This was our seventh river cruise with AmaWaterways, so we are definitely pleased with every aspect of the experience they provide.

The ship and the crew were way above what I anticipated. AMA cruise line goes over and above to make sure you had the best time available. They offer many excursions every day to make your trip the very best.

We received excellent service from Affordable Tours and Ama Waterways.
