Testimonials

“I miss being treated like I’m the most important person in the world. At home, I feel like, “what do you mean you’re not bringing me drinks and checking in on me, and I have to cook for myself and do my own laundry?” There’s no one making sure I’m perfect in every moment. It’s quite an experience to be on the ship and be catered to like you’re a VIP when you’re just an average traveler. ”

Nancy H.

“I love that the ship really feels like home. You return from an excursion, and you’ve had fun, you're a little tired and ready to unwind, but there’s that familiarity that you're going to be taken care of and have a lot to look forward to. It’s very comforting to know you have such an amazing crew waiting for you and your room’s going to be immaculately clean and you’re coming back to a nice, safe space. ”

Katy H.

“The trip itself was both spectacular and amazing...Rachel, our Cruise Manager, was a big part of that, she was not only so much fun and so energetic and upbeat, she was also truly an amazing person, and any cruise she is on don't hesitate to recommend, as she is the ‘secret sauce’!”

John and Debby M.

“We’ve told so many people about how river cruising with AmaWaterways is the best-kept secret in travel, and we are already talking about what river we will experience next.”

Meghan F.

“As a slightly disabled 80-year-old, I missed out on many included excursions with other companies. Then I found AmaWaterways and their gentle walker options and my world opened up.”
