AmaWaterways has unveiled a new global brand identity, inviting travellers to “Follow Their Own Current” as the dedicated river cruise line reflects its evolution, spirit and global growth ambitions.

The AmaWaterways rebrand is designed to deepen the company’s connection with cruisers and showcase the river cruising experience across its fleet of 29 ships on four continents.

An updated visual identity anchors the rebrand, using a modernised logo inspired by AmaWaterways’ musical heritage, a vibrant colour palette and images with real guests and crew.
