Guests may indulge in host-led wellness classes, unwind with a soothing massage, enjoy exquisite cuisine balancing regional dishes and time-honoured favourites, or even take a champagne yoga class or play pickleball on the spacious Sun Deck of AmaMagna! Everything, from the activities and entertainment provided, to the ships themselves, has been meticulously designed to ensure that AmaWaterways offers the best of what river cruising is.

Whichever itinerary or ship you choose; everything will be taken care of. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner is included, and each dish is prepared with care using only the freshest ingredients. Locally sourced from the regions being cruised through, this allows the chefs to create unique and regionally inspired cuisine. In addition, guests may indulge in the complimentary, unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks during lunch and dinner; wine, beer and spirits during the daily Sip & Sail cocktail hour; and sparkling wine and fresh-squeezed juices during breakfast.

The river cruise experience with the variety of shore excursions is a remarkable way to experience a country or region, but the thoughtful crew is what makes it truly special. AmaWaterways is regarded as the leader in river cruising not only due to its innovative ship design and focus on wellness, but because the company’s careful and bespoke attention to detail goes above and beyond, making the guests feel safe and calm.

From the moment a guest joins an AmaWaterways journey, they are accompanied by a Cruise Manager throughout their river cruise and pre-or post-cruise land package to ensure they have the most memorable experience. AmaWaterways’ multi-talented Cruise Managers provide a range of guest services including daily excursion briefings outlining the next day’s destination and choice of activities, coordinating communications between the ship and tour guides and coaches to make sure everything runs smoothly, offering insider information on destinations, shopping and restaurants, and so much more.

“Ama,” which means “love,” is what the company’s employees and crew put into everything they do. They aim to make a positive impact on the world through their commitment to celebrating diversity, giving back to local communities and reducing their environmental impact. Bringing together people of different backgrounds and helping them discover and better understand new cultures and traditions, one river at a time, ensures travel remains a force of good in the world.
