1-10 of 13 Basel to Europe - River Cruise AmaWaterways AmaPrima Reviews
It was a wonderful cruise but I am bothered by a couple of things. Fourth AMA cruise. One of the pre cruise hotels were awful, horrible stay I am pretty sure bedbug ridden. On my first AMA cruise, people came to dinner like they were going to a country club for dinner. A dress shirt and real pants and the ladies in slacks and a blouse. It was event. Last couple of cruises , people coming to ...

We chose this cruise because AMA made us an offer we could not refuse after they had to change an itinerary due to bridge construction. With discounts and credits available, we chose this trip despite it's stopping in two ports we had earlier visited.
We had been on AmaPrima during its inaugural season and I found myself looking for signs of wear and tear after I noticed how pristine the ship ...

Sail Date: September 2019
Cabin Type: Stateroom with French balcony and outside balcony
Wanted to take a Christmas Market Cruise through central Europe, stopping at various cities and markets along the way. We weren't aware until a couple weeks before sailing that many major rivers in Europe were experiencing RECORD drought and thus very low water levels in rivers. This almost meant our itin. would be severely changed or curtailed for obvious reasons. The previous 3 months of ...
After cruising on the Danube with AMA (chosen based on specific itinerary), we went with Avalon for a cruise in Holland/Belgium (also based on specific itinerary). In comparing the two, we realized that we enjoyed AMA much better and after thinking about why we decided AMA had a much wider range of everything - more varied excursions, more varied food (such as local receipes) and more active ...
Where do we start, Amazing trip/experience with AMA? Using our travel agent /AMA we added 1 night in Zurich, 2 nights in Basel at the beginning and 2 more nights in Amsterdam at the end of our cruise. The experience on the AMA Prima was 2nd to none, from receiving our ‘Booking Summary” and reviewing it, we felt this trip was going to be special. Then checking into our 1st hotel, ...
Family recommended the Amawaterways cruise company . We couldn’t of had a better trip. The ship was in excellent condition from brass bell down to the on board bikes to take ashore . We were wowed by the crew especially the cruise manager “Marcia”. The food was excellent and suited all types of tastes and appetites along with the abundant poured wines paired with all the meals .(except breakfast ...
We started our journey two days prior to our 10 night cruise on the AMAPrima by acclimating to the time change (9 hour time difference from CA) in Zurich, something we highly recommend regardless of your starting disembarkation point. Get acclimated to the time change then hit the cruise. The train from Zurich to Basel took us through the heart of Zurich to the pastoral countryside on the way to ...
I did the Rhine/Christmas markets cruise over Christmas 2017. This was my second AMA cruise and I was a bit disappointed.
First, the staff was, for the most part, very good. It was clear they all had a touch of "senior-itis", this being their last cruise of the season and they were all going home soon. Still the bar staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff seemed to be in a ...
I chose this cruise line mostly because of the reviews I had read here and the cruise center I went to for information said they were excellent.
The first step onto the ship I knew it wasn't for me. I didn't feel the warmth, the welcome or the excitement I had experienced on the ocean cruises. That being said we did put down a deposit for another cruise with Amawaterways within the next ...
We had the 4 day extension in Switzerland before our cruise on the Rhine. This was such a wonderful experience. The accommodations in Switzerland and on the ship were really very nice. The food and the service on the cruise were excellent. There wasn't anything they didn't think to provide and everyone was so very friendly and helpful. We honestly wouldn't have changed anything. The food was ...
