AmaWaterways - AmaVida Reviews

Despite staff limitations to the Covid, we felt well served and much appreciated by the great staff led by Henrique who was wonderful guide and a competent manager.

We had a wonderful and beautiful cruise through the Douro Valley - we highly recommend it! And if your cruise director is Iuri Viera - that's an added bonus!! He was fantastic!

Awesome trip. Crew, food were great. Way interesting side trips. Beautiful country.

All was fabulous. Good People good food and wine.

AMA Waterways is the best!

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.

This cruise did not really cruise a whole lot - it was more like a cruise and park - I found the last stop, Porto, to be a hugh disappointment. The ship, the food, the service and the crew were outstanding

The cruise manager (Pau) was excellent. The ship was not luxurious and appeared to be ready for an overhaul soon. Space in the dining room was very overcrowded. Buffet-type eating lends to sickness...we left the ship not well. Security of our small stateroom was lacking - our patio door was unlockable. Balconies are small and almost unusable.

I would give this cruise a 5 but the ship is a little weary as it was the end of the season. Furniture sagging, drains not draining well, shower doors askew allowing water to flow onto the floor. But as always, the crew was wonderful, responsive and always delightful. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperative so we had too many days of rain. While the areas needed it, we would have appreciated clear skies. Nonetheless, we had a great time!

Yes, everything worked out beautifully. The hotels (particularly liked the Westin), pre & post tours in Madrid & Lisbon .. and the most pleasurable AMA cruise on the Douro River with excursions .. all exceptional! And it was particularly nice having our lovely -efficient & accommodating - tour director, Mariana Ramallo be with us from start to finish! Thanks! Loved it all!

Daytime sailing lets one admire the Portuguese mountainous country side.

This trip is geared for individuals that do not want exercise or activity.

Very disappointed that AMA chose to change our flights after I had a boarding pass, without telling me! Horrible customer service. Caused us to miss a day in Lisbon.

Disappointing trip this time — too many and too long of coach trips up winding, narrow, hilly roads. Also, no recognition of our 50th Anniversary by Ama. This was our 5th Ama trip and our expectations were not met.

Another excellent cruise with AmaWaterways. This time we explored the Douro River. Incredible beautiful. Great AMA crew. Luis was a passionate cruise director; very proud of his home of Porto and the Douro Valley.

AMAWaterways is the best.

Would do it all over again. The sights, the people and the food.

FABULOUS, AWESOME! Best one ever!

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.
