My wife & I choose this cruise for the Medieval Castles and to see 3 country's we haven't been to. I would like to compliment the AMACERTO for the wonderful accommodations and the ships crew for being the best in what they do. Milan Miletic our cruise manager was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. The chef and staff were amazing and loved every meal we had. The head waiter was very ...

We wanted to try a different river cruise line and selected Ama, sailing on the AmaCerto from Basel to Amsterdam. The crew really made the cruise special. They were very accommodating, and always placed guest enjoyment as their top priority. They were quick to learn our names and our meal preferences. Speaking of meals, the food was wonderful. Ama ships also have an included specialty ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We flew to Basel in Switzerland and stayed overnight at the Hotel de Trois Rois, with a transfer arranged by AMA. Basel is a nice place and the hotel was of a very high quality. The next day we joined the boat and sailed to Strasbourg. It was very busy, but an interesting city to visit. Our guide was excellent. He really took the time to explain the astronomical clock in the cathedral to us and ...

We chose this river cruise as a gift for my son for graduating High School. You might be asking, why would we chose a cruise that traditionally is geared towards older people for such a young man. I had cruised with this company before. The value for the price is excellent. The excursions are wonderful and full of information, history, beauty. Something new every day. I wanted my son to see a new ...

The Best Cruise Line I Never Heard Of

Until recently, I had never even heard of Ama Waterways. I have cruised often on the mainline ocean cruises. This year we decided to try out first river cruise. My first thought was Viking. It's really the only river cruise line that came to mind. However, once I started looking into trip details and prices, I ran across information about Ama Waterways. The price difference was substantial. But ...

I took a group of 26 people on the Enchanting Rhine itinerary. I had sailed this itinerary 4 years ago on Viking and was interested in the difference between the two. Behind the scenes my contact in the groups department set up our group in the Chef's Table for the night I wanted and it was only us which was nice. Check-in was very easy and organized. Our sailing had about 130 passengers. ...

A group of us from church went on this cruise Basel to A-Dam on the AMA Certo and it was great! My wife and I began with 2 days in Zurich followed by 2 in Lucerne Switzerland. Highlights beside the Hotels were the excursions to Rhine Falls and then Mt. Pilatus. The cog railway up the mountain was a corker,45-48 % grade in spots. The river boat is beautiful and the crew is outstanding. We had ...

I have cruised with AMA Waterways before on the Danube two years ago. The food, accommodation, excursions, rooms are all excellent. Complimentary wine of a high standard flows freely at meal times and the staff - who are AMA Waterways best asset - are absolutely incredible. They can not do enough to help you and make sure that your cruise is pleasant. This cruise was downstream from Basel to ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This cruise line was recommended by our travel agent and it lived up to our expectations. The ship was immaculate. The staterooms were comfortable and all the amenities were superb. Having a computer in the room was very nice, but internet access could be spotty. The staff went out of their way to clean the room quickly and conveniently. We went to breakfast and the room was clean upon our ...

Our travel agent suggested AMA Waterways for our first river cruise. We selected cruising from Basel to Amsterdam with the pre-cruise option that included tours of Zurich, Lucerne and Basel. We pre-paid for AMA transfer from the Zurich airport, but it appeared that hiring a taxi on your own would have been easy. You will need Swiss francs. At our hotel, we were met by our excellent Cruise ...
