AmaWaterways - AmaKristina Reviews

This was another wonderful experience with AmaWaterways. Accomodations, food, the crew, and the excursions were all top notch. No better way to see these wonderful sites and enjoy the rivers. And we always make new friends on the way.

Food and service was excellent! The day trips - some better then others. Tour guides - some better then others (soft spoken, broken English hard to understand), but all very nice. Some problems, for everyone, with the hearing boxes. Some day tours seem to duplicate a lot of the same information. Could be what the river has to offer. I found the Danube River trip much more interesting.

Sonya was exceptional...she worked long hours to ensure everyone got what they wanted and needed. The food was very good. The shore excursions were very well done and the guides were very knowledgeable. Loved the visit to the truffle farm. The Van Gogh walking Tour, the Vienne walking Tour , Lyon City Tour and Tain L'Hermitage hike and wine tasting were outstanding.

Wonderful trip through Provence. Stress free travel at its finest. Loved the food, staff & the tours. Every single minute was enjoyable from embarkation!

Fabulous cruise from Avignon to Lyon. Great tours, amazing food and friendly helpful staff. Can’t wait to take another cruise in the future.

Very much enjoyed our 7 day cruise on the Rhone river with 3 day pre-cruise in Barcelona and 3 day post-cruise in Paris

The itinerary, service, food, and accommodations on our Colors of Provence river cruise were all fabulous. Looking forward to taking another journey!

A wonderful trip with great friends. Amawaterways is an incredible river cruise line from start to finish.

I was disappointed in the biking options… the bikes were terrible ( they replaced them towards the end of the trip, resulting in two days when biking was completely cancelled). We really wanted to bike in Lyon and throughout the trip since it was ideal terrain. That, sadly, was not to be. Otherwise a very nice trip. Since it was just the two of us and they assigned the same seats and dining companions ( whom we didn’t know but were quite nice)it didn’t really lend itself to socializing. Oh and I am still recovering from the Covid I tested positive for on return?. No one’s fault.

This was our second cruise with Amawaterways and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We were busy with our excursions, meeting new friends and treated like royalty by the dedicated staff. Our cruise director, Rachael was beyond the best, she seemed to be everywhere, making sure everyone was accounted for and content. Again, we had a great time, only wished I brought a warmer jacket.

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

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.

Overall, it was a nice trip. At the start, we had such a long delay once we landed in Marseille because a lost or delayed couple delayed the bus taking us to Lyon, the start of our cruise. It was an excruciating wait after 17 hours & 2 layovers in the air. I know the AMAWaterways escort tried calling her office several times to see if we could leave on the long bus ride, but it was a long delay waiting for the couple that never showed up. Not the best start for our cruise. I have to say I don’t think we will travel outside the USA for a while until overseas travel with Covid restrictions are not constantly changing requiring anxious & stressful last minute new Covid checks. When we got to France, it was simple. We didn’t need to sign up for the French Health Passport that a majority of the cruise passengers also never received in time before the trip. All we really needed was our vaccination cards while in France. Other changes or forms would pop up when we traveled through other countries’ airports.

Ceasars Santos was the most helpful tour manager we have ever had. It was pure pleasure to be traveling again and Amawaterways was top notch.

The cruise was s nice combination of excursion choices & relaxation opportunities!

Great staff, great service ... we had a remarkable time! Family friendly atmosphere.

The ship was comfortable and beautifully appointed. The food and wine was excellent and always varied. The Food and cabin service was first class - friendly and efficient. The cruise director was entertaining and available to address any requests. The fitness director was very knowledgeable and offered many classes and private sessions. All excursions were interesting, educational and on time. This was only my second river cruise and first with AMA. It was perfect in every way. I’ll certainly travel again with AMA!!
