Have traveled on a few large ocean ships so wanted to try a riverboat for comparison. A friend asked me to join a group of 15 on this Danube adventure. I knew little about the countries on the route but was game to go along. We added 3 days prior and after week cruise in Bucharest and Budapest, respectively. The countries visited were pretty depressing as still suffering from communist control ...
We chose this particular itinerary as a "Bucket List"/ retirement trip. We did a pre-cruise extension in Vienna and a post-cruise extension in Romania. Our cruise manager, Christian Abker, made sure every detail was taken care of perfectly. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. The crew and staff were very professional, attentive and engaging. Our cabin was spacious, bright and very ...
I was part of an alumni group of 19 people who sailed together. The pre-cruise package in Prague was attended by all but two of our participants. That add-on was worth it and the quality of the Prague Intercontinental Hotel and Czech Republic tours was well worth it.
The water level on the Danube was low so we were not able to embarkation was moved from Nuremberg to Vilshofen. The embarkation ...
We had a perfect family trip with AMA Waterways on the AMA Certo. We traveled with my 3 teenage daughters ages 18,16 and 15. Two of the girls shared cabin 109, my oldest had cabin 111 to herself (both category D) and my husband and I treated ourselves to a cabin with a French balcony 226, category C. The cabins are lovely, well decorated and with room to store all your necessities. The ...
We choose this ship for the itinerary , 14 days from Bucharest to Nuremberg. The ship was splendid and the staff was excellent especially the cruise managers ( Florentin and Boyan) and the purser and his assistant ( Nema and Nicholas). Only 17 people stayed for both cruises and we enjoyed both parts even if the weather was better the first week. All excursions were wonderful especially the ...
We have river cruised twice previously (Rhine and Rhone) on another river cruise line and were just looking for a change. Our Travel Agent recommended AMAWaterways based on the excellent reviews and feedback she had received from previous clients. We trained from Frankfurt to Nuremburg and traveling in 1st class with large suitcases is no picnic, since there wasn't anywhere to store the larger ...
My wife and I have done around 25 cruises. We have never had the level of service provided on this cruise.
We spent a few nights in Prague before boarding the ship. Highly recommend doing this. Its a beautiful city. We also added days at the end in Budapest. Very nice cities. The tours that AmaWaterways provided in both cities were very helpful in orienting us to the city. Plus the tours had ...
A friend chose this cruise based on the ports. I could not have been happier with the ship, tours, food, and service. Everything was well taken care of. The food never felt mass produced as it often does on a big ship. It felt like each meal was made specially for me. Our waiters (Agus and Constantine) and bartender (Carmen) made us feel like we were their only guests. There were 6 in my group - ...
I have been travelling for over 25 years on ocean cruises, so I carefully selected AMA, it was the best experience I have ever had. The crew on this ship from the Captain down are the very best you could find 5 star every cruise member , the food is fantastic, the service is perfect, the cabins are beautiful when every crew member makes you feel special to them, you have a first class experience. ...
Our family of 8 went on the Christmas Market Cruise in December 2017. We were impressed with the AmaCerto boat because it was very clean, modernized, had a nice floor-plan, and the rooms were really clean and nicely laid out (albeit small).
The staff is highly trained and it is clear they have very high standards of service. We loved our wait staff and felt a if they cared about giving us the ...
