When we founded AmaWaterways ten years ago, our motivation was to provide the
most exceptional river cruise experience. Our company has grown substantially
and our commitment to excellence continues to thrive. AmaWaterways leads the way
in river cruising thanks to our fleet of customized ships, expansive amenities
and personalized service. Our pioneering features include offerings such as
French balconies, complimentary in-stateroom Internet, WiFi access,
award-winning dining plus guided bicycle tours. Our 3 newest ships extend these
innovative concepts even further by offering larger staterooms with twin
balconies, multiple dining venues and more. Exciting new itinerary highlights
and theme cruises such as our “Culinary Delights” shore excursions and the
Floriade Expo, which only occurs once every 10 years in the Netherlands, make
2012 the perfect year for river cruising.
We’re extremely proud that our fleet
of vessels has grown to twelve. New for 2012 is the 164-passenger AmaCerto, our
largest and most imaginative ship. Inspired by classic luxury yachts, she
features our exclusive twin balcony staterooms, multiple indoor and outdoor
dining venues, a heated swimming pool, a stunning glass elevator and much more.
The AmaCerto joins an award-winning fleet in Europe that includes the AmaVerde,
AmaBella, AmaDolce, AmaLyra, AmaDante, AmaCello and AmaLegro. For the first
time, our beautiful AmaDagio will cruise the Rhone River in Southern France,
providing the signature experience our passengers have come to expect from an
AmaWaterways cruise. In Russia, the redesigned AmaKatarina debuted in May 2011,
with balconies in more than 70 percent of her staterooms. And the new AmaLotus
joined the elegant La Marguerite in offering delightful Mekong River cruises as
part of our “Vietnam, Cambodia and the Riches of the Mekong” program.
We
continue to evolve the river cruising experience every year. Let us transport
you to the heart of a destination, surrounded by a panorama of history. In
Europe, discover the cultures of a dozen countries linked together from the
North Sea to the Black Sea. Immerse yourself in a Provencal landscape that
inspired painters, poets and writers. Marvel at the monuments of Imperial
Russia, or explore the ancient wonders of the Mekong. Our passion for providing
distinctive and enriching river cruise vacations is stronger than ever. We hope
to welcome you aboard soon.
