Why travelers choose AmaWaterways
AmaWaterways suits travelers who want to be out doing something. Most ports offer a choice of gentle, regular, and active excursions, bikes are carried aboard on European sailings, and the dining program — including the Chef's Table restaurant — is consistently among the best on the rivers.
Staterooms on the newer ships feature twin balconies: a French balcony and a full outside balcony in the same room. It is a small detail that changes how the trip feels.
Where the fleet sails
Europe is the heart of it — the Danube, Rhine, Main, Moselle, Rhône, Seine, and Douro. Beyond Europe, AmaWaterways sails the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia, the Nile in Egypt, the Chobe in Africa paired with safari, and the Magdalena River in Colombia.
Christmas markets, tulip time, and wine-themed sailings are the ones that sell out first. If one of those is on your list, we should be talking a year out.
What certification changes for you
Advisor training means I can tell you which deck is worth the money on a specific ship, which itinerary has the strongest included tours, and when a shoulder-season date will save you meaningfully without costing you weather.
Through my agency's affiliation with the Avoya Travel Network, promotions and amenities are frequently available beyond the published fare — and my planning time costs you nothing, because the cruise line pays my commission.
