This is our 5th cruise with AmaWaterways. This time, on the “doublewide” AmaMagna. This February 18 2024 sailing was one of the first Feb sailings offered by Ama. The ship is amazing, same capacity (198) as a narrower River Cruise ship, but twice as wide. Huge staterooms, 4 eating venues, a library, cinema and wellness studio. The crew, even though only their 2nd cruise together, was totally ...

We cruised on the AmaBella to the Christmas Markets. This was my first river cruise. I have been on over 65 ocean cruises, traveled to 108 countries and all seven continents. I have been cruising since 1980 when I was 18 years old and took my first cruise. The pre-cruise portion with Ama was just ok. We were booked in a standard room at a nice hotel. The cruise portion is where it gets bad. ...

The cruise itself was phenomenal but the staff made it truly special. The crew members were extremely warm and kind. The attention to detail was spot on. There were 3 restaurants on the Amamagna. The food was delicious. There were plenty of options and it was good quality. The app made it easy to keep track of our schedule and we also had a daily itinerary with the times delivered ...

Second time sailing with Amawaterways, and of course it was a delight. The cruise manager made it really special as well as the hotel manager, his staff and the captain and crew. I wish I can name each one of them and thank them individually. Had been in over 15 cruises, but Ama does it differently. Great itinerary, great excursion options, super meals and attention to detail. By the ...

This was our 8th river cruise however the only three were in France on Uniworld and because the other cruises involved small ships there isn’t a good comparison (the Viking Vietnam was outstanding). We chose this because we had never been in Bulgaria or Romania and like wine! Except for Hungary our earlier experiences were in Yugoslavia in the 70’s so nice to see what had changed. Other ...

We stayed at Marriott prior to trip. No one reached out to let us know we were not going on boat due to water level. We happened to reach out concerning transferring luggage. It was that moment that we learned that we wouldn’t board ship. There was a meeting to discuss issue. We were not initially invited. We rushed over and caught end of the meeting. We were lost. First day was a Budapest ...

Extraordinary service and crew and best staterooms on the river

Exceptionally friendly and helpful crew. Shout out to cruise manager Frederico, cabin steward Joysa, and server Robi who all provided exceptional service. Crew members worked extremely hard yet were always smiling. We enjoyed meeting Captain Neils who is a charming and very impressive young man. The SA stateroom was by far the best on a European river. 350 sq. feet with generous storage space ...

Overall we had a great experience on the Danube, but we had a couple of minor complaints that prevent me from calling it a five-star cruise. Staff - the staff were truly 6/5 stars, and would do everything in their capacity to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. The fitness instructor Angie was amazing as well. However, there was always at least one (sometimes up to 6-7) staff smoking in ...

If you are thinking about a river cruise, no need to look further than AMA Waterways and the Magna. The ship is beautiful, service and food are terrific and the Budapest to Vilshofen itinerary is beautiful and intersting. We had an A/B Suite. If traveling as a couple, this is a really good choice as the bath features dual sinks and a seperate toilet. For a river ship, Magna offers a lot of ...

We were on a Winemaker cruise as the hosts. Our previous experience with any cruise were huge ships which both of us disliked. This was so intimate and such a delightful experience! The ship's crew are beyond lovely- attentive, smiling attitudes and always asking to assist us. Our cabin was roomier than expected and we were able to completely unpack and stow luggage away. Bed and pillows ...
