DREAM COME TRUE

BERNKASTEL: THE CITY OF VINE AND WINE

Prince Elector Carl Theodor had a dream to make Schwetzingen Gardens the most beautiful castle gardens in the world. And he did just that by instructing the leading landscape architects and artists of the age to design the gardens. It’s an enchanting place that blends two very distinct styles—the French geometric influence and the more organic English landscape—into one castle garden that is beyond amazing.

Bernkastel appears to have been lifted from the pages of a storybook with its charming cobblestone streets and attractions, such as the historic market square and the Landshut Castle ruins. Bernkastel also has a legacy for wine-producing and its vineyards are among the oldest in all of Germany. You’ll get to savor the celebrated Moselle wines at Dr. Pauly Bergweiler’s Wine Estate.

TERMS & CONDITIONS Parties: In these terms and conditions, “you” or “passenger” or “participant” refers to the person booking, purchasing or traveling on the cruise, and to individuals traveling as part of that person’s reservation. “We” or “us” refers to Amadeus Waterways, Inc., a Calfornia corporation (“AMA”) and AmaWaterways, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“AWL”). AMA offers the travel and enters into these terms and conditions with you pursuant to arrangements made with AWL. Deposit and Final Payment: To confirm a cruise or cruise & land reservation, we require a deposit of $400 per person for Europe and Asia itineraries and $2,400 per person for Africa itineraries on or before the deposit due date indicated on the confirmation. Transoceanic airline flights and packages require an additional deposit of $350 per person for economy class or $600 per person for business/first class flights. Certain airline tickets require non-refundable, full payment at the time of reservation. Hotel Extra Nights require a non-refundable deposit of $50 per stateroom at the time of confirmation of the hotel availability. Final payment is due no later than 90 days before the travel start date. Cancellation Charges: In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice to AmaWaterways must be via email to Res@AmaWaterways.com, which must include a return receipt and read notation, or other writing stating clearly and correctly each guest’s name, ship name, start and end date of the cruise and a brief statement of the reason for cancellation. Other forms of notice are not sufficient. The effective date of the cancellation is the date we receive the written cancellation notice. A change in sailing date, name changes, the substitution of a participant or a reduction in the number of guests in a stateroom are treated as a cancellation in that all applicable cancellation charges apply. Cancellation charges for bookings within charter and part-charter agreements are as per the charter contract. All other cancellation charges are per-person, based on the cancellation date, as follows:

Pricing: All prices are in US dollars. In the event that a cruise fare listed, quoted or advertised through any website, printed collateral, reservations person, travel agent or any other source is booked, but is incorrect due to an electronic error, typographical error, human error or any other error causing the fare to be listed, quoted or advertised for an amount not intended by AmaWaterways, AmaWaterways reserves the right to correct the erroneous fare by requesting the passenger to pay the correct fare intended, or by canceling the cruise booking. Airfares, air taxes and air surcharges quoted on your invoice or by a reservation agent are only guaranteed once airfare deposit or full payment is received by AmaWaterways. AmaWaterways reserves the right to increase prices without notice. Prices Do Not Include: Published prices do not include vessel fuel surcharges; passport and visa fees; baggage fees; travel protection; vaccinations; laundry; additional food and beverages; optional excursions; gratuities or other items or services of a personal nature. Passport and Visas: A valid passport is required for each participant. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date to your home country. Non-US citizens must consult the appropriate consulates regarding visa and other document requirements. Obtaining required visas and any other required travel documentation, and assuring these are complete and correct in all ways, is the sole responsibility of each participant. We are not in a position to obtain or verify the accuracy or completeness of any participant’s visa or other required documentation and shall not be responsible or liable for delay or missed portion of any part of the itinerary or other problems resulting from the participant lacking the appropriate travel documentation. Travel Documents: Only after receipt of full payment, travel documents (including airline confirmation information, if applicable) will be sent by regular ground delivery (US & Canada), approximately 3-4 weeks prior

to departure. (Delay in final payment will delay delivery of travel documents.) Expedited delivery may be possible for an additional charge. FLIGHTS & AIRPORT TRANSFERS Flight Schedules & Airfares: AmaWaterways offers special airfares based on the flight and seat availability of contracted carriers. We are able to accept a traveler’s choice of preferred air carrier, flight schedule, and some deviations so long as the requests are made at the time of booking the airline reservation. To hold/confirm an airline reservation, the airlines require your full legal name as it appears on your passport. For contract airline fares a deposit of $350 per person (economy class tickets) or $600 per person (business/first-class tickets) is required to secure the flight schedule and quoted price. Published airfare prices require full payment at the time of reservation. Once the airfare deposit or full payment is received your airline tickets will be issued and any changes will be subject to penalty if not cancelled within 24 hours of ticketing. Should the name on your airline reservation not match your passport exactly, your airline reservation will have to be cancelled, full penalties will be assessed and your reservation will have to be recreated subject to market pricing at the time of the new reservation. Air tickets are Economy class, unless an upgrade is requested, such as upgrading from Economy to Premium Economy, Business or First, and the additional charge for an upgrade is paid, and is issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant airline(s) upgrade policy. AmaWaterways guarantees this upgrade for long-haul flights, international travel over the ocean or on the longest flight on your itinerary only. For U.S. Domestic flights, intra-Europe, intra-Asia and intra-Africa flights, upgrades are not guaranteed and will be made only when possible and available. AmaWaterways is not liable if a Carrier did not accommodate the upgrade due to schedule change, aircraft type change, overbooked flights, strike or flight interruption for any reason. Carriers reserve the right to do all the above at any time and specially before boarding, and as such, AmaWaterways is not responsible. Should there be the need for a refund claim for the difference in the amount, it should be requested through the Carrier. Airlines require your name to appear on your airline ticket exactly as it appears on your passport. AmaWaterways shall not be responsible or liable for consequences resulting from an incorrect name on airline reservations if the passport name does not match exactly, including denied boarding. AmaWaterways shall not be responsible or liable for costs resulting from airline schedule changes, lost air ticket, delay, disruption or cancelled flight, missed connections, downgrades, denied boarding or voluntarily buying your own tickets without the knowledge and approval of the Carrier. In any of these instances, your claim will have to be with the Carrier and not with AmaWaterways. Changes: Airline tickets issued by AmaWaterways have restrictions and cannot be reissued, transferred, or exchanged. Any changes made to an airline ticket, including minor name corrections, will incur a minimum of $350 per ticket change fee for Economy and $600 per ticket change fee for Business, plus any additional increases in the cost of the airfare. A change

or refund request for tickets purchased through AmaWaterways must be made through us, but may not be possible. For example, some airline tickets are non-refundable. Once a trip commences, only the date of the return flight ticket can be modified for $350 per ticket change fee for Economy and $600 per ticket change fee for Business, pending available space, plus any additional increases in the cost of the airfare. Any other changes may result in buying a new ticket. The original return ticket, in part or whole, may not be refundable and no residual value can be used towards another purchase. Limitation on Special Requests & Frequent Flier Numbers: As a courtesy, we may try to relay a request for seat assignments, meal requests, frequent flyer numbers, or other special assistance to the airline. The sole authority to grant such requests rest with the airline and is not under the control of AmaWaterways. Whether we relay a request to an airline, you or your travel agent must always confirm directly with the airline regarding any such requests. To insure you receive proper credit on your frequent flyer account, we recommend you provide your frequent flyer number to the airline at the time of check-in. Our airfare prices use special contract fares that may not allow you to receive credit on your frequent flier account nor may they allow you to use miles to upgrade to a higher class. Baggage: Please check with the airline regarding their baggage allowance. Most airlines limit checked bags to either one or two pieces per person, and limit carry-on baggage to one piece per person, and weight and size restrictions apply. We shall not be responsible or liable for costs or consequences of participant exceeding the airline’s baggage restrictions, or for loss, theft, damage or delay to participant’s baggage. Airport Transfers: Guests purchasing transoceanic airfare through AmaWaterways may qualify for complimentary group airport transfers on a scheduled arrival between the airport and the ship or hotel, and on a scheduled departure between the hotel or the ship and airport. Airport transfers included in your airfare package will be reflected on your travel confirmation and on your travel documents. If airport transfers are not reflected on your confirmation, AmaWaterways is not responsible for providing airport transfer service to you. Please note: our group airport transfer service may involve some waiting time between the time your flight lands and the time you arrive at the ship or hotel. All guests making their own airfare arrangements are solely responsible for arranging their transportation to/from the airport. Individual airport transfers can be purchased for those guests who are scheduled to arrive/depart on our itinerary dates, please ask for details. GENERAL PROVISIONS Cruise and Cruise & Land Itineraries: Carrier seeks to provide services as published or stated in the final documents. But deviations to planned cruise, cruise & land itinerary or any other aspects of the travel may occur. If conditions make cruise routes unsafe for navigation or in other respects, or raise sufficient doubt about safety, Carrier reserves the right to modify or provide alternate services. These may include, but are not limited to, providing accommodation on the docked ship and/or substituting ground arrangements. An effort will be made to try to arrange elements of the cruise and cruise


tour similar to those originally planned, but the level of similarity may vary. Except as otherwise provided in your Passenger Ticket Contract, such changes will not entitle you to any credit or a refund. Cruise, cruise & land routes, and all other aspects of the cruise and travel are subject to change with or without notice. Hotel Accommodations: We will seek to use hotels listed (if any) on your confirmation. Changes may be necessary, therefore use of such hotels is not assured. An effort will be made to substitute similar hotels, but the level of similarity may vary. Standard policy for hotels is to have rooms available for check-in no earlier than 3:00 p.m. Subject to the discretion of the hotel, triple-occupancy hotel accommodations may involve the use of hotel rooms with just two beds. Only those guests who have elected to take our Cruise & Land program on the brochure itinerary dates will receive transfers between the hotel(s) and the ship. Cancellation: Carrier reserves the right to cancel, change or postpone any cruise departure date and itinerary. In the event of a complete cancellation of a departure by Carrier, we will refund monies paid for the cruise or cruise & land package to those participants who have not previously cancelled. Personal Changes: Except as otherwise provided in your Passenger Ticket Contract, deviation from the published itinerary for any reason will not entitle participant to any reduction in charge. Participant will bear a full charge for any unused services. Child Policy: All guests under the age of 18 are to be in a cabin with an adult, and must remain supervised at all times, and their safety is the responsibility of the accompanying adult(s). Children between the ages of 4- 10 at the time of embarkation may share a cabin with 2 adults provided the child is able to share the bed with the adults – no additional bed will be provided. Please be aware that balcony cabins of any kind may be unsafe for small children if left unsupervised. Children 4-7 years old are not recommended on any program and on our Africa program, due to safety precautions, there is a minimum age limit of 12 years old, unless otherwise agreed upon by AmaWaterways. AmaWaterways does not provide child-specific programs or child-minding facilities. Disabled Participants: Handicapped facilities are not available on board or in many places visited on the cruises and cruise tours we offer. If you (participant) have a disability and reasonable accommodation may enable you to use the services, please let us know how you believe we can help. Participant must inform us in writing, at or immediately after making the reservation, but in any event as early as possible, of any mobility impairment or other condition, whether physical, emotional or mental, which may require accommodation or use of an assistive device during the travel. A reasonable effort will be made to accommodate special needs, but we are not responsible for denial of service by carriers, hotels, or other independent suppliers. A participant, who, due to impairment, is not self-sufficient, may be required to travel with a companion who shall take responsibility for assistance needed during travel and in case of emergency. An individual with a disability that would result in a direct threat to the health and safety of others or to that individual may be excluded, if it is determined there is a significant risk that cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level by

reasonable accommodations, policies, practices, procedures assistive devices or services. If participant fails to timely inform us of any impairment or condition, and it is determined based on information that participant should have provided that participation poses a safety risk to participant or direct health or safety threat to others, participant may be excluded from parts or all of the travel. We shall have no liability to participant relating to any condition, treatment, failure to inform us of an impairment, or resulting exclusion. Pregnancy: For the safety of parent and child, and depending on various circumstances, passengers who are at an advanced stage of pregnancy (after 5 months) may be subject to restrictions or exclusion concerning their ability to travel and/or board a ship. Please inform us immediately, so we can assess your personal circumstances and possible accommodation. Medical: Medical doctors are not available on any vessel. If medical services are required, efforts to contact local medical providers will be made. A participant requiring such assistance is solely responsible for all related charges. We will not be responsible or liable for sufficiency of our efforts to reach medical providers, unavailability, delay, quality or other aspect of any such services. Participant is encouraged at time of booking and well before departure, to review participant’s health and medical conditions and insurance and consult participant’s health care and insurance providers regarding needs and scope of coverage for any incident or need that may occur during travel, and to obtain supplemental health and medical insurance for the travel, as needed. Smoking: Smoking is only permitted on the ship’s Sun Deck in the designated smoking area. Diet: Special dietary requests must be provided to us at time of reservation. An effort will be made to meet the request, but we cannot assure the request can be accommodated. Disclaimer of Responsibility: AMA’s arrangements are with AWL, and they arrange with others for services described in this confirmation and in our brochures. Transport on river cruise ships (“ships”) or other forms of transport (“transport”) is provided by third party owners, operators and charterers (“supplier(s)”).
