2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

Live in NY and went with my wife, mother-in-law for her 80th and her first cousin. Heard good things about AMA from a co-worker. We wanted a higher end experience but a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and really only saw Viking advertised until we started looking. We did 2 nights in Zurich and 2 in Lucerne before departing out of Basel. From meeting Pau, our cruise manager, day one to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 recently returned from the most fabulous cruise on the AMASonata down the Rhine were the views were breathtaking. It goes without saying Mr.Bojan Randjelovic, our Cruise Manager is the most organized gentleman we had the pleasure to meet. The Chef and wait staff are all very professional and knowledgeable on what they are preparing and serving. The food and local wines were outstanding. ...

Our travel agent booked our entire vacation, We felt our trip with AmaWaterways was very close to a Five star vacation. On board ship all our needs were met. The staff on the AmaSonata were superb. The dinning room staff and chefs were outstanding, meeting all our dietary needs. The three in our group enjoyed the many different dishes our chef prepared and all the delicious breads that were ...
