Frequently Asked Questions

Why travelers choose AmaWaterways

City Escape: The Rhine

“You have more time to spend with family and you don’t have the kids off at a big water park on deck. With ocean cruising, people are prone to be doing separate things versus having more quality time with less distraction. River cruising has my heart now.”

JS
Jennifer S.
City Escape: The Rhine

“Ama goes above and beyond to make the holiday season special aboard, and its wonderful to be able to celebrate, be taken care of, and feel like I’ve done something special for myself all at the same time. I can’t recommend it enough!”

AB
Aimee Bentson
Best of Holland & Belgium

“We found this type of cruise so much more enjoyable than any of the large ocean cruises we have been on. You have the chance to get to know your fellow cruisers and make new friends. This was our first river cruise but will not be the last on Ama Waterways.”

Board your ship and let the Douro River welcome you, with Porto’s illuminated waterfront casting a warm glow over the start of your journey.


Tour Porto’s historic quarter, including the Cathedral and São Bento Railway Station, and enjoy a tasting of Portugal’s famed port. Hike through the old harbor and medieval streets, then visit Guimarães and Quinta de Sezim for a winery tour and terrace tasting.


Visit the charming village of Entre­-os-­Rios, aptly named for its location at the confluence of the Tâmega and Douro rivers. Experience an authentic slice of Douro River life with a traditional “home-cooked” meal at a local quinta, accompanied by a tasting of the region’s renowned wines.


Witness the Baroque splendor of Mateus Palace and Gardens, admiring its old-world furnishings, distinctive paintings, and intricately carved wooden ceilings. Explore the palace’s magnificent gardens, celebrated as some of the most beautiful in Portugal, and learn the story behind the famed Mateus Rosé. 


Venture to the town of Lamego to visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies or climb the 686-step Holy Staircase adorned with white and blue tiles on a guided hike. Both excursions conclude with a tasting of local specialties, including Bôlas de Lamego, Presunto, and Espumante.

Take a leisurely walk to the charming Pinhão Railway Station, famed for its 25 blue-tiled panels depicting scenes from the Douro region. Continue to Quinta da Roêda, a historic estate in the heart of the Douro Valley known for its terraced vineyards. Enjoy a scenic drive up to the quinta, followed by a wine tasting and a traditional family-style lunch featuring regional delicacies.


Venture to Castelo Rodrigo, the “White Village,” known for its almond trees and stunning views that stretch as far as Spain. Explore the medieval streets on a guided walking tour, admiring 16th‑century facades and Manueline windows, or opt for a more active hike to the village. Conclude with a tasting of local specialties, including regional cheeses, bread, almonds, and wines from the area.
