If river cruising is on your Wishlist, AmaWaterways offers a different way to experience the world. From the iconic rivers of Europe to the cultural depth of the Mekong, the emerging waterways of Colombia, and safari river cruising in Africa, every journey is designed to connect you more deeply to the destinations you travel through.
With a focus on locally inspired cuisine, beautifully designed ships and a crew known for exceptional service, AmaWaterways has built a reputation for delivering immersive, award-winning river cruises across Europe, Asia, Africa and beyond.
Unpack once and let the journey unfold as you cruise through some of the world’s most captivating regions. In Europe, sail past castles, vineyards and historic cities along the Danube, Rhine and Seine. On the Mekong, experience life along the river through Vietnam and Cambodia, where floating markets, temples and local communities bring every day to life. In Colombia, discover a new and largely untouched region along the Magdalena River.
In Africa, combine river cruising with safari experiences along the Chobe River, where wildlife sightings unfold from the water and continue on land across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
AmaWaterways ships dock in the heart of each destination, so you can step straight into the experience. Every itinerary includes a wide range of shore excursions - from guided city tours and cultural experiences to bike rides, hikes and local tastings - all designed to suit different interests and activity levels.
Your stateroom is more than just a place to rest - it’s part of the experience. Spacious, contemporary and thoughtfully designed, most feature AmaWaterways’ signature twin balconies, offering panoramic views and a seamless connection to the passing scenery.
Across its fleet, AmaWaterways continues to innovate, from the award-winning AmaMagna in Europe to purpose-built ships on the Mekong and Magdalena rivers, and intimate safari vessels in Africa. Their expansion into Colombia reflects a commitment to creating new, immersive journeys, with smaller ships and a strong focus on local communities, culture and sustainability.
Dining is a highlight of every AmaWaterways journey. As a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the focus is on regionally inspired cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients, paired with quality wines and beers included with lunch and dinner.
Menus are designed to reflect the destinations you travel through - from European classics along the Danube and Rhône, to vibrant Southeast Asian flavours on the Mekong, and Caribbean-influenced cuisine in Colombia. Experiences like The Chef’s Table bring this to life, with multi-course tasting menus prepared right in front of you.
Whether it’s a relaxed breakfast, a light lunch or a multi-course dinner, every meal is part of the journey.
Wellness and balance are woven into the experience, with dedicated Wellness Hosts offering small-group fitness classes, alongside opportunities to relax with spa treatments or unwind on the sun deck.
What truly sets AmaWaterways apart is the service. With a high crew-to-guest ratio, every detail is considered, and every guest is treated with genuine care. It’s this combination of immersive travel, exceptional service and thoughtfully designed experiences that sees travellers return time and time again - turning a river cruise into a true Wishlist experience.
