Welcome to AmaWaterways When we founded AmaWaterways ten years ago, our motivation was to provide the most exceptional river cruise experience possible. Our company has grown substantially since then and our commitment to excellence continues to endure. AmaWaterways leads the way in river cruising thanks to our fleet of custom-designed ships, deluxe amenities and attentive service. We were the first cruise line to offer such benefits as French Balconies, complimentary in-room Internet access, ship-wide Wi-Fi, award-winning cuisine and guided bicycle excursions. Four of our newest ships offer generously sized staterooms with Twin Balconies, a choice of dining venues and other exquisite features. There are exciting new itineraries and special theme cruises as well, such as our “Culinary Delights” shore excursions. It all adds up to make 2013 the perfect year for river cruising. We are extremely proud of our fifteen vessel fleet. Debuting in 2013 is the 164-passenger AmaPrima, sister ship to the AmaCerto, our largest and most imaginative ship. Inspired by classic luxury yachts, these vessels feature Twin Balcony staterooms (an AmaWaterways exclusive), a choice of indoor and outdoor dining venues, a heated swimming pool, and a stunning glass elevator. Our award-winning European fleet also includes the AmaVerde, AmaBella, AmaDolce, AmaLyra, AmaDante, and AmaCello as well as our beautiful AmaLegro and Amadagio, which cruise the Seine and Rhone Rivers respectively in France. Each provides the signature experience our passengers have come to expect from an AmaWaterways cruise. The newly-built Amavida will make her debut on the enticing Douro River in spring 2013. The redesigned AmaKatarina cruising on the Volga River boasts balconies in more than 70 percent of her staterooms. The AmaLotus and La Marguerite continue on the Mekong River, part of our “Vietnam, Cambodia and the Riches of the Mekong” program. And the beautiful Zambezi Queen was specifically designed for safari river cruising on the Chobe River. Representing the family ownership from left to right: James Murphy and daughter Susan; Kristin Karst and Rudi Schreiner; Louise Tandy and father Geoff McGeary

There is no better way to experience the soul of a destination than to be surrounded by a panorama of history. Discover the cultures of a dozen European countries linked together from the North Sea to the Black Sea. Immerse yourself in a Provencal landscape that has inspired generations of painters, poets and writers. Journey through the wonderfully scenic Douro River Valley. Marvel at the monuments of Imperial Russia. Explore the ancient wonders of the Mekong Delta. The world awaits and our passion for providing distinctive and enriching river cruise vacations remains as strong as ever. We hope to welcome you aboard soon!

INTRODUCTION

CUSTOM-DESIGNED SHIPS Our top priority in designing our luxurious fleet of ships is to maximize the enjoyment, convenience and comfort of our guests. On our European voyages, we limit guest capacity to 164 guests to achieve an ideal staff-to-guest ratio and provide more attentive service. We also offer an array of world-class public facilities, such as uniquely designed lounges, expansive dining rooms, and fully equipped fitness centers and spas. You will enjoy a greater amount of personal space on board, both in public areas and in your private stateroom or suite.

“The ‘Twin balcony’ concept is really inspired… why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?” Charlie B. - Buffalo, New York

Whether relaxing in your stateroom, enjoying the sauna in the fitness center, or reading in a quiet corner with a cup of tea, your experience will be enhanced by our distinctive ship design. AmaWaterways President Rudi Schreiner is a trained architect with a flair for designing river cruise ships with upscale hotel-style amenities. As a true travel industry visionary, he has propelled his fleet to its current award-winning status, earning accolades from the media, travel consultants and satisfied passengers from around the world.

Professional service from our friendly team

INTRODUCTION

RIVER CRUISE EXPERTS Our company was founded in 2002 by Rudi Schreiner, Kristin Karst and Jimmy Murphy, all of whom brought tremendous experience, knowledge and dedication to the venture. A native of Vienna, Rudi is a river cruising pioneer, having introduced the concept of modern-day river cruising to the travel market in 1994. Kristin contributed extensive sales and customer service experience in Europe and North America. Jimmy Murphy is the founder of tour operator Brendan Vacations. Their combined expertise and “owner-operated” style of management have created the most distinctive river cruise line in the business. We believe in treating guests like family, so you will always get a real person — never an automated system — whenever you call during our extended business hours. Our friendly and highly-trained Cruise Managers are there to answer your questions and cater to your every need, from the moment you begin your vacation until you board your airport transfer to head home.

“…cruising by some of the world’s most famous and picturesque vineyards is stunning and memorable – a magnificent immersion in the best life has to offer.” Anthony Dias Blue Editor, Tasting Panel Magazine

Our new fleet of custom-designed ships, deluxe amenities, award-winning cuisine and enriching shore excursions are but a few of the features that put AmaWaterways in a class by itself. Our many years of expertise will ensure your river cruise is the vacation of a lifetime.

INTRODUCTION

THE PREMIUM EXPERIENCE When you cruise with AmaWaterways, you don’t simply visit a destination – you experience it. It begins with a champagne welcome as you step aboard and meet our courteous crew and your fellow passengers, people you will consider friends by the end of your journey. You will also meet a personable and knowledgeable Cruise Manager who will be with you every step of the way, even on your pre-cruise or post-cruise land program. It is this attention to detail that distinguishes AmaWaterways from all the rest. We meticulously plan our itineraries to maximize your enjoyment of the scenery, history and atmosphere of your chosen destination. Marvel at the stunning views through panoramic windows in our Main Lounges, or from the vantage of our Sun Decks or outdoor forward decks. Daily shore excursions allow you to visit Europe’s most famous landmarks and explore its hidden gems. Our revered team of chefs designs menus featuring regional specialties, and there is an ever-changing schedule of local entertainment to enjoy every evening. You will always have ample time for socializing and relaxation, too. Our ships feature comfortable lounges, lively bar areas, swimming pools, whirlpools, salons and fitness rooms. At the end of the day, you will be pampered with turn-down service, plush down bedding, and peace and quiet for a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, another day of adventure awaits!

INTRODUCTION

360° RIVERSIDE VIEWS When it comes to river cruising, the journey is every bit as enjoyable as the destination. All of our European ships feature elegant lounges and other public spaces where you can enjoy unforgettable views of ruined castles, ancient fortresses, and steep hillside vineyards. The spectacular wrap-around scenery will capture your imagination and lift your spirits.

“It’s incredible standing on the top deck and having a panoramic view of the historic scenery and beautiful country side. It’s a cruise I could do over again and enjoy.” Mike & Chris Brown Cantera Cellars Camarillo, CA

Our expansive Sun Decks offer the ultimate vantage point. Sip a glass of wine and bask in the sunshine as your ship glides through Europe’s most dramatic river gorges. Recline in a lounge chair underneath a shady canopy, delve into a book from the onboard Library, jog a few laps around the walking track, play a game of giant chess, or soak in the warmth of the relaxing whirlpool. Two of our newest ships, the AmaPRIMA and AmaCERTO, have an al fresco bistro on the Forward Deck protected by a glass windbreaker – linger as long as you wish and enjoy every moment of the 360 degree view!

Complimentary shore excursions with professional tour guides

INTRODUCTION

SMALL GROUP EXCURSIONS Our complimentary Small Group Shore Excursions provide memorable experiences with top-notch local guides. There is no better introduction to any region’s culture and heritage. Enjoy a city tour of Amsterdam, explore a medieval castle, visit Germany’s oldest university town… these are but a few examples of the excursions included in your cruise.

“At each city-stop we were offered a guided tour, transportation to local attractions, shopping opportunities, and free time to personalize our exploration… Each day was its own separate and complete adventure!” Kim K. Philadelphia, PA

We offer three levels of walking tours: a “Gentle Walkers” group that explores at a leisurely pace; an “Active Walkers” group that covers more ground; and a “Late Starter” group for those who prefer to sleep in. Enhance your experience with one of our ingenious audio headsets, a device that allows you to wander at your own pace and never miss a word your guide says.

INTRODUCTION

CULINARY DELIGHTS - BITES & SIGHTS Our exclusive “Culinary Delights — Bites & Sights” guided walking tours provide a delectable taste of Europe with top-notch local guides. Most of our cruise itineraries include at least one of these unique food-themed shore excursions, each limited to no more than 20 guests. There is no better introduction to any region’s culture than through its culinary heritage and traditions! Sample regional specialties at Paris’ famed Les Halles market, have a mug of kölsch beer in Germany’s oldest university town, or visit a 200-year-old mustard mill. From the Black Sea to Barcelona, from paprika to wine-poached pears, our guests often cite these culinary excursions as a highlight of their river cruise. You might visit a French cooking school to learn about Lyonnaise or Provencal cuisine, share plates of savory tapas in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, or stop at various specialty shops to sample Belgian waffles, Dutch cheeses, or smoked German sausages. Chocolate lovers can learn how to pair wine with dark chocolate in France, sample scrumptious pralines at Germany’s oldest chocolatier, or indulge in the world-renowned chocolate cake known as Sachetorte, one of Vienna’s most famous culinary specialties. You might even have a more hands-on experience by visiting a Bulgarian home to make traditional filo dough pastries or knotting your own pretzel at a German bakery.

"What a fabulous tour! AmaWaterways really showed us the culinary side of the cities we visited. We truly appreciated these excursions." Jennifer T. Salt Lake City, UT

In the timeless words of French author Francois de La Rochefoucauld, “To eat is a necessity, to eat intelligently is an art.” Whether you are a bona fide gourmand, an aspiring “foodie,” or simply love to eat unique and delicious food, our Culinary Delights tours will give you a truly authentic travel experience. Bon appetit! NOTE: “Culinary Delights – Bites & Sights” excursions are complimentary; capacity controlled and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Executive Chef Primus Perchtold

INTRODUCTION

CHAÎNES DES Rôtisseurs We are extremely proud to be the only river cruise line inducted into La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, one of the world’s most prestigious culinary organizations. This society was founded in Paris in 1950 to honor the traditions of the Royal Guild of Goose Roasters, originally chartered in the 13th century. This guild was once so renowned that King Louis XII of France granted it its own coat of arms, complete with two roasting spits, four larding needles and hearth flames. The Guild of Roasters thrived for four centuries, until the French Revolution brought it to an end. The society was reborn in modern times and rechristened La Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and has grown to include professional chefs, restaurateurs and hoteliers around the world.

Rudi Schreiner, President of AMAWATERWAYS, being inducted at Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

Membership is by invitation only, extended only to those possessing world-class culinary acumen. All of our ships in Europe are members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and our culinary staff is united by a desire to share their expert knowledge of wine and fine dining with you.

Venture out on your own and explore charming towns

INTRODUCTION

COMPLIMENTARY BICYCLES Be a Free Spirit Bicycle riding is enormously popular in Europe, and many of its rivers are lined with scenic paths perfect for exploring the towns and villages along the banks of the river. We pioneered the concept of putting bicycles aboard our ships, and remain the only river cruise line that carries more than two dozen complimentary bicycles and plenty of safety helmets for our guests’ enjoyment. Venture out on your own two-wheeled adventure, meandering down riverside bikeways or exploring quaint village streets.

“The ability to see Europe up close and personal on a bicycle, not a tour bus, is really the best way to experience your cruise!” Britt A. - Chicago, IL

JOIN A GUIDED BICYCLE TOUR AmaWATERWAYS also offers complimentary guided bicycle tours in many cities, including Cologne, Cochem, Passau and Regensburg in Germany; Strasbourg in France; and Belgrade in Serbia. In the Netherlands, our guides will lead you past Edam’s picturesque farm houses, tulip fields and windmills. Or bike along the Danube between the historic towns of Dürnstein and Melk in Austria. Whether you join a guided tour or explore on your own, a bicycle offers a novel and fun way to experience complete travel freedom.

Guests seeking a bit more room may opt for one of our 255 square foot Suites. Each vessel has only three or four Suites, so early reservations are definitely recommended. For the ultimate in comfort, we also offer a limited number of suites measuring 350 square feet. Our suites include a sitting area and sofa, ample closet space, and a large marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and separate tub. All staterooms and suites come with luxurious hotel-style amenities such as plush down bedding, spa-quality toiletries and towels, multi-jet showerheads, flat-panel TVs, terrycloth robes and slippers, and complimentary bottled water replenished daily.

Our attentive service creates an exceptional experience

INTRODUCTION

SMILING FACES ON BOARD After eleven years in the river cruise business, we believe that the secret to our success is our dedication to superior service. Our guests consistently rate our personalized, professional and friendly service as a highlight of their cruise. How do we know? They tell us. Passengers complete a detailed questionnaire at the end of their cruise and we diligently read every single one of them. We have a well-earned reputation for excellence and customer service remains our top priority.

“It was an amazing trip, we loved every minute of it and so did our friends…It is first class the way AmaWaterways ran the tours and took care of everyone. We did a 15 mile bike ride one day along the river and had the best guides” Betty Cox, CTC, CTIE Travel Concepts Fountain Valley, CA

We recruit our Cruise Managers from a number of different countries, including Europe, North America, Russia, and Southeast Asia.

AMAVOYAGES Itinerary

amavoyages At AmaWaterways, we continually strive to provide new and unexpected river cruise experiences around the globe. We developed our “AmaVOYAGEs” river cruises in Vietnam, Cambodia, Africa, Russia and Portugal to make these intriguing countries more accessible to our intrepid clientele. Marvel at ancient temples and floating markets along the Mekong River in Vietnam. Step ashore in Cambodia to visit a Buddhist monastery, the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh, or try your hand at the delicate art of rice paper-making. Journey down the Volga, the “mother river” of Russian literature and folklore, exploring historic hamlets and grand palaces all the way from Moscow to St. Petersburg; visit Red Square, the Peterhof Palace, and enjoy a ballet performance at the world-renowned Hermitage Theatre. Float serenely down the Chobe in southern Africa, binoculars in hand, watching and listening for wildlife in the densely tangled foliage along the river’s edge. Or venture through Portugal’s Douro River Valley, one of Europe’s most scenic and unspoiled regions, with its deep gorges, steeply terraced vineyards, and sleepy fishing villages. The river cruise experience in these countries is separate and distinct from our regular fleet of European ships, amenities and services. Nevertheless, AmaVOYAGEs delivers the highest standards available on these cruises and accompanying land tours. Staffed by professional, English-speaking crews, the newly built or redesigned Voyages ships include the La Marguerite and the AmaLOtus in southeast Asia; the AmaKATARINA (a.k.a. Mstislav Rostropovich) in Russia; the exotic ZAMBEZI QuEEN in Africa; and the AmaVIDA in Portugal. For seasoned travelers or those who prefer to venture off the beaten track, AmaVOYAGEs delivers an adventurous and unforgettable way to experience some truly fascinating corners of the world.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND 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” or “AMA” refers to Amadeus Waterways, Inc., a California corporation. We offer the travel and enter into these terms and conditions with you pursuant to arrangements we have made with AmaWaterways, LLC, a California limited liability company (“AWL”). Reservation and Final Payment: To confirm a standard reservation, we require a deposit of $400 per person within 7 days of placing the reservation (3 days if departure is within 90 days). Final payment is due no later than 90 days before departure (due within one business day of making a reservation that is accepted less than 90 days before departure). Late or nonpayment may result in reservation being cancelled. For travel to Africa, we require a deposit of $1200 per person within 7 days of placing the reservation (3 days if departure is within 90 days). For a promotional cruise and/or land vacation, special payment terms may be required, and will be stated when reservation is made. All payments shall be in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated. Pricing: Brochure prices are in US dollars, per-person, based on double occupancy of a cabin, or standard hotel room, unless indicated otherwise. Single rates are available for the cruise-only, at a supplement of plus-50% of the brochure rate for standard rooms, plus-100% of the brochure rate for other rooms, such as deluxe rooms and suites. Single rates for land accommodations, are also available at a supplement. Single supplement for all Africa itineraries are at a supplement of plus-30%. Single supplement for custom or additional nights in Africa will be quoted by AmaWaterways at the time of booking. Please see individual itineraries for amount of supplement. Pricing accuracy is assured only at time of printing. If any of the cost factors increases, such as airfare, transfers, tours, travel insurance, port or dock charges, fuel, insurance, taxes, surcharges, currency exchange or other, we reserve the right to increase the cruise or cruise tour prices without notice. Airfares: AmaWaterways offers special airfare rates from many gateways in conjunction with all cruise programs; please call for complete details and availability. Intra-Asia airfare as offered in the Vietnam program and intra-Africa airfare as offered in the Africa programs are per person and include all fees, air taxes and air fuel surcharges as well as all other costs relating to these airfares. Prices Do Not Include: Published prices do not include vessel fuel surcharges; passport and visa fees; baggage fees; port charges, port taxes and fees; travel, health, accident or other insurance; 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 the USA. For travel to Vietnam and Cambodia, we require a copy of your valid passport prior to or at final payment. If not received in this time, embarkation may be denied and cancellation penalties will apply. For travel to Africa, a valid passport with 8 open/non-stamped pages is required. At publication time, a visa is required for a US citizen to travel to Russia, Turkey, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe (as well as numerous other countries). A non-US citizen must consult 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 cruise or cruise tour or other problems resulting from the participant lacking the appropriate travel documentation. Tickets: Only after receipt of full payment, travel documents, including air tickets, will be sent by regular ground delivery within the continental U.S., about 3-4 weeks prior to departure. (Delay in full payment will delay delivery of travel documents). Expedited delivery may be possible for an additional charge of $25 or the full amount of expedited services, whichever is more. Air Tickets: Airline and flight schedules are determined based on flight and seat availability of contracted carriers. Air tickets are economy class, unless otherwise requested and additional charge for upgrade is paid, and are issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant airline(s). Business class may be available for purchase at time of booking; please ask your agent for details. Airlines require your name to appear on your airline ticket exactly as it appears on your passport. We shall not be responsible or liable for consequences of name on airline ticket and passport not matching exactly. An effort will be made to obtain direct flights; but these may not always be available. Available direct flights could be overlooked. Thus, air scheduling may involve connections and/or overnight travel. We shall not be responsible or liable for costs resulting from lost air ticket, delay, disruption or cancelled flight; lost baggage or a missed connection. A lost air ticket is solely the passenger’s responsibility to remedy with the airline, including but not limited to filing a Lost Ticket Application with the airline. Custom Air: Special requests may be made through our Custom Air desk for choice of preferred air carrier, flight schedule, and some deviations. Requests must be made at time of booking. Any added costs or expenses will be the participant’s responsibility. Changes: Air tickets that we issue have restrictions. For example, they cannot be reissued, transferred, or exchanged unless approved by the carrier and a fee may be charged by the carrier. A change or refund request must be made through us, but may not be possible. For example, some air tickets are non-refundable. An administrative fee of $50 per ticket may be charged by us, in addition to airline change and cancellation fees, charged according to the airline’s fee schedule. Limitation on Special Requests of Airline: As a courtesy, we may try to relay a request for particular airline seating or meal, frequent flyer miles, or other assistance to the particular airline. We have no authority to grant a request, which is up to the airline. Whether or not we

relay a request to an airline, you or your travel agent must always confirm directly with the airline regarding any such request. 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, in either case, with weight and size restrictions. There are strict luggage restrictions for African Sunsets and Golden Trails of Africa participants; each itinerary requires guests to travel with soft-sided luggage (i.e. duffel bag) for intra-Africa small plane flights. Flights are limited to a maximum 20 kg or 44lbs, including hand luggage. Custom packages may also have luggage restrictions, please consult your travel agent or AmaWaterways. 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. We encourage you to purchase a travel protection plan that also includes coverage for baggage. Transfers: A passenger purchasing transatlantic air through us may qualify for a complimentary group transfer 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. The transfer may involve some waiting time. A passenger making his or her own air arrangements will be solely responsible for required transfers. Individual transfers can be purchased. Please ask your agent for details. 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 under the age of 11 may share a cabin with 2 adults provided that the child must be able to share the bed with the adults – no additional bed will be provided. The cruise fare for the child under 11 will be 25% of lowest cabin category price. Please be aware that cabins with French Balconies/Full Balconies may be unsafe for small children if left unsupervised. Children under the age of 4 are not allowed, and children 4-7 years old are not recommended. For Africa, due to safety precautions, there is a minimum age limit of 12 years old, unless otherwise agreed upon by AmaWateways. AmaWaterways does not provide childspecific programs or child-minding facilities. Cancellation Charges: In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice to us must be via email, which must include a return receipt and read notation, or other writing stating clearly and correctly each passenger’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. If already issued, unused air tickets must be physically returned to us before they can be cancelled. Cancellation date is the date we receive the written cancellation notice and unused tickets. A name change or substitution of participant is also treated as a cancellation in that all cancellation charges apply. Cancellation charges are per-person, based on the cancellation date, as follows: (i) more than 120 days before departure: $200 loss of deposit (Africa bookings are $600 loss of deposit); (ii) 120-90 days before departure: $400 loss of deposit (Africa bookings are $1200 loss of deposit); (iii) 89-60 days before departure: 35% of cruise or cruise tour price; (iv) 59-30 days before departure: 50% of cruise or cruise tour price; (v) 29-07 days before departure: 80% of cruise or cruise tour price; (vi) 6 days or less before departure: 100% of cruise or cruise tour price. For travCancellation charges also apply to additional charges for upgrades, transfers and other pre-purchased services. Protection plan premiums are non-refundable. Additional cancellation fees apply for air tickets. After travel begins, there is no refund for unused services, or unused portions of cruise or cruise/tour. TRAVEL PROTECTION PLANS: TO REDUCE OR MANAGE YOUR RISKS OF FINANCIAL LOSS AND OTHER LOSS ARISING FROM CANCELLATION OR DELAY OF TRAVEL, INJURY, DEATH, LOSS OF OR INJURY TO PROPERTY, AND OTHER RISKS, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO OBTAIN YOUR OWN TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN, TRAVEL INSURANCE, ACCIDENT, LIFE, HEALTH, MEDICAL AND OTHER FORMS OF INSURANCE. We offer a travel protection plan issued by Travel Guard, an independent provider of travel protection plans. They are not affiliated with us, and we disclaim any responsibility for them or their plan. Other forms of travel protection are also available. Ask your agent for information. GENERAL PROVISIONS Cruise and Cruise Tour Itineraries: We seek to provide services as published or stated in the final documents. But deviations to planned cruise, cruise tour 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, we reserve 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. Such changes will not entitle you to any credit or a refund. Cruise, cruise tour routes, and all other aspects of the cruise and travel are subject to change with or without notice. Accommodations: We will seek to use hotels listed (if any) in this brochure. Changes may be necessary; therefore use of such hotels is not assured. An effort will be made to substitute similar hotels. The level of similarity may vary. Standard policy for hotels in Europe is to have rooms available for check-in no earlier than 3:00 p.m. Personal Changes: Personal deviation from itinerary in the brochure for a packaged land program or other reason will not entitle participant to any reduction in charge. Participant will bear a full charge for any unused long haul transfer(s). Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel, change or postpone any departure date and itinerary. For complete cancellation of a cruise or cruise tour, we will refund monies paid for the cruise or cruise/tour, to a participant who has not previously cancelled. Disabled Participants: Notice: Handicapped facilities are not available on board or in many places visited on our cruises and cruise tours. And the passenger cannot rely on such facilities being available unless specifically confirmed in advance of departure. 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. If the impairment or condition first arises after making the reservation, participant must inform us in writing as early as possible. We may consider, and may confer with participant, the cruise operator, airlines, hotels and other service providers regarding possible accommodations. 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 the 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 outside Russia. Availability of medical doctors on vessels in Russia is not assured. If other 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 effort 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 occurring during travel, and to obtain supplemental health and medical insurance for the travel. Inoculations and Medical Preparation: All passengers traveling on the Golden Trails of Africa itinerary will require Yellow Fever vaccination. AmaWaterways strongly recommends that all passengers take Malaria pills for travel to Africa. Please contact your personal physician or local health department prior to travel for further detailed information and recommended precautionary measures. Smoking: Smoking is permitted only on the ship’s Sun Deck, and is not permitted elsewhere. Diet: Special dietary requests must be provided to us at time of reservation. An effort will be made to inquire about meeting the request. But we cannot assure the request can be accommodated. Disclaimer of Responsibility: Our arrangements are with AWL, and they arrange with others for services described in this brochure. Transport on river cruise ships (“ships”) or other forms of transport (“transport”) is provided by third party owners, operators and charterers (“supplier(s)”). Suppliers are separate entities and are deemed not to be principals, agents, employees or partners of us or AWL. We and AWL do not own or operate any ship or transport service. Accordingly, FOR US AND AWL WE DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR, AND PARTICIPANT WAIVES, RELEASES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ANY CLAIM OR RECOURSE AGAINST US OR AWL FOR OR AS A CONSEQUENCE OF: BREACH OF DUTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENT OR WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL ACT, FAILURE TO ACT OR OMISSION BY ANY SUPPLIER. Supplier and participant obligations and liabilities are subject in each case to terms and conditions of each supplier’s contract of carriage or other supplier terms and conditions, and any and all applicable government laws and regulations and international conventions that apply, including, but not limited to choice of law, jurisdiction of disputes and limitations of liability and limitations on timing of claims. PARTICIPANT AGREES THAT WE AND AWL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, AND LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY) OR EXPENSE OCCASIONED BY ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY SUPPLIER PROVIDING SERVICES, OR ANY PROVIDER OF A TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN, OR INSURER, OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. If the services of a supplier cannot be delivered or there are changes in any planned service for any reason beyond our control, we will make an effort to arrange similar services. Any resulting additional expenses will be participant’s responsibility. Limitation of Liability: REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER PROVISIONS IN THIS BROCHURE, OUR AND AWL’S LIABILITY FOR BREACH, DAMAGE, LOSS, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, OR OTHER LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE, ALSO INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ECONOMIC DAMAGES, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, MENTAL SUFFERING AND/OR PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGIC INJURY, WHETHER OCCURRING BEFORE THE START OF TRAVEL, AFTER TRAVEL HAS BEGUN, AFTER COMPLETION OF THE TRAVEL, OR MULTIPLE TIME PERIODS, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DUE TO ACCIDENTAL OR WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, OR OTHER CAUSE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID TO US FOR THE TRAVEL. Agreement: Forum and Jurisdiction for Legal Action: Payment of deposit and/or issuance of final documents shall be deemed consent by participant to these terms and conditions. These terms are deemed to be made, accepted and entered into in Los Angeles County, California. These terms and the rights and obligations of the parties, and any legal or equitable action concerning the interpretation, enforcement, or claimed breach of any term, obligation, or duty as contained or related to these provisions or arising from these terms and conditions, shall be interpreted, construed and governed by the internal laws of California with jurisdiction over such claims to be exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and/or the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Los

Angeles, California, U.S.A. to the exclusion of the courts of any other country, state, city, county or locale. You agree to consent to jurisdiction and waive any objection that may be available to any such action or proceeding being brought in such courts. You and we waive the right to a jury trial. Time Limit for Notice of Claims and Filing Legal Action: The parties agree that any notice of claim against us of any nature whatsoever which is connected to, related to or arising from these terms and conditions must be received by us in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of completion of the cruise or cruise tour. No lawsuit may be maintained against us unless the lawsuit is commenced no later than six (6) months after the date of completion of the cruise or cruise tour, and valid service of the lawsuit on us is made within thirty (30) days after commencement of the lawsuit. Acceptance of These Terms: You acknowledge and agree that we accept your booking subject to the condition that you accept these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions remain in effect until replaced in writing. Any new or reissued terms and conditions are deemed to replace all prior versions. No person, other than an authorized representative of us is authorized to vary, add or waive any term or condition in this brochure. To be effective, any variance, addition or waiver must be in writing, signed by our authorized officer. Passenger Contract: All ship transport is provided according to terms and conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract included in the final documentation and available for review at the following website: www.AmaWaterways.com. The Passenger Ticket Contract is between passenger and AmaWaterways Gmbh, an entity organized under the laws of Switzerland, which owns, operates and/or charters the ship, is governed by laws of Switzerland, and establishes limits of liability, limits on claims, and time limits for making claims, as well as other restrictions, limits and disclaimers. It incorporates provisions and limitations under the Athens Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage by Sea, 1974, and the Protocol to the Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage by Sea, 1976, the International Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, 1976, and the Strasbourg Convention on the Limitation of Liability of Owners of Inland Navigation Vessels, 1988. Venue for litigation of any disputes under the Passenger Ticket Contract is exclusively in the courts of Basel, Switzerland. Interpretation: Headings in these terms are only for convenient reference and shall not be used to interpret, construe, define or limit any provision. Whenever logical in the context, references to the singular shall include the plural, and vice-versa. You acknowledge the travel contemplated by these terms is voluntary; you are not obligated to purchase services from us or any particular provider, or at all, and thus you are not obligated or forced to enter into or accept these terms. These terms were developed to achieve a delicate balance and exchange of rights, remedies, limitations, exclusions, risks and risk management and economics between you and us; and the balance provides substantial benefits to you, which we could not offer at the attractive price(s) offered, but for that delicate balance. Absent that balance, prices would be much higher and services would be reduced. Accordingly, the provisions of these terms shall be interpreted and construed according to their fair meanings and not strictly for or against any person or entity. If any provision of these terms is found by a court having jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason(s), such provision shall be deemed to be severed and of no force and effect and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. California Seller of Travel Law: We are registered with the California Attorney General, California Seller of Travel Program as Amadeus Waterways, Inc., registration number CST 2065452-40. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California. Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where you are not at fault and did not cancel in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by you, all sums you paid us for services not provided will be promptly paid to you, unless you advise us in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where we remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed transportation or service. In this situation, we must provide you a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler. This transaction is covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if we were registered and participating in TCRF at the time of sale and you are located in California at the time of payment. Eligible passengers may file a claim with TCRF if the passenger is owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which we failed to forward to a proper provider or such money was not refunded to you when required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRF to any one passenger is the total amount paid on behalf of the passenger to the seller of travel, not to exceed $15,000. You must file a TCRF claim within one year after the scheduled completion date of travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing fee. A claimant must agree to waive (and by filing a claim with TCRF you do waive) any right to other civil remedies against us for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a TCRF claim. You may request a claim form by writing to: Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation; PO Box 6001 Larkspur, CA 94977-6001; or by visiting TCRC’s website at: ww.tcreinfo.org. For those who purchase travel from outside of California, this transaction is not covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund. For those who purchase travel from outside of California, this transaction is not covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund.
