Why AMA Waterways?

As a family owned and operated company, AMA provides a culture that retains on board employees year after year. This means guests will receive consistent, exceptional service. AMA just received 5 Travvy Awards including Best River Cruise Line in Europe, and Best River Cruise Line Overall.

AMA understands wine. Stewards have a knowledge of local and New World Wine and servers know how to pour it, and chefs know how to create dishes that complement wine.

All river cruise ships are the same dimension because the ships must fit in the locks. You can get a feel for how spacious a ship feels by how many passengers are on board. At about 164 passengers, AMA ships provide spacious, elegant staterooms and comfortable public spaces.

The great benefit of a wine cruise is there is no additional charge for the wine experience on AMA Waterways Celebration of Wine cruises. Wine lovers get a big bonus feature on a wine cruise.

Standard Shore excursions, led by English speaking guides are included in the cost of the cruise. Experience the very best history, art, cuisine, and culture in every port. Choose from gentle, regular, and active tours, or explore on your own.
