The best customer service I have ever experienced
"From the moment we landed in Prague and picked up our luggage, we were met by an AMA representative who helped us get to the shuttle bus taking us to the hotel in Prague (our trip included 3 nights at a beautiful hotel in Prague and a guided tour of the city prior to the cruise) and told us what we could expect.The ship was magnificent but the real standout on this trip was the customer service by the AMA Waterways crew and staff...."Read More

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 have been on many river cruises, mostly with Viking, and they have been very good, but all in all, AmA’s food puts them over the top, and it’s not even close!!! Every single meal was better than anything we have had on other cruise lines!!! Crew was great, and Magna is a great ship, they did Christmas better than any other ship also!! Just look as your going down the river at Christmas, AMA is ...

I am truly impressed with the exceptional services provided by the local tour guides during our recent river cruise. They flawlessly showcased beautiful sights, offered insightful information about the cities, and served delightful meals each day. The entire crew exhibited incredible friendliness and hospitality throughout the trip, making our Christmas experience unforgettable. Surprisingly, this ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose this cruise A. for the Christmas markets and B. for this particular ship. The ship is twice the width as any other river ship and is the largest in Europe. Despite it's double-size, it holds only 30% more passengers, which gives you much more room. The cabins were another deciding factor-they're huge! More than enough room for 2 in the cabin area, a very large bathroom with double ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Great Experience Overall - But Not Perfect

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

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 ...

The AmaMagna is a beautiful vessel and deserves the designation as flagship. The place has a special feeling and is warm and inviting. The excursions were plentiful but somewhat routine - more specialty outings would be welcome. The 4 restaurants were a great feature, seating and availability never an issue, Sadly, the cuisine overall was uninspired while imaginatively presented. It just lacked ...
