Why travelers choose AmaWaterways

Legendary Danube

“We've been fortunate to sail multiple journeys with AmaWaterways on the Danube River, but we particularrly enjoyed this itinerary because it includes a visit to Nuremberg. It is a fascinating German city with a castle and beautiful town square and our excursion covered a lot of history.”
