AmaWaterways

River Cruising

From the start, the vision for AmaWaterways was to establish a river cruise company that the owners themselves would love. This meant offering the highest-quality, locally sourced food and wine, elegantly designed ships with staterooms that maximise the stunning views of the ever-changing countryside, and a crew that goes the extra mile to treat every guest like family.

Over the past two decades, AmaWaterways have crafted unique ships with enhanced comforts and conveniences, including signature view-enhancing twin balconies, the Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, and the award-winning AmaMagna – all designed to redefine the river cruise experience. Having pioneered the first sailings on Colombia’s Magdalena River in 2025, they remain dedicated to providing innovative and sustainable ways for their guests to explore the rich culture and history along the world’s most iconic rivers.

Board your AmaWaterways luxury ship and unpack just once as you journey from one destination to the next. Every day is a chance to see something new as you sail through grand capitals and charming towns. The ships dock close to city centers, so you can easily step off and start exploring.

AmaWaterways offers a diverse selection of shore excursions included in your cruise fare. An array of options caters to various interests and activity levels, from gentle strolls to more vigorous hikes and bike rides. Enjoy city tours, guided hikes, exciting bike rides, and local tastings—all within a single itinerary!

Elegant, contemporary, and spacious, your stateroom is a personal sanctuary designed for relaxation. Most of our staterooms feature two private balconies—both a French balcony and a full outside balcony. As pioneers in offering these signature "twin balconies," AmaWaterways provide a unique panoramic view of the stunning riverside scenery, allowing ample fresh air and natural light to fill your room. With these twin balconies, you can fully enjoy the river experience in any way you prefer.

As a member of the esteemed La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and Tables et Auberges de France, AmaWaterways is dedicated to crafting exceptional, regionally inspired cuisine with locally sourced ingredients. Additionally, you can savour complimentary, hand-selected wines and local beers with every lunch and dinner on board.

AmaWaterways’ expert chefs design menus that feature both exquisite, locally-inspired dishes and traditional Western favorites. At breakfast, you can enjoy sparkling wine with fresh pastries or choose from made-to-order options. For a light lunch, visit the Main Lounge, or dine in the restaurant for full menu service alongside high-quality regional wines or beers. Dinner is a multi-course experience with wine pairings that complement visually stunning and delicious dishes. Savor local specialties such as goulash while cruising through Hungary, bratwurst and sauerkraut after exploring Vienna, or Camembert cheese on the Seine. Alternatively, you can opt for more familiar fare like a sandwich. Whatever your preference, your taste buds are sure to be delighted.

Savour red and white wines of exceptional quality, sourced from local wineries and vineyards. This offers a delightful way to experience the flavors of each region you visit. For example, you can indulge in Rieslings from the Wachau Valley, Sauternes from Bordeaux, and Calvados from Normandy, among other regional specialties.

Join dedicated Wellness Hosts for complimentary small-group fitness classes on board. For a more relaxed approach to wellness, you can take a refreshing dip in the sun-deck pool or enjoy a rejuvenating spa treatment. Healthy cuisine, made with seasonal ingredients, is always available, with options including vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-sodium choices.

The exceptional Cruise Managers and crew are dedicated to elevating your onboard experience by going above and beyond. They delight and surprise you with thoughtful details, getting to know you personally and anticipating your needs before you even have to ask. The passion and unmatched service of each team member are the primary reasons why more guests choose to cruise with AmaWaterways repeatedly over any other river cruise line.
