AmaWaterways Reviews

Food excellent. Educational piece poor. Sites chosen same as other cruise lines. City tours with little to no stopping to see sights always disappointing. Wine tasting good. Scenery spectacular. Dinner at the monastery with the 13th century oven very substandard and not worth the effort. Intercontinental Hotel in Lisbon with one of the worst breakfast buffets I've ever had and bad service too.

Everything was top-notch....the room, food, service and friendliness of crew. The excursions were great, everything was so well organized.

Amawaterways provides an excellent product

Couldn't have been better. Food, wine, service, room, excursions and amenities were all terrific.

AMA personnel went out of their way to make our cruise smooth and worry-free, despite some extreme challenges.

It was a fantastic experience. Staff was wonderful and words cannot explain how wonderful,smart,caring, and funny Camile Dernis is. I look forward to my next adventure.

I am very well-traveled, and the AmaCerto experience exceed my expectations in every respect. Recommend the trip without qualification.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the Danube was closed at the end of the trip. The sailing was one of my favorite parts, and I know it wasn't AMA's fault, but a bus isn't as relaxing. I must say, they made the best of a bad situation. I'd use AMA again.

Loved every moment of my Bordeaux cruise and pre cruise adventure. The very best personalized service from the captain down to the cabin attendant.

This was our third cruise with AMA, and it ranked right up there as one of our favorites.

They were fabulous - she said they coddled you more than others and given that's what I really needed right now, I was glad she was right and they certainly over-delivered :-) Crew, food, cabin, excursions all top notch :-)

Amawaterways did an exceptional job. Very happy with their service, price and destinations.

I have only the best comments regarding the AmaViola, its facilities, its service, its food, its staff, etc.. . . . first class all the way. However, we were somewhat disappointed with a few of the shore excursions. Some of the excursions seemed very hurried and rushed and some of the local tour guides did not show us some of the places that were listed as included in our travel itinerary. This was particularly evident in Salzburg where we felt like we were walking in circles and not really seeing anything. The best part of Salzburg was our free time. Vienna was also a disappointment. We would strongly suggest that the excursions focus more on quality sightseeing rather than quantity. On the other hand, many of the excursions were very nice, specifically in Prague and some of the smaller towns. I want to reemphasize that the ship itself was amazing. I want to particularly give five stars to our cruise manager Reka Piros who worked tirelessly to keep all passengers happy and to keep the entire trip so organized for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be in charge. She was WONDERFUL!! I would definitely recommend AmaWaterways in terms of a cruise line. First class all the way!!!

Beautiful ship, amazing service and top notch food. My wife and I had an incredible time at this Rhine river cruise. Visited amazing sites such as Strasbourg, Heidelberg, and Rudesheim.And navigating through the Rhine Gorge and seeing so many castles was just an out of the world experience.

It was perfect. Ama Waterways found the right balance of service, structure and free time. The lower Danube was such a wonderful place to visit. We could hardly have had a better experience on this cruise. Ama is a class operation all the way around.

AmaWaterways far exceeded our expectations! All of the staff on the AmaViola were helpful, friendly, and attentive to our every need... even ones we hadn't thought of! :) There aren't enough positive words to convey what an outstanding job our our cruise director, Reka, did. She went above and beyond to make our experience the very best! Thank you!

Staff was amazing. Only issue I had was that canopies were not up on upper deck to sit out of the sun. When I asked I was told it's a lot of trouble to put them up after each bridge , however Viking had them up immediately after exiting the bridge. Also we had a foul smell for 2-3 days on ship. Captain tried to say it was canal but that was not true.

the only thing I wish they could change is climbing up and over neighbouring boat when docked. there must be a way to make it easier, maybe figure out how to do it through the reception area, even if they are different levels.

First river cruise, and it'll be hard to beat. AMA provides a first class experience - fantastic meals, memorable excursions with extra touches other cruise groups weren't getting (biggest surprise: tour of Serbia's Royal Palace included an impromptu meeting/photo with the Crown Prince), comfortable accommodations, and a staff that works hard to ensure you have an unforgettable vacation. Our cruise manager, Bojan, managed every detail with a smile - and made it look easy. We're already planning our next AMA cruise.
