Magical Time on AmaMagna

Review for AmaMagna to Europe - River Cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

When researching our first cruise, we wanted something that was kid friendly, and the first cruise ship that came up was the AmaMagna, and after seeing that they had Christmas Market cruises, we knew this was the one for us to choose. We didn’t know all of the perks offered, but after having cruised AmaWaterways, we will utilize them all in the future. Pros: * The AmaMagna is amazing. Tons ...

My wife and I cruised with Ama on the Rhine a few years ago and had a great experience. We booked this most recent cruise without hesitation. It turns out that perhaps we should have hesitated as dealing with Ama prior to the cruise was a struggle and the actual cruise experience was very disappointing. Let me start by saying we booked our cruise in 2020 however due to Covid we delayed the ...

We chose this cruise because others told us AMA Waterways was good. Not so much. Food was the worst. When I addressed this with the head chef and his manager, I was told that corporate sent pictures of the food to be presented and they could not change anything. It was obvious that they were more interested in offering excuses than seeking easy problem resolutions. The food and menu gave one ...

We booked a Danube Christmas river cruise, along with another couple, on the AMABella on 2/11/20, departing Budapest on 12/5/22. We took advantage of a cabin upgrade offer and were both booked in AA class cabins. We heard nothing further from Amawaterways (except confirmation of our final payment) until we boarded 12/5/22. Before heading to the ship on 12/5/22 we were told by another passenger ...

My sister and I had talked about taking a river cruise like this to see the Christmas Markets in western Europe for a number of years and we finally turned "someday" into December, 2022! To say it was an OUTSTANDING trip for us is an understatement! AMA delivered a great experience for us and exceeded ALL of our expectations. The ship was beautifully decorated for Christmas, we had a very ...

This was our first river cruise. We chose it to visit the famous German Christmas markets. The ship looked almost new, having been 'dry docked' during the CCP virus. From the first to the last day, I have to say the crew exceeded any expectations we had. Embarkation was fast and efficient, and debarkation was well-organized. I have to give a special shout-out to our Cruise Manager, Marcia. ...

Literally, from the moment our transport from Munich dropped us off right on the dock where AmaMagna was moored in Vilshofen, Germany I was in love. She was so regal and all decked out in her Christmas finery. I was there for an exciting Christmas Market Cruise. I had heard so many wonderful stories about Europe's Christmas Markets that when my travel agent from House of Travel in Lodi, CA said ...

My husband and I just returned from our first river cruise. When deciding what to do for our 25th anniversary celebration we knew it had to be a cruise. We’ve been wanting to do a river cruise for years and since I first heard about AmaWaterways, it captured my heart. My husband knew I would love to see the Christmas markets as this is my favorite time of year, so we booked the Iconic Christmas ...

We have just returned from a wonderful AmaWaterways cruise, departing from Budapest finishing in Nuremberg. This is the second Ama cruise we have been on and both were similar itineraries though in different seasons - our first was in 2018 in the Summer and finished in Vilshofen instead of Nuremberg which we did this time. Luckily, most of the Christmas markets were open too! As most reviewers ...

Not worth the money and disappointed by poor customer service

While the ship was beautifully decorated and the crew was great, we were extremely disappointed with the value for the money that we received. Ama was totally unrelenting in refusing to give us 5, 10 or 20% off to account for the problems with out sailing; not even $1 refund. Chief among them was the the ship stopped at the Bratislava shipyard and only offered one time to get back to the ship. ...
