AmaWaterways - AmaCello Reviews

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

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

Superb service, fine food and wine, wonderful land excursions

Would have been a five but cabin and especially bathroom were very small and bathroom not well lit. Service and food were excellent.

All the staff was lovely and delightful. The food was excellent. Evening entertainment was a lot of fun.

Travel plans to Barcelona from Winnipeg, Canada and return from Lyon was way too tiring because of the airline itinerary. Should have been easier.

As usual AMA had exceptional service and food. Great tours and so accommodating. Loved Heloise our tour director.

Best cruise line we’ve been on

We had an enjoyable time - Helene and the crew were excellent (Richard the waiter, the bar crew in particular). All the tour guides were outstanding. Particularly the woman on the vineyard hike in Tournon and the women in Avignon and Barcelona. Barcelona had the issue of pickpocketing - at least 2 of our tour groupmates lost wallets and/or purses & passport - takes a little of the pleasure out. Hotel was very good in Barcelona. Would be helpful if the local organizer (Paris where our friends went and Barcelona where the four of us went) would have sheet of suggested places to visit, restaurants (in areas to visit and near hotel) - we wasted time trying to determine where we wanted to go. I used to do this all the time at my job where we hosted people frequently from out of town. Looking forward to a future cruise.

This was our first River Cruise and AMA came highly recommended. While some aspects were excellent, others could have been better.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Rhône cruise through Provence. There was a great selection of excursions and my husband loved the bike tours. Food, drinks, and the company of the other travelers help to make the trip special.

Every aspect of this trip was supported by top notch service. First rate food, wine, excursions, and staff. I really can’t say enough nice things about everyone connected with Ama Waterways!

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 :-)

Everything went very well! The tours were well organized! The cruise director was very good to make sure all requests were answered as well as private tours were arranged. The crew was well versed on their jobs and the food was excellent!

We had great rooms, great food, great service, wonderful tours, loved that cocktail hour is now included, and met lots of nice people. Our captain was so friendly and informative. We have recommended this trip to lots of friends. We will be taking another AMA Waterways tour in the future.

On our 3rd river cruise with Amawaterways, the quality of all elements of the cruise remains "the best". The Rhone river cruise met & exceeded all expectations

Excellent itinerary, food, service and excursions.

AMA had excellent food and service and the AMACello was a nice ship. Everything met our expectations or exceeded our expectations.

Complete enjoyment with no worries as everything handled with ease,friendliness and care. Tours, guides, information and sites fantastic with great learning and appreciation. Food remarkable in taste and presentation. Service and friendliness of all staff impeccable. The trip is highly recommended!
