Why do we love AmaWaterways so much? With Ama’s focus on really immersing yourself into the culture of your destinations and their attention to elevating every detail, there are countless reasons to love their river cruises. But… we have chosen to highlight our top 11
- Multi-generational travel: AmaWaterways’ ships are family friendly, which makes AmaWaterways your perfect home base for exploration when traveling with children and grandparents. Another reason to chose Ama for you next family adventure? We like to think that if Disney trusts Ama enough to partner with them for Adventures by Disney offerings, then Ama is certainly doing a lot of things in the right way!
- Space: because each ship only carries an average of 156 guests, AmaWaterways is able to offer you more personal space in your stateroom. Depending on the type of room you and your advisor determine best suits your needs, your room space could range from 155-350 sq ft.
- Small excursions: for each port stop there is one included excursion. This is often a walking tour of the town you are visiting. But there are other options as well and given that there are fewer passengers sailing and many passengers that enjoy independent exploration, the excursion groups are often smaller than those you will find on an ocean cruise.
- Explore smaller off the beaten path towns: yes, you will visit the main cities as well, but because you are covering less ground and traveling at night, these river ships are able to stop at the smaller, less known gems that dot the river shores.
- No waiting in lines to get on or off the ship: the ship is able to dock right along the shore making it very easy to debark and embark. There is no waiting for a shuttle boat to take you ashore. This also makes it very accessible for those with mobility concerns.
- All the staterooms have windows: each ship is designed for each cabin to have a view. This is especially important for those travelers concerned about feeling cooped up. Knowing you will have daylight in your room is a major benefit unique to AmaWaterways river cruises.
- Beer, wine, and soft drinks are included during lunch and dinner: you will not find any drink packages on AmaWaterways. Individual drinks are available for purchase throughout the day.
- Happy hour with beverages and hard alcohol is available each night to enjoy an hour before dinner: this is a great time to unwind and to catch up with fellow passengers to share tales of the day’s adventures.
- Chef’s Table: each passenger enjoys dining at the Chef’s Table at least once per voyage giving them the opportunity to experience complimentary award-winning cuisine in an intimate signature dining venue.
- Complimentary Wi-Fi, bicycles and bottled water: are available for the duration of your voyage. the Wi-Fi will help keep you connected and allow you to forgo an international roaming plan. The complimentary bicycles are unique to AmaWaterways and are a great way to explore the smaller port stops. The complimentary water is key, especially if cruising during the steamy summer months.
- Kids are welcome at wellness classes! If you want to take in a much-needed yoga class with your mini-me, then AmaWaterways will accommodate and welcome you all to join in.
