Chose because this line had such good ratings and rankings. After one week on the Christmas market cruise we saw why. Completely blown away by every aspect of this ship and cruise. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and they take all the stress out of everything. Their pace especially with the excursions is so relaxing. They even provide "gentle tour" for those that prefer a slower pace.The ...

We chose AMA Waterways based on reviews from friends and a travel advisor who indicated that it was a step up from competitors. We had a lovely trip and very much enjoyed the AMAWaterways experience (apart from item #2, below). We found the staff to be thoughtful, efficient and fun and the journey was very well organized. We’ll also share a couple of suggestions that we included in our ...

Enchanting Rhine Cruise

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

When we cruised the Danube on the AmaDolce it was one of the best trips we've ever taken. We knew we wanted to experience another river cruise and after much research we chose the Rhine. These two cruises are very different however, and what we loved about the Danube was not always present on the Rhine (plenty of time to enjoy the port cities for example). Despite the differences, we thoroughly ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was our first river cruise and it was fantastic. The ship was clean and the amenities were wonderful. The staff were helpful and friendly. We are looking at doing this again with Ama for their cruise in Portugal. We would highly recommend this cruise line. We were on the cruise as part of Backroads bicyling adventures. Ama accomodated our needs to get off the ship to travel the Rhine on ...

This is the first time I had been on a cruise of any kind. The ship was clean and comfortable the cabin well appointed. I had an issue with the television but when reported this was sorted in no time.The food was exceptional and available most of the day. We did not take part in the entertainment but I understand from other passengers that this was good. The sevice on board was very good and ...

Our recent cruise on the Sonata was incredible from start to finish. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation with a beautiful itinerary, then this is the cruise to take. If you go in expecting high energy like a large cruise liner, you will be disappointed. It' important that you know what to expect. Pros - Fast & easy embarkation & disembarkation - took only minutes. Cabins ...

We wanted something different after 35 ocean cruises. We got a good offer on this cruise so decided to try it. We were not disappointed. If you have never been, you NEED to go. From embarkation (if you even call it that). It was more like welcome aboard. No line ups, no waiting, It is a different type of vacation. No buffet, not endless amounts of food. This cruise is really about seeing ...

We hadn't planned on a cruise when we started planning our vacation but heard very favorable things about the Rhine cruise thought we would look into it. I have to say, one of the most wonderful vacations we have ever had. First of all I have to say that our Cruise Manager, Florentine is an asset to Amawaterways. The compassion this man had for some of the passengers was wonderful to watch. He ...

Amawaterways Sonata Rhine River Cruise vs. Ocean Cruises Recently made the journey from Amsterdam to Breslo, Switzerland on Amawaterways Sonata. Having only been on ocean cruises (SilverSeas), I have added some comparisons between the two. Hope you like it! Cruise Dates – We boarded on a Saturday afternoon and did not sail until Sunday afternoon. This is different from the ocean cruises, ...
