AmaWaterways Reviews

AMA again was incredible, friendly, tours were exceptional, tour guides informative and so friendly! Monika, our cruise manager was always a shining star to meet my husband’s needs . We did the survey on the ship . Monika’s guidance , friendly and sincere recommendations and inspiration in Paris was extraordinarily. We pre arranged ( a cost of $140.00) to have an electric scooter available for my husband during the river cruise on the Rhône. We could not use it because of the extreme slopes of the hills . We used the wheelchair I brought from the states to manage the cobblestone and the hills . Perhaps a refund would be considered. If we return to Europe, we would travel the Danube and the Rhine with renting an electric scooter ! The Renaissance Hotel in a Paris was disappointing. Lots of “ Bells and Whistles”... . For example, I had to ask for a second bathrobe , a bath rug , more toilet paper and our handicap shower ( newly done ) pooled water , drainage slow . I had to mop up the floor with towels so that my husband who had Parkinson’s would not slip . When one took a shower in the open space , the spray hit the sink and almost the toilet. Gluten free options for eating very limited. AMA’s assistant “Max “ at the Paris airport was calming and wonderful! The transfer to the airport was exceptional. I am always recommending your exquisite service and thank you again for a wonderful time ! Maryann and Tom Lincoln

Great ship, fantastic and caring staff, diverse and interesting land tours and friendly fellow shipmates.

Portugal is enchanting, and it was wonderful to see it from the lovely AmmaDouro. The ship was casual yet elegant, the rooms were comfortable, the guides were terrific, and the food was amazing. The excursions were fun and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cruise.

This is an excellent way to visit Vietnam and Cambodia. We had excellent local guides that really helped us have a better understanding of the countries and the people. The guide highlights were Sokun in Cambodia and Rose in Vietnam, both were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable.

An amazing trip from Romania to Germany, with surprises, beauty, an incredible staff and great food!

We really liked the small intimate size of the ship. The room was nice and well kept as well as the rest of the ship. The food was good. Service was good. Tours were good. Sleeping was challenging with all the noises going through the locks at night. Although the tours were fun we had to be bussed ahead on several to catch up with the boat. Weather was not great on our cruise. Loads of interesting places that you visit on these - our favorite part!

Excellent guides with interesting curriculum. Excellent staff, they were kind , discret , and personal. My only comment would be to update the decor ,particularly the cabins . The present decor is dated and does not match the excellent services. It would also be helpful to know the general time frame for housekeeping services to clean the cabins.

Stellar service, food and excursions! Staff is beyond belief! Always a smile and attention to detail. Everything done the way you’d want it. Nothing left lacking. Nailed it!!!

The cruise was wonderful. The staff could not have been more accommodating and the food overall was excellent. Our only disappointment was the fact that our 32 wedding anniversary was ignored even though we told the cruise manager about it at the beginning of the trip.

Superb service, fine food and wine, wonderful land excursions

AMA Waterways exceeded our Expectations and we will try and Remain exclusive to them moving forward.

We were on the AmaViola, Enchanting Rhine Cruise, from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam. The ship was luxurious, with many amenities, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. The cruise director, Rachel, was phenomenal. She kept everything running smoothly and was so knowledgeable and accommodating. The meals were very good; there were always options of meat, fish, or vegetarian entrees. The wines offered were usually from the local region. The onshore activities were also varied; one could choose between active excursions like biking, hiking, to more gentle, with motor coaches and easy walking. A very nice variety. We wish we could have had more time to explore certain towns and landmarks- 15 minutes was not long enough to explore the Cologne Cathedral (of course, we were on a bike tour that day). All in all, it was a wonderful cruise. We would not hesitate to go with AMA Waterways for another cruise.

Our cruise on the AMA Sonata down the Danube was superb. We hated to come home after being pampered by the professional staff in all their variety of functions.

Everything was exceptional from the Cruise Manager,the crew , the Captain ,the food, all exceeded our expectations and we look forward to taking another cruise in the future with AMA Sharon Seaman

Fewer excursions than on previous AMA cruises and no experts came on board to talk about the countries/cities we were seeing.
