Rhine River

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

dkhinrich
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We selected this cruise as it was part of a package being offered by a local travel agent. It was the first cruise of any type for me and I was very pleased with the experience. The ship itself exceeded my expectations and the staff was top notch. Our cruise director, Luis, was excellent and worked hard to make sure the passengers were happy and well cared for. There were multiple tour options ...

Best Vacation I've Been On in Years!

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

My financial advisor told me I needed a vacation. How crazy is that? I have visited Europe numerous times and knew I wanted to go on a Christmas Markets river cruise. My travel agent found this one. This was my first experience with AmaWaterways, and it was outstanding. My cabin was lovely and quiet and was cleaned thoroughly and in a flash each morning while I was at breakfast. The food was ...

Rain all week but an outstanding crew made all the difference!

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Out travel agent recommended this cruise and AMA waterways. Best pick ever. Our crew was fantastic and the highlight was our cruise director Edward. He was truly a outstanding and caring person who made sure everyone was having fun and fixed everything before it could go wrong. It rained and was cold but we had a ball! The crowd was older 60-70’s but there’s plenty to do and each stop was ...

Superior Service

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

Sandi Barrett
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

This was a Rhine wine cruise and we sailed with another couple. We had Juliet balcony suites that were, for a cruise ship, roomy. Everything is included in this package, so need to worry about drinks during lunch or dinner, excursions are included, special dining, cocktail hour, and all meals and snacks. The crew was pleasant, thoughtful, and attentive. The cleaning staff was discrete and ...

Trip of a lifetime

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

Pattiray
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was my first River Cruise. Stayed in Zurich one night before trip and took the train to Basel for embarkation. Wonderful crew that was always ready to help , cruise director was always on top of everything, the excursions were planned very well and went smoothly. We were in a deluxe cabin (AA) and the room was very nice. Cabin did have strange smell at certain times. Not sure why. Food ...

Beautiful Ship, Service was Lacking

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

kenny654
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This cruise was a classical-music themed charter, sailing from Amsterdam to Basel. Having sailed on a river cruise before with another company, I had a good idea of what to expect. The AmaSerena crew certainly lived up to expectations in terms of service at the front desk, housekeeping service in the cabins, and the all-important role of the Cruise Director -- Bojan did a marvellous job of ...

Nice, but not our style

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

surelyacollectible
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

The travel agent selected this Rhine cruise on AMA Serena. It was expensive ($10,00) for our cabin, but it included 2-3 tours in each port, all the wine you could drink, and delightful staff. However, the meals were not memorable (better food on the plane), and not all the tours were ones we would enjoy --going to a bar and drinking a local favorite. We decided that those who drink would have ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

quilter74
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We chose AMA upon the suggestion of a well-seasoned travel agent/friend.. This was a once in a lifetime trip and we hoped that it would be almost perfect!! It lived up to our expectation.....from beginning to end! We have experienced ocean cruises, but are sold on river cruises after this experience! We booked the pre/post options along with direct flights-business class. AMAWaterways was ...

Not for the active

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

Proud American
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise to determine if a river cruise was a good fit for us. We have decided that for the money our bet is with the ocean cruises. If you are the type that can sit and enjoy a piano player or read. Then a river cruise is a good fit for you. We consider ourselves to be active and the River cruise just does not have enough activity. As for the rooms we upgraded to a balcony and ...

Great Cruise down the Rhine

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaSerena

Clarinet57
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We cruised on the AmaSerena in July 2019. Our embarkation was very smooth. We were allowed on board early and had a light lunch available. Our room was excellent. We were in room 306 - we had a nice balcony and a very roomy bathroom. The dining experience was excellent. The food was great and plentiful. Plenty of options for a vegetarian in the party. We enjoyed our shore excursions, ...
