Oceans take you to countries; rivers take you through them. River cruising is without a doubt, the most relaxing way to travel. Unpack your bags once, and experience and take it all in. Sail between grand capitals and charming villages as your intimate ship docks in the heart of destinations often unreachable by ocean liners.
“Ama shattered all of our misconceptions about river cruising. We loved our spacious stateroom, the dining options and the delicious food. There was so much to do every day; I never even cracked open the book I brought to read.”
- Becky T.

What are the most popular rivers for river cruising?
Danube and Rhine are the most popular rivers, and they are great for groups! But for the Danube and Rhine, stay away from September, the busiest month on the river and busiest time in Europe!
Good options are available for spring into early summer - March, April, May. This is when shoulder pricing is available.
Are the prices for AmaWaterways more expensive than Viking, Avalon and others?
The price for AMA might be higher, but for good reason!
Viking and Avalon - might include one walking tour a day, that's it! Anything else, you have to pay for.
AMA includes castle tours, wine tastings, bike rides, etc. - All included in the pricing.
Also, premium wines are not included on Viking and Avalon, but they are on AMA.
We have heard this from several people, and one of our local guides mentioned that AmaWaterways usually gets the best parking spots / boat slips at each port. Some are right next to the heart of the cities and others require a short luxury bus ride. On our cruise we got the closest boat slots available, which allows you to enter the city with ease.
What is the Chef's Table Experience?
Watch as expert chefs chop, sear, drizzle
and meticulously plate a multi-course
tasting menu served with hand-selected
regional and local wine.
Do all the ships have the Nordic walking sticks now?
Yes, all ships should have walking sticks, but quantity is limited.
We have a small group of people getting ready for a cruise. Do we need to book the shore excursions in advance or is it best to select them on the ship?
It’s helpful for Ama to have a rough estimate of who is doing what ahead of time. They aren't locked into their selected excursions and are welcome to change their mind once onboard if there's room in another group.
They usually put out colored tickets depending on excursions offered the morning of. AMA also is one of the only ones who offer “gentle walkers”’ tours for those who can’t quite keep up (pink tickets) the same tours but not as much walking.
Does AMA not have a drink package you can buy on board? I know that beer and wine are included with meals, free happy hours, and excursions, but I just boarded today and when I asked about purchasing one, staff indicated it wasn’t a thing that is usually offered except for groups that are booked. I haven’t traveled AMA for a few years but know that Viking offers a “silver spirits” all inclusive drinks.
Honestly you don’t need a drink package. Between lunch, happy hour and dinner, and excursions, you don’t need one. And drink prices are actually quite reasonable.
No, You pay as you drink outside of meal times and the Sip and Sail cocktail. Honestly, we are big drinkers and did not spend much extra money on alcohol.
On our first Ama cruise a few years ago, the only charge was a camera battery! Even postcards and stamps are free!
The largest AMA suite in the inventory can hold a max of 4 correct?
Yes, 4 people.
Are there golf cruises?
Yes, check out AmaMagna’s Exclusive CONCIERGE GOLF PROGRAM
Can anyone under 18 do their own excursions?
No, technically. On Ama anyone under 18 has to be supervised by an adult they are traveling with at all times.
Is there any way to get Ama brochures, magazines, catalogs, or other printed items?
Yes, you can use their online order form.
What can you expect with AMA?
You will love every minute of it! AMA makes everything easy for guests, they think of everything to make guests comfortable and happy!
AMA treats guests like royalty, and respectfully every time. Everything is done on an exceptional basis.
Land trips are planned well to meet varying mobility needs, food is always delicious - featuring local flavors and other more friendly options are always available.
They manage gluten and dairy free diets well. The staff is friendly and accommodating and hospitality is exceptional.
Laundry service, especially for longer cruises, works out great.
Rooms are comfortable, cleaned daily, and works out perfectly while you're out on excursions.
Shower in the bathroom never lost pressure, the temperature was steady. Trust and safety were at the forefront. The captains are amazing, and really picked for their care and heart for the company and the guests.
You have an opportunity to eat at the captains table and served beautiful courses.
River cruises are really preferred over larger cruises as there are more opportunities to get to know other guests and it's more relaxing all around!
Can they handle all abilities, handicap accessibility and other options on the ship and excursions?
Ama has something for people of all abilities. They offer biking, hiking, walking, gentle land excursions, and more. Many guests never forget their trip managers, who stay close by, offer assistance when needed, and guide you through our land extensions and excursions!
Are there laundry facilities on board?
On the AmaMagna there is self-service laundry. On all of the other ships, you can send your laundry out for cleaning. Pricing is reasonable and we have found the service to be very quick! The laundry service is quick. Most often it is the same day!
Do the ships have clothes irons in the cabins or not? If not, what is the process to get something ironed?
This is just like an ocean cruise, if you need something pressed you can tell your room steward and they will take care of it for you!
What are the top 3 things to bring with you?
A cork
screw and
bottle
stopper for
any wine
you might
like to try. A portable battery
charger and
two-pronged
adapter (to
accommodate
the European
outlets on
board) for
your mobile
phone, tablet and
e-reader devices. Bubble
wrap for
packing
cherished
souvenirs
and gifts,
of which
you'll find
many!
The Rhine and Danube are the most popular river cruising options.
The Rhine is a great option as the most classic river voyage and
it’s a popular first choice for those who are new to river cruising.
You will see castles
along the Romantic or Middle
Rhine (as the section between
Koblenz and Rüdesheim, Germany
is called), along with riverside
wine-growing villages with halftimbered
houses and some of
Europe’s loveliest cities along the
way, among them Strasbourg,
Heidelberg and Amsterdam.
The Danube -
Nuremberg to Budapest
The classic Danube, is the stretch of river from
Nuremberg or Vilshofen
in Bavaria to Budapest. This takes in the UNESCO designated
Wachau Valley with
its picturesque riverside towns, as
well as three capital cities: Vienna,
Austria; Bratislava, Slovakia and
Budapest, Hungary.
The Dutch Waterways
A springtime cruise along
the waterways of the Netherlands
and Belgium is the perfect way to
see one of the world’s most famous
flower cultivation areas in glorious
bloom. But the dazzling floral
displays of the legendary Keukenhof
Gardens are only one attraction, as
you’ll also explore medieval Bruges,
Antwerp and Amsterdam, where
cruises start and finish.
Germany’s Main
Germany’s most
spectacular medieval cities lie
along the Main’s marshy banks and
are the principal reasons to come
here: Miltenberg is straight out of a
Grimm’s Fairy Tale, while Bamberg’s
wobbly half-timbered town hall
perches on an island.
Bamberg is a gem
of an old town, with crooked halftimbered
buildings and ancient
cobbled squares. Join a walking tour,
but duck into a pub at the end to
sample the local specialty, smoked
beer. Many consider this an acquired
taste, but when in Bamberg do as
the locals do. Miltenberg is another
medieval town and a good guide
will give you all the lurid details of
day-to-day life in the Middle Ages.
Germany’s Moselle
The Moselle is one of
Europe’s most beautiful rivers and
also one of the biggest surprises.
It’s not all that well known, and
itineraries are more typically part
of other routes, like the Rhine,
but wow oh wow. It’s amazing.
Your ship will pass a patchwork of
vineyards clinging to impossibly
sheer-sided hills, interspersed
with dense forest, while exquisite
little towns sit along the banks,
overlooked by towering castles.
One cool thing: Cochem isn’t just
known for its wine — the town
enjoys the unusual distinction of
having the world’s oldest mustard
mill, now a museum, although still
churning out the mustard, which
you’ll see in shops all over town.
France’s Rhône
Why go? The Rhône flows through
the loveliest areas of Southern
France. In a week, a voyage visits
Lyon, an elegant city famed for
its culinary culture; Avignon, the
setting of the iconic Popes’ Palace;
and Arles, the scenery which
inspired Vincent van Gogh.
Top tips: Lavender season is
between June and early August.
If you like cycling, there are flat
trails with beautiful views along the
Rhône, passing sleepy villages and
water meadows. Take the steam
train from Tournon; the forested
limestone cliffs and gorges are
magnificent and at the top, where
the train turns around, locals sell the
most delicious peaches and plums
from little stalls.
Why should your clients sail the Best of Holland & Belgium itinerary with AmaWaterways?
For someone who has sailed both, we can tell you the main differences between Viking and Amawaterways. These are the main things that keep us coming back to Ama as opposed to other lines.
#1, look at the awards! Each year, AmaWaterways is the most awarded river cruise company in the world. Some of their recent awards:
There are so many details included with Ama that are not found with Viking. From the care of the staff, to the design of the ship, to the amount of time you get to spend with the ship captain that aren't to the same level with Viking.
Viking is more “entry level”. Viking spends tons of money on marketing in the US. They have a good product - if you don’t know about the next level up. The food on Viking was not to the same level as AMA. AMA is steps above with quality. Viking is less expensive, but their programs are not cheap, just not as good as AMA.
Viking has many more guests on the same size ship, so their cabins are smaller and it's more difficult for the staff to serve everyone.
Ama has more options for excursions. Bikes. Food quality is better. Fewer guests, sip and sail. Pool. Hot tub. Viking typically has larger boats and more people.
Ama has more options for excursions, and more included excursions in the price of the cruise. Pool and hot tub is a big selling point. Some ships have a swim up bar.
Ama offers a special chefs table dinner (once per person per cruise).
There is more alcohol included standard on Ama (including daily cocktail hours). The alcohol included is higher quality / top shelf compared to Viking.

As an example of what it looks like on a river cruise, take the 7-night Danube Serenade. This begins in Nuremberg,
Germany, rich with World War II history and absolutely beautiful in the fall. On board, you’ll feel the warmth of
Ama's welcoming staff and crew as you admire festive harvest décor throughout the ship. And ashore, you’ll savor
traditional Bavarian specialties like fresh-baked pretzels and sausage, as well as Wachau Valley Rieslings. Plus,
you’ll hike to storied castles, and, my personal favorite, take guided biking excursions through cobbled city centers
with architecture that spans the centuries. The cruise concludes in Vienna, where Ama's President & Co-owner
Rudi Schreiner spent his childhood.
Millions of travelers flock to the mighty
Danube River every year—
but have you ever wondered why?
Europe’s second largest waterway
connects Central and Eastern Europe,
flowing over 1,700 miles through ten
countries—that’s more nations than any
other river in the world. The Danube
has had a front-row seat to some of
Europe’s most significant moments in
history and is home to four glittering
capitals: Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava
and Belgrade.
The millions that live here take pride
in the Danube’s history and everlasting
allure. And so, once a year, the countries
of the Danube get together to participate
in a multi-nation celebration of this
magnificent river. Partygoers celebrate
with such entertainment as cook-offs,
live music, photo competitions, delicious
food, horse riding and archery. These
celebrations are always a fun, festive
way to enjoy time with friends and
family and feel connected to both local
communities and those across borders.
The Danube has inspired artists (as
well as gourmet lovers and oenophiles)
throughout the centuries. Beethoven,
Mozart and Gustav Klimt were all
either born here or drawn to the
region as famous for its culture as its
mouthwatering Riesling wines and
Sachertorte cakes.
Leaves of crimson, gold and fiery
orange line Europe’s rivers, showcasing
spectacular autumn foliage. Though
recently plucked clean from the fall
harvest, sun-kissed vineyards beckon
with new wines, just recently matured.
Hear the crunch of leaves beneath your
feet on storied paths to hilltop castles
and savor the crispness of milder
weather from your complimentary
bike as the cool breeze playfully dances
across your cheeks.
In addition to the beauty and romance
of the season, fall brings with it
reduced airfare and less crowds that
make AmaWaterways’ memorable
itineraries even more enticing!
Perhaps the most alluring of our autumn sailings are our Wine Cruises,
which offer unforgettable epicurean adventures. Discover timeless
winemaking traditions in villages that have been growing grapes for
centuries. Among others, choose from Austria’s UNESCO-designated
Wachau Valley, France’s celebrated Bordeaux region and the Douro
Valley in Portugal and Spain—the oldest demarcated wine region in
the world.
Descend to candlelit underground cellars and sip wines among the
very casks in which they matured, pedal through vineyards and enjoy
the wine tasting and pairing guidance of a dedicated Wine Host along
the way.
The tantalizing aromas of gingerbread and roasted almonds will make your mouth water blocks from the dazzling light displays that
characterize Europe’s celebrated Christmas Markets. Wander through stall after stall brimming with colorful handicrafts. Wrap your
hands around a warm mug of cocoa or spiced gluehwein as you revel in the magic and wonder of the holiday season. And on board,
delight in the elegant décor, joyous Christmas carols and whimsical traditions of AmaWaterways’ Christmas Markets cruises.
Among the stops during our Iconic Christmas Markets and Magical Christmas Markets Danube cruises are Nuremberg’s
Christkindlesmarkt, one of the largest and most famous in Europe, as well as Vienna’s celebrated markets on the Ringstrasse and at
the illuminated Rathaus.
And on the Christmas Markets on the Rhine cruise, you’ll have a chance to try Kölsch beer and Reibekuchen potato pancakes at
Cologne’s enchanting Christmas Market, a Rüdesheimer coffee at Rüdesheim’s intimate market, and sizzling crepes at Strasbourg’s
Christkindelsmärik.
Amid the warmth of harvest décor on board, you’ll find a traditional Thanksgiving feast. In addition to our Founders’ Cruises, there are a handful of appealing departures on the river for this festive holiday. Whether you and your relatives seek a more relaxing holiday this year, or you find yourself without local family, check our Cruise Finder for sailings taking place over November 22nd!
