The company is renowned for its extraordinarily warm & welcoming crew; innovative & sustainable ship design; its Wellness Programme, including a wide choice of included small group shore excursions; and its award-winning, locally sourced cuisine with complimentary fine wine. AmaWaterways leads the river cruise industry in innovation highlighted with the launch of the revolutionary AmaMagna in 2019, and the introduction of history-making Seven River Journey itineraries debuting in 2023.

Why Travel with AmaWaterways?
