A staff-to-guest ratio of 1:3 ensures that you will receive personalized service from the time you book your cruise to the moment you head for home, especially since you’ll have the same Cruise Manager while you’re onboard and during your excursions. As soon as you step aboard, you’re sure to feel like a member of the family. Don’t be surprised if you wake up to a morning cup of coffee made especially for you or if one of the bartenders remember just how you like your martini!

Deluxe staterooms are 170 square feet, with hotel-style beds that can be set up as two twin beds or one large double bed. Junior suites are extra spacious at 255 square feet. The majority of staterooms feature twin balconies, which are combination French and full outside balconies so that you can have an even more stunning panoramic view of the landscape as well as the option to illuminate your room with more natural sunlight.

Casual, yet Gourmet, Dining Options

The cuisine served onboard all of the AmaWaterways ships is so excellent that they were invited to become a member of La Chaine des Rotisseurs. Headed by executive chef Primus Perchtold, who won three gold medals at the European Championship of Culinary Art, the food aboard AmaWaterways is certain to hook you from your first bite. The gourmet offerings, made with fresh local ingredients whenever possible, are served in an open seating format, making for a relaxed atmosphere. Try something inspired from the city you just toured or stick with a traditional Western meal – the choice is yours. Quality wines (included with every dinner) are served with every dish.

What's New for AmaWaterways?

In 2019, AmaWaterways released three state-of-the-art ships: AmaMagna, AmaMora and AmaDouro. AmaMagna became the biggest ship of AmaWaterway’s fleet, with its width twice the size of a traditional river cruise ship, while still maintaining its intimate environment. AmaMora is a sister ship to AmaLea and AmaKristina with a 156-guest capacity. AmaDouro is the second ship to cruise the Douro River and will have a 102-guest capacity.

AmaWaterways added AmaLea, a one-of-a-kind ship, in 2018. AmaLea will feature connecting staterooms and six new itineraries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

One of <i>AmaWaterways’</i> newest vessels

Debuting for AmaWaterways during 2016, AmaStella and AmaViola are both 158-passenger vessels boasting spacious staterooms with AmaWaterways' exclusive Twin Balconies. Both ships will sail in European rivers.

Two ships joined the AmaWaterways fleet during 2015: AmaDara is cruising the waters of Vietnam and Cambodia; AmaSerena features Twin Balconies and sails in Europe.

AmaSonata and AmaReina celebrated their inaugural year in 2014. They follow the 2013 debut of sister ship AmaPrima, a 164-passenger ship with accommodations ranging in size up to 300 square feet.
