Question: In what language is the river cruise conducted?
This was our eighth cruise with AmaWaterways, so we knew what to expect and it completely met our expectations. The cruise manager Andreea was wonderful, and the crew was friendly and professional.
The best service ever.
Our Christmas Markets on the Danube cruise was fabulous with AMAWaterways. We did Christmas Markets on the Rhine with AMAWaterways in 2014 and loved it. So, we had to do the Danube. Both cruises will get you and your family in the mood for Christmas with beautiful sites, Christmas lights, and tremendous markets. If I could afford it, I would do both again!!!
Secrets of Egypt & the Nile Cruise provides an exceptional experience. Worth Every penny! Additionally Egypt is very SAFE with extra security measures provided. The Cruise Director provided good communication on the agenda for the day. The Egyptologist that is with the group at all times provided exceptional historic details adding much to the experience. I recommend this tour to those wishing to explore Egypt!
Gems of Southeast Europe from Giurgiu to Budapest, November, 2024. My booking included a pre cruise of 2 nights in Bucharest and 2 nights in Brasov. Dracula's castle was a highlight. The local guide explained how the legend followed Vlad's impailment of captives. The Ama Magna was magnificent. It was gorgeously decorated with Christmas ornaments. Many of the crew were warm and welcoming, especially the cruise director, Nemanja. A few were professional, but not like family, an Ama selling point. The on board entertainment was the best I have seen. Although the ship captain said that it didn't matter which side of the ship my cabin faced, this was inaccurate. During the high season that may be true, but not during the off season, as we never saw any other cruise ships. As I had previously researched Northbound, the starboard cabins were much better, as almost the entire cruise they faced the water, not the pier. Category AA cabins were poorly designed as there was almost no storage space for storing clothing and other small, miscellaneous items. They had a few small, open shelves. When I paid 490 Euros for 6 nights upgrade to category AS, I ended up on the port side. AMA's security policies are entirely too strict. No ebikes are allowed due to liability issues, despite signed waivers. Once I was locked out on my balcony as it has a feature not allowing outside opening, and no one warned me. One time my key card failed to open the cabin door. Same issue with a neighbor cabin. The Apple computer was nearly useless as Ama does not allow peripheral devices to be accessed on it. The smart TV provided nearly the same features.
Just about everything was great. Staff was exceeding going out of their way to please. Loved the blue night light in the bathroom. I don't have a broad taste pallet. Picked almost all of the Chefs recommendations. They were very good. Only minor issues. The duvet was too warm for us. They cordially removed and left sheet only. I don't like the oversized square pillows. They did not have any others. We extended our trip on our own to Luxembourg and Belgium. Embarking at Wasserbillig. We took the train to Luxembourg central station. All public transportation is free in the country of Luxembourg. Taxi would have been over $100. The staff was great about taking our suitcases for the short walk to the station. It's a short walk away. But, UPHILL.! We made the mistake of having the staff take our suitcases up the first steps. Then we found out we had to go to the other side. Taking our suitcases down the steps and fortunately up a ramp on the other side.
Our AMAWaterways cruise manager, was informative, extremely engaging, and very welcoming and helpful. The boat was beautiful and service was impeccable.
This was our seventh river cruise with AmaWaterways, so we are definitely pleased with every aspect of the experience they provide.
The excursions and local guides were excellent and AMA staff was professional and accomodative. We were disappointed by the quality of the food based on our past pre-COVID experiences with AMA. Not sure we would book another trip on AMA.
Ama did an amazing job with the cruise. The ship crew and tour director were exceptional. It was the best value cruise we have taken. We were disappointed with two of the excursions. The Paris city tour, included in the extension, was two hours of walking around and looking at buildings with no real significance. It ended with a light show in a warehouse, which gave me vertigo and I lasted five minutes. People want to see the real sights. We would have rather spent two hours riding past historical structures. We signed up for the American invasion beaches tour. We only saw Omaha Beach, at high tide, and did not see Utah Beach. Instead we were taken to a little tourist village, in the British section.
Great service on AMA
This was our sixth trip with AmaWaterways and we've already booked our seventh, so they must be doing something right!
The Cruise was very enjoyable.The itinerary, service and the staff was excellent. I would take an Amawaterways cruise again.
Fantastic trip. AMA Waterways staff was excellent! I would highly recommend this trip and this company

This was an excellent 14 day AmaWaterways vacation; a mixture of land based destinations (NE Spain and the Loire region of France) and a river cruise based out of Bordeaux. Food and accommodation on the river cruise was excellent. There were just 30 people on the land based parts of this vacation and 100 vacationers on the ship (being mid-season). The 4 star hotels (San Sebastián, Loire chateaux and Paris CDG airport) were excellent, though the Bilbao hotel didn't quite match up. Weather generally good (early June). On a personal note, the accompanying travel/cruise manager was outstanding, as was the ship's Captain. Recommended.
