“In addition to stunning Petra, the Dead Sea, and other interesting stops, Ama does a jeep tour and Bedouin dinner in Wadi Rum that other cruise lines don’t. The tour directors and Egyptologists were excellent. We felt safe throughout this trip. It truly is a trip of a lifetime.”
My heart is on the Danube
“Mitchell and I left a little piece of our hearts on the Danube River. Linz swept us off our feet as our guide led us past vibrant art museums and the New Cathedral. I could write a love letter to Passau.”
First-time solo travel
“In the first week of August, I went on my very first river cruise aboard the AmaPrima—seven nights on the “Europe’s Rivers and Castles” itinerary. As a solo traveler, I was nervous. But the moment I stepped on the ship, I was warmly welcomed by the cruise manager, Milan, and instantly felt at ease.”
