Spacious Staterooms Our spacious and handsomely decorated staterooms feel like deluxe hotel rooms, with tasteful and thoughtful touches that have made AmaWaterways an award winning cruise line. Standard accommodation starts at 160 square feet while suites can be as large as 350 square feet.

Many of our staterooms feature a French Balcony or Twin Balconies (a French Balcony plus a full step out Balcony). Take advantage of the perfect spot to have a cup of coffee, read or simply enjoy the view.

On our European ships, the queen sized bed can be transformed into two twin beds, each with high thread count linens and a storage unit that slides underneath. There is a desk/vanity area with a large mirror, a cosy sitting area, a closet and alcove with additional shelves, and a small refrigerator (select ships).

Every stateroom has a flat screen TV that can be used to access our complimentary Infotainment system, which offers movies, satellite TV and music channels. The flat screen doubles as a computer monitor to access complimentary in-room Internet. Our accommodation also features: • Bathrooms with multi-jet showers • Robes, slippers and other hotel style amenities • Daily housekeeping service and evening turndown • Bottled water replenished daily • Generous storage space • Phone for room to room calls • Personal safe for your convenience

Immersive Shore Excursions Our expertly guided tours are carefully crafted so that guests experience the most interesting sights in each port and have opportunities for authentic local encounters. We recruit personable, top notch guides with an ability to bring each destination’s history and culture to life. We offer a choice of excursions whenever possible, or simply relaxing on board is always an option, too!

• Choice of walking tours for gentle, regular and active walkers • English speaking guides with extensive local knowledge • Complimentary lightweight audio headsets to easily hear your

personal guide

Limited Edition Tours Our Limited Edition Tours are an enticing alternative to our standard city tours in many European ports of call. These complimentary tours are ideal for guests who may have already visited a certain destination or just want to try something new. Examples include: • Guided bicycle tours • Cheesemaking demonstration • Calvados distillery tour & tasting • Ceramic tile painting

Bicycles AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to carry complimentary bicycles aboard our ships in Europe. Guests can take guided bike tours, explore destinations on their own and even cycle from one port to the next, pedalling alongside the river parallel to the ship. It’s the ultimate in touring freedom and yet another distinctive feature of an AmaWaterways river cruise.

AmaVoyages In answer to our guests’ growing desire to explore more remote corners of the world, we developed an entirely new division - AmaVoyages - to offer itineraries in Portugal, Russia, Vietnam & Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) and Africa.

AmaVoyages ships have onboard amenities and services that differ somewhat from our flagship European fleet, but these newly built or redesigned vessels deliver the highest standards available on the rivers on which they sail. These ships feature beautiful décor, comfortable accommodation, delicious western and regionally inspired cuisine, and wonderful onboard staff.

From the spectacular scenery of the African savannah to the ethereal temples of Angkor Wat, to the riches of Russia’s Hermitage, these one of a kind journeys are as life enhancing as they are unforgettable. Gaze upon centuries old pagodas covered in gold in Myanmar. Experience the thrill of a safari drive and spotting the “Big Five” with your very own eyes.

Spend a night in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and cruise through Portugal’s otherworldly Douro Valley. Along the way, enjoy the expertise of knowledgeable AmaVoyages guides, and the company of interesting, like minded travellers. There is truly no better way to see the world, one river at a time.

Our Africa itineraries offer the best of both worlds, the up close, unhurried luxury of a leisurely African river safari as well as a land programme filled with exhilarating game drives, unique cross-cultural experiences, and the thundering waters of the legendary Victoria Falls. Explore some of Africa’s most glorious settings, home to the “Big Five” and a vast array of colourful birdlife. Choose from our ‘Bucket List’ itineraries featuring some of the best hotels and lodges in South and East Africa, the Rovos Rail luxury train, plus a four night river safari aboard the Zambezi Queen, a vessel specially designed to showcase wildlife viewings and scenic vistas.

Details of Your Cruise & Victoria Falls Stay

Choosing a Safari There are many factors to consider when selecting the safari that’s best for you. Two of the most important are where to go and when. We offer three tantalizing land programmes in Southern Africa and East Africa with departures throughout the year. The winter dry season from May to October is usually considered the most optimal, when vegetation is sparse and animals gather at water sources. But every season has its own unique charms, making Africa an enticing destination almost any time of year.

South Africa South Africa is renowned for its natural beauty, wildlife, good weather, and diverse range of experiences, from safaris to wine estates to scenic coastal drives to chic urban nightlife. It also
