AmaSerena is a regal river ship accommodating both guests who wish to socialize with kindred cruisers and those seeking private rejuvenation. Twin-balcony cabins maximize scenic views with amenities that include Entertainment-On-Demand, unlimited WiFi, movies, music, and more. Vivid brush strokes on the duvets give local color new life, while sophisticated white marbled bathrooms offer a clean canvas.
When it’s time to step out, guests can choose a quiet respite in the inviting library or head to the Main Lounge for cocktails and conversation. Both venues are designed with fabrics in rich reds that call to mind full-bodied Merlots. For a bit of whimsy, the Sun Deck boasts a giant chess set, or you can take a dip in the refreshing pool. As a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the exclusive international culinary society, AmaSerena also offers exquisite, locally sourced cuisine both in The Main Restaurant and at The Chef’s Table.
Main Dining Room
AmaWaterways’ expert chefs craft menus that feature exquisite, locally inspired cuisine as well as traditional, Western offerings. At breakfast, sip sparkling wine as you partake fresh pastries, or opt for something made-to-order from the menu. Dinner in The Main Dining Room is a delectable, multi-course affair with wine recommendations that accompany visually stunning, delicious dishes. Try local favorites – like goulash while cruising through Hungary, bratwurst and sauerkraut after returning to the ship from Vienna, or Camembert cheese while on the Seine – or something more familiar, like a sandwich. No matter what your preference, your taste buds are sure to be impressed. Dining at this venue is included with your cruise fare.
