AmaWaterways Reviews

Had some disruptions during the cruise but AMAWaterways responded well

Great weather, great cruise, great biking and cheers to a wonderful crew on the Amakristina for making it all happen!!

Exceeded expectations - absolutely great!

I very much enjoyed the cruise on the Seine. Visiting sites I'd only read about or seen pictures of was in some places solemn and very moving (Omaha Beach and the American cemetery), and in others charming, picturesque and delightful ( Honfleur, Giverny, Rouen) I would have much preferred not driving past the museum displaying the Bayeaux tapestries without seeing them. I would have preferred being able to visit the inside of the place where Joan of Arc was held before being burned to death- which apparently is always closed on the Monday the ship stops in Rouen. I would have greatly preferred being able to sit with different people during mealtime and get to talk to and get to know many other travelers instead of the four people you assigned me to sit with. And I would have preferred more meal choices that reflected the food of the Normandy area, which is quite distinct and delicious. The chef was excellent and I enjoyed the meals but would have been happy to have more fresh fish and shellfish that are the fare of the coast of Normandy and its environs.

This River Cruise went so far above my expectations, in all areas. Crew, accomodations, food, wines, tours, attention to detail. And as a retired nurse, I so appreciated the Covid standards and compiance by all. I very much hope to do this again...only with AmaWaterways!!! Michelle

The trip was seamless, which says a lot traveling in these pandemic times! Our pre- and post-cruise land tours were hosted by the Tour Manager, Heloise Tinguely, who is amazing and so much fun! Nothing fazed her throughout the trip. We had three great days in Barcelona with two other couples on the tour, then 7 days on AmaKristina, which was lovely, comfortable, and welcoming! We enjoyed great excursions every day, from Avignon to Lyon. We liked the variety of levels of excursions, from quieter ones to more active ones, and always found something fascinating to do. The meals were outstanding, and the service on the ship was impeccable. Our final three days in Paris, again with our same small group and with Heloise, were amazing. We saw and learned so much, and had an outstanding time. We plan to travel with AmaWaterways again!

Great food and very friendly service.

Fabulous!

Perfect way to see an entire region. Relaxing but with amazing included excursions. Ready to book my next one!!

This trip was in celebration of our 50th anniversary and everyone made us feel special. Service and care was beyond expectations. David Walsh our Avoya rep and the cruise director David Mateo deserve special thanks for a trip of a lifetime.

Covid precautions and to-do lists for Covid pale in comparison to all that we saw and did and tasted and heard.

We came back with great memories of France and experiences that will last a lifetime. It has certainly given us the travel bug.

From start to finish it was amazing.

Great crew, delicious food, interesting tours

Poor planning, not prepared to deal with problems, food ok, leaving travelers to be stuck without food or activities, sitting for some time without food as new travelers were boarded. Stuck in long car ride to airport after waiting, shorted on tours, etc. No recognition or compensation for being, shorted just excuses. Etc, Needs years of improvement to be a competitor. Worst cruise in terms of quality of some stops, dealing with problems beyond making excuses.

Thank you! This was a dream vacation for us. The cruise was wonderful. The Ama Waterways staff was amazing, so attentive and helpful. Valerie with Avoya really took care of us too. We will definitely recommend Avoya and Ama Waterways to all our friends. Such a blessing.

The pre and post cruise activities were a whole lot of fun. Cruise manager, Pedro did an outstanding job with handling any challenge that happen to come up. The ships stall was great and we meet new friends.
