Why Choose AmaWaterways?

All-Inclusive Cruise Prices - A Great Value!
AmaWaterways provides incredible value, from the champagne breakfast and free-flowing hand-selected European wines (as well as beer and soft drinks) with lunch and dinner to a fleet of bicycles, free Internet access, complimentary sightseeing excursions, and live cultural entertainment onboard.

Luxurious & Modern Ships
Since it was founded in 2002 (the company's name was Amadeus Waterways until it was changed to AmaWaterways in 2008), the luxurious river cruise company keeps growing its fleet with state-of-the-art ships, among the best in their class. In fact, their cruise ships are some of the newest doing river cruises in Europe.

There is an Infotainment system in all staterooms, with an available movie and music library and complimentary Internet access. Onboard each ship you'll find bars, lounges (with dance floors and daily entertainment), the Sun Deck, a wellness center, and a beauty salon.

Spacious Accommodations
AmaWaterways cruises offer deluxe accommodations ranging from 160 to 710 sq. ft., with hotel-style beds that can be set up as two twin beds or one large double bed. Most staterooms feature twin balconies, a combination of French and full outside balconies, so you can have an even more stunning panoramic view of the landscape and the option to illuminate your room with more natural sunlight.

Casual, yet Gourmet, Dining
The cuisine served onboard all of the AmaWaterways ships is so excellent that the cruise line got a membership in the internationally recognized La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and Tables et Auberges de France. Headed by executive chef Primus Perchtold, who won three gold medals at the European Championship of Culinary Art, the food aboard AmaWaterways will likely hook you from your first bite. The gourmet offerings, made with fresh Dining on Amadeus Waterways

local ingredients whenever possible, are served in an open seating format, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Try something inspired by the city you just toured, or stick with a traditional Western meal – the choice is yours. Every breakfast is served with sparkling wine and fresh-squeezed juices. Every lunch and dinner includes unlimited hand-picked wine, beer, and soft drinks.

Award-Winning Cruise Line
AmaWaterways has received many prestigious awards and numerous honors.
