Ama Waterways
AmaWaterways stands out in the river cruise industry for its personalized service, elegant ships, and comprehensive itineraries. Here's what makes them different from competitors:
Unique Destinations and Exclusive Itineraries
AmaWaterways offers a broad range of itineraries, including exclusive sailings on rivers like the Magdalena in Colombia, a first in the river cruise industry. In addition to the classic European rivers (Danube, Rhine, Seine), they also offer cruises in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Egypt. This global diversity of destinations allows AmaWaterways to attract travelers seeking unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
Culinary Excellence
The onboard dining experience is exceptional, with gourmet meals inspired by the regions you visit. AmaWaterways is a member of the prestigious La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, a renowned gastronomic society. From local specialties to multi-course fine dining, every meal is curated to enhance the cultural experience. Complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner, with sparkling wine offered during breakfast. The Chef’s Table restaurant offers a unique dining experience that is included in the fare at no extra cost.
Wellness and Activity Programs
AmaWaterways also distinguishes itself with wellness-focused amenities. Guests can enjoy daily fitness classes like yoga, resistance training, and core workouts led by onboard Wellness Hosts. Additionally, there are complimentary bicycles available at many ports for those who enjoy active exploration. Unlike many other river cruise lines, this active, health-conscious focus appeals to travelers who want to stay fit and engaged during their journey.
Intimate and Personalized Service
AmaWaterways ships are designed with fewer passengers, creating a more intimate atmosphere. This smaller guest capacity allows for higher crew-to-passenger ratios, meaning more personalized service for each guest. The luxurious staterooms, spacious public areas, and attention to detail offer a boutique hotel-style experience on the water.
Included Excursions and Activities
Each cruise offers complimentary shore excursions at every port, with options ranging from immersive cultural experiences to active adventures like guided hiking and biking tours. AmaWaterways also provides unique Special Interest Tours to give guests a deeper connection to the destinations they visit.
Why Choose AmaWaterways?
While other cruise lines like Viking and Avalon focus on similar destinations, AmaWaterways excels in offering more intimate, personalized service, wellness activities, and culinary experiences. Their global reach, active excursions, and luxurious ships make them a standout in the river cruise world.
