Why AmaWaterways Shipboard Credit Is Pure Cash Savings
Because AmaWaterways already includes daily shore excursions, fine wine and beer at meals, The Chef's Table, and the daily Sip & Sail Cocktail Hour, guests often ask what they can spend up to $300 in Signature Shipboard Credit on—and the answer is awesome: you can apply onboard credit directly toward onboard Cruise Manager and crew gratuities, restorative massages after cycling tours, laundry service, or top-shelf cocktails outside Sip & Sail hours!
Reservation must have been deposited directly with AmaWaterways within the past 30 calendar days and must NOT be paid in full.
We compare AmaWaterways AirPlus fixed-rate Business/Premium Economy airfare against direct airline fares from your home airport so you never overpay.

Why Savvy River Cruisers Let Us Compare Cruise-Line Hotel Extensions vs. Private VIP Stays
Cruise lines frequently charge per-person rates for pre-cruise hotel extensions—meaning two guests in one room can end up paying $950 to $1,300 per night! Once we take over your AmaWaterways reservation, we compare AmaWaterways' official extension (which nicely includes your Cruise Manager and luggage transfers) against booking that exact same 5-star hotel in Amsterdam, Zurich, Prague, or Budapest through Signature Hotels & Resorts with daily breakfast, $100 credit, and private Mercedes transfers—often saving you $600+ while upgrading your room!
