Our first river cruise was an enlightening experience. With two ocean cruises in our past, we were skeptical of the significant cost difference between a river and ocean cruise but soon realized you do get what you pay for. Far more intimate service, better food, and attentiveness on excursions. AmaWaterways is top notch and we couldn't say enough positive things about our cruise manager, ...
Our travel agent, who has been assisting us on various vacations over the past twenty years, highly recommended an AMA Waterways river cruise. We sailed on the AmaLyra and had a wonderful time. The ship was beautiful, the staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. The food was fantastic and presented by a very talented wait staff.
The excursions were well thought out and the ...

Our original intent was to see the Normandie Beaches and MT Saint Michel, but we decided to roll it all into one with a river cruise from Paris and the add on post extension. We are glad we did.
To see Paris correctly, one would need a week, but we still got to see the major sights and the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. The cruise also took us to incredible sights of castles, chateaus, gardens, ...

We are just home from our 5th cruise with AMA, and it did not disappoint , We were a group of 40, and I was what AMA called the pied piper. We promoted the cruise with a local French chef here in Portland. Many in the group utilized the AMA pre tour in Paris, and a large group went on the post tour to Barcelona. All in all the cruise was equal to, or better than any of our previous sailings. ...

My friend and I shared a room (two twin beds) for the week cruise and had a terrific time.
We spent the first night in Bordeaux at the InterContinental Hotel and boarded the ship the next day. The Hotel is fabulous!
Our quarters were small for two people, but we managed. We were on the top floor and with the "balcony" which was not really a balcony, just a nice window that could be ...

This was our first time on AmaWaterways and we were very impressed! The AmaSiena is a beautiful ship, with a great crew. The food was excellent from breakfast, to lunch to dinner. Our cruise on the Rhine included a pre-cruise in Zurich and Lucerne. Zurich is nothing special but Lucerne is not to be missed. Highlights included the Riquewihr excursion, Strasbourg, the Rhine Gorge, Rüdesheim and ...

We chose this cruise because I have always loved France and this trip did not disappoint. We flew directly into Nice and we were greeted by a representative from AmaWaterways as soon as we got through baggage claim. A driver took us directly to the hotel and our Cruise Manager, Heloise, was at the hotel to check us in. She was with us for the entire trip and was amazing. We had a welcome reception ...

We chose the Rhine river cruise with AMA for the castle viewing and the active shore excursions. Every activity was perfectly curated. The smaller group size, only 130 on board our sailing, made for manageable excursions in small groups. Every location had charm and many activities that interested us. We got lucky and had perfect sailing weather the morning of castle viewing as we sailed by. Bar ...

I was traveling solo, and familiar with Viking Cruises. In contrast with Viking, Ama offers 50% single supplement rooms, one or two per ship. This made the cruise substantially more affordable than the same cruise on Viking or Tauck would've been for me (at 100% single supplement charge).
There were a few advantages on this cruise over my previous Viking experience. Fitness was an important ...

Our AAA travel agent recommended AMA Waterways especially after we said we wanted active excursion options. We took advantage of that by going on 3 bike tours which were all great.
The food was better than expected: there were no cafeteria lines only individual choices off of menus. The ship was very new and nice. Our room was nicely appointed and engineered with no wasted space and ...
