Dear Traveler,

AmaWaterways has certainly come a long way since 2002, when Kristin Karst, Jimmy Murphy and I started our company with a handful of dedicated employees and a vision to deliver the best river cruises in the world. Our fleet now numbers 17 magnificent custom-designed ships, with more already on the drawing board. Our passionate and hard-working team has grown significantly over the past decade to provide you with even higher standards of service. We have also earned many prestigious awards and much favorable media attention, both in the U.S. and abroad. Yet there is one thing that will never change – our commitment to providing unforgettable travel experiences for our guests. This 2014 Preview Brochure presents an overview of all our exciting AmaWaterways itineraries as well as new ships – the AmaSonata on the Danube and the AmaReina on the Rhine – and new land programs. Whether you join us on the great waterways of Europe, Russia, Africa or Southeast Asia, you will make lifelong memories aboard an AmaWaterways river cruise. Sincerely, Rudi Schreiner President

The Vision

There may be no better way to appreciate the scenery, history and cultures of the world than on a leisurely, life-enriching river cruise.

THE PREMIUM EXPERIENCE At AMAWATERWAYS, we are proud of our reputation for delivering the finest river cruise vacations on the world’s greatest rivers. With our ever-expanding fleet of vessels, creative itineraries and caring, ultra-attentive service, it’s no wonder we have earned some of the travel industry’s most prestigious awards. Our family-owned and operated company was launched over a decade ago by river cruise pioneers with a passion for delivering life-changing travel experiences. We wanted to take river cruising to a whole new level, so we focused on distinctive ship designs, the highest quality amenities and services, and interesting, well-crafted itineraries. AMAWATERWAYS is now the top river cruise line operating on Europe’s Danube, Douro, Main, Mosel, Rhine, Rhone and Seine rivers, and we have expanded to exciting new destinations around the globe. Our staff is renowned for its in-depth knowledge and friendly service and is dedicated to crafting the best possible vacation experiences for our distinguished guests.

innovative, custom-designed ships From our thoughtfully conceived public spaces to the elegant enclave of your private stateroom or suite, your AmaWaterways river cruise ship will transport you in comfort and style. Our awardwinning vessels continue to set new industry standards, each one meticulously crafted to provide the most comfortable, convenient and effortless way to tour the world’s most legendary waterways. AMAWATERWAYS president Rudi Schreiner has a background as a trained architect, and his intuitive design sensibility is evident in the upscale décor, modern artwork, spacious layouts and hotel-style amenities found on all our ships. Note: Our river cruise programs outside of our main European fleet – in Portugal, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Africa – are operated by our separate and distinct AmaVoyages division. These vessels differ somewhat from our European cruise ships and are described in greater detail on page 45.

The Vessels

Step aboard your AmaWaterways ship and enter an elegant â&#x20AC;&#x153;floating hotel,â&#x20AC;? a serene haven where you can relax, refresh and rekindle your spirits.

the onboard EXPERIENCE From the housekeeping staff to the cruise manager to the captain and crew, every member of our onboard AMAWATERWAYS team is knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated to surpassing your highest expectations. The small number of passengers on our ships allows for a very high level of attentive service. All AMAWATERWAYS ships have a Main Lounge with panoramic windows where passengers gather for lectures, watch the passing scenery or socialize with others. A full-service bar, dance floor, resident pianist and onboard performances by local entertainers make this lounge a popular spot in the evenings. Most ships also feature a more intimate Aft Lounge, an ideal place to gather with friends. Our European vessels all have a fitness room, full service beauty salon and an onboard massage therapist, and some ships also have a sauna.

exceptional cuisine AMAWATERWAYS is well-known for its delicious and inventive cuisine. We are the only river cruise line to ever be inducted into the prestigious Chaîne Des Rôtisseurs culinary guild and our executive chef has three gold medals from top international competitions. Menus are carefully designed to incorporate local specialties along with international favorites and can be altered to accommodate nearly every dietary preference. Our newest ships in Europe offer several dining venues, including a main dining room, a wine bar, an intimate Chef’s Table restaurant, and an al fresco dining terrace where you can enjoy a light lunch as you gaze out at the ever-changing view. With lavish breakfast and lunch buffets, continental breakfasts for early risers, delicious lunches and multi-course dinners with complimentary free-flowing beverages (fine wine, beer, soft drinks and juice), decadent desserts, late morning and tea time treats in the Main Lounge, and hot late-night snacks, there is no reason to ever go hungry on an AMAWATERWAYS cruise!

The View

Standing on your private balcony, watching a medieval castle slowly emerge from the morning mist...see the world from an entirely different perspective.

360° RIVERSIDE VIEWS On every AMAWATERWAYS river cruise, we’ve gone above and beyond to ensure that the journey is every bit as enjoyable as the destination. Our river cruise ships are carefully designed to optimize the view, allowing you to admire the quaint villages, vibrant cities, picturesque vineyards, temples, castles and other key sights that line our scenic river routes. Immerse yourself in your surroundings as you sip a glass of fine local wine or bask in the sun on one of our viewing decks, watching the beautiful scenery slowly glide past. There is no better way to see the world!

STATEROOMS & balconies AMAWATERWAYS has pioneered many onboard innovations, such as our concepts for some of the best staterooms found on any river cruise fleet. Our spacious staterooms have the feeling of elegantly appointed hotel rooms, with plenty of storage space, bathrooms with multi-jet showers and quality toiletries. Each stateroom has individual climate controls, a phone, a safe, and complimentary bottled water replenished daily. Staterooms are refreshed twice daily, with evening turndown service that includes a recipe card from the chef, an overview of the next day’s itinerary and chocolates on your pillow. Standard staterooms start at 170 square feet* and most feature French Balconies with floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Our newest ships also offer another AMAWATERWAYS innovation, Twin Balcony Staterooms, which provide a French Balcony and a separate step-out balcony. The perfect spot to have a cup of coffee, read or simply relax and take in the passing view. The AMAWATERWAYS in-room Infotainment System is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Each stateroom comes with a flat-panel TV and complimentary access to movies, TV shows, travel videos, music channels and high-speed Internet service. Complimentary Wi-Fi access also makes it easy to stay in touch with people back home. *160 sq. feet on the AmaSonata, AmaReina, AmaCerto and AmaPrima

Discover

AmaWaterways river cruisesâ&#x20AC;Śthe difference between truly experiencing a destination and merely passing through it.

SMALL GROUP SHORE EXCURSIONS Our expertly guided shore excursions are included daily at no additional cost. We take great pride in facilitating authentic cultural encounters, such as visits to local markets, demonstrations by local artisans and music and dance performances. We strive to create exclusive experiences in every port and offer a choice of excursions whenever possible. Of course, you always have the option to simply walk into town, borrow a bicycle to explore on your own or on a guided bike tour, or simply relax on board. AMAWATERWAYS shore excursions also vary in terms of physical exertion. “Gentle Walkers” stroll at a leisurely pace, “Regular Walkers” move at an average clip, “Active Walkers” go at a faster pace to cover more ground, and in many ports we have a “Late Starters” group for those who like to sleep in. No matter which pace you select, your tour will be led by a licensed English-speaking guide with extensive local knowledge. Recruited for their enthusiasm, resourcefulness and “insider” expertise, our top-notch guides bring each destination’s history, people and culture vibrantly alive. And you will never miss a word your guide says, thanks to our complimentary lightweight audio headsets.

CULINARY DELIGHTS - BITES & SIGHTS Passionate about food? Treat yourself to the “Culinary Delights – Bites & Sights” tours offered on our European itineraries. Led by local food experts, these optional excursions let you experience the history, culture and distinct flavors of your destination in a truly unique and memorable way. Wander through colorful produce and meat markets. Sample regional delicacies such as sachertorte in Vienna, tapas in Madrid, or sausages at Germany’s oldest restaurant. Roll up your sleeves for a memorable hands-on experience, making goulash in Hungary, Lyonnaise cuisine in Provence, or knotted pretzels in Germany. As with all our small group excursions, the intimate size of these tours make the experience even better. Bon appetit!

Explore

Enhance your river cruise experience by exploring quaint villages and scenic riverside paths on your own two-wheeled adventure.

bicycleS & guided bike tours AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to provide guests with a complimentary fleet of bicycles on European voyages. Our comfortable and well-maintained bikes allow you to take full advantage of the many miles of scenic paths and urban bike lanes found throughout Europe. You can often cycle from one port to the next, pedaling alongside the river as your new onboard friends wave to you from the top deck of the ship. We also offer guided bicycle tours with expert local guides who will regale you with stories as you spin along. One of our guests’ favorite places to cycle is along the Danube River, a region ripe with castle ruins, fragrant fruit orchards and sprawling, centuries-old vineyards. Cross the river on a small ferry, or stop for a pint of beer at a cozy riverside café. Pedaling on paved pathways through picturesque villages and medieval towns, coasting past lush farmland, the sun on your face and the wind in your hair…there is truly no better way to experience Europe’s charm and beauty. With two wheels spinning beneath you, you can do as the locals do in Amsterdam, quite possibly the world’s most bicycle-friendly city, explore the Dutch countryside, surrounded by brilliant carpets of brightly colored tulips. Turn down that intriguing lane in Provence, letting your curiosity guide the way. Explore quaint German hamlets, navigating delightful mazes of cobblestone streets. Our fleet of bicycles allows you to fully immerse yourself in your destination, yet another distinctive feature of an AmaWaterways river cruise.

You will also have ample opportunities to meet local vintners, taste renowned vintages and sample undiscovered gems.

Jewish Heritage Cruises AmaWaterways offers four Jewish Heritage itineraries along the Danube that visit synagogues and Jewish districts, museums and monuments. Led by knowledgeable guides, the Jewish Heritage shore excursions on these departures are open to all interested passengers. Highlights include the home of Holocaust hero Oscar Schindler, the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, Vienna’s Jewish Museum, Judenplatz, Old Synagogue, Jewish Cemetery and Jewish Quarter, and an optional excursion to Terezin, a former Nazi concentration camp.

Holiday Cruises Our popular Thanksgiving Cruise kicks off the holiday season with a traditional dinner that includes everyone’s seasonal favorites. From late November to late December, AmaWaterways offers several cruises that visit Europe’s oldest and most beloved Christmas Markets, including those in Prague, Nuremberg, Vienna and Salzburg. Indulge in mulled wine and other once-a-year treats as you browse for handmade ornaments and old-fashioned toys. Traveling during the holidays is an exceptionally memorable and magical way to celebrate the season.

Chocolate Connoisseurs Cruise AmaWaterways first-ever chocolate cruise in April 2014 will be a decadent and delicious spin on our Romantic Danube itinerary. Hosted by acclaimed American chocolatier Norman Love, this cruise aboard the AmaCerto features chocolate-making demonstrations, lectures and tastings, capped off with an ultra extravagant grand finale.

When in Heidelberg, be sure to try a Heidelberg Kiss. In the 1800s, a local pastry chef created a “Student Kiss,” made with chocolate, praline nougat and a thin wafer cookie, so young men could give respectable young ladies a chaste but delicious kiss. These handmade sweets are still available today.

Cakes and pastries are a constant temptation in Portugal. Many are still based on recipes created by nuns in the Middle Ages. Supposedly the nuns used egg whites to stiffen their habits and then had to make lots of desserts to use up the leftover yolks.
