Discover how AmaWaterways river journeys go deeper than surface level to feature unparalleled depth and diversity of itineraries with culture and connection at every bend for an authentic, immersive approach to travel.
AmaWaterways offers a distinctly different way to explore Europe’s most famous rivers, both on board its luxurious ships and onshore excursions.
It invites travellers to create deeper connections to the regions where they cruise and weaves a compelling story for advisors to share with discerning clients.
Shore excursions and experiences that go beyond sightseeing
Unlike traditional river cruises, AmaWaterways invites guests to experience more in-destination through shore excursions – all thoughtfully curated and always included.
Enriching, guided small-group exploration highlights each destination’s history, culture and daily life, breaking through the surface for real connections with local communities.
When it comes to included, exclusive experiences, you’re spoilt for choice with up to six options available per day. You can choose your preferred pace and even select late-riser tours for those who prefer to sleep in.
Signature cultural immersions include wine tastings in Austria’s scenic Wachau Valley, pedalling through the medieval streets of Strasbourg and discovering fairytale castles and Sound of Music locations in Salzburg.
Enjoy a private wine festival in the medieval French village of Bourg, a Slovakian foodie tour of Bratislava, hiking in the Douro River Valley with a side of regional fare, or feel like you’ve stepped into an Impressionist painting at Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny.
AmaWaterways guests can choose their own adventure with multiple active options available daily for onshore excursions – from leisurely walking tours to guided hikes and exploration on bikes, allowing the freedom to tailor activities to your pace and passions.
At night, cultural immersion comes on board with evenings enlivened with local performers, musicians and storytellers, connecting guests to local communities.
Expect everything from classical quartets in Vienna to gypsy bands on the Danube, performing on board to enhance your cultural appreciation of the region.
Ships that blend luxury and local life
AmaWaterways is not just redefining the boutique river cruising experience through curated onshore excursions, but also through the onboard hospitality, fine dining and innovative amenities that flow throughout its sleek, modern fleet.
River cruising with AmaWaterways is a chance for your clients to connect more deeply with people, places and themselves while on board a luxuriously appointed ship.
Modern ships feature all the sophisticated comforts you’d expect from a premium cruise line, such as luxurious staterooms, many with twin balconies, allowing uninterrupted river views and connection to your stunning surroundings.
Guests can expect a high staff-to-guest ratio for warm, personalised service that extends to regional cuisine, using freshly sourced ingredients, and complimentary fine wines and beers that reflect the flavours and traditions of each region.
With holistic wellness at its core, balance indulgence and wellbeing on board – all with a dreamy scenic backdrop.
Wellness is woven into daily life with ample opportunities to use the onboard facilities, including a fitness room, walking track, sun deck pool and whirlpool, plus mindfulness activities, such as yoga or stretching.
Aboard AmaMagna, you can even enjoy recreational sports like pickleball on a full-size court – a first on European rivers.
With an emphasis on personal options, flexibility and enrichment both on and off the ship, AmaWaterways is the clear choice for discerning cruisers to script their own travel tales on Europe’s storied rivers.
