the AmaWaterways difference
The ‘Ama’ philosophy
‘Ama’ comes from the Latin word for ‘love’. It’s a concept that runs through every aspect of their river cruises, from the design of the ships and development of the itineraries to the quality of cuisine and high levels of service. It’s a philosophy that drives AmaWaterways’ attention to detail, constant innovation and culture of always making guests the top priority. With an award-winning fleet, critically acclaimed dining and unique tour options, you will have the trip of a lifetime on an AmaWaterways river cruise.
On-board wellness programme
AmaWaterways recognises the importance of maintaining your wellbeing during your cruise. Their wellness programme, available across the award-winning European fleet, enhances the beauty and leisure of river cruising with a special emphasis on wellness travel. An on-board wellness host will lead a variety of exercise classes and on-board lectures focusing on healthy eating and relaxation techniques. European ships are also equipped with a fleet of bicycles, a fitness room, whirlpool or swimming pool and a walking track. And, since cuisine is such a big part of the river cruising experience, AmaWaterways incorporates healthy eating, using locally sourced ingredients in its culinary offerings.
Regionally inspired cuisine
You can enjoy unlimited complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner on board and sparkling wine at breakfast. Multiple dining venues include the Main Restaurant & The Chef’s Table speciality restaurant. There’s the Sip & Sail cocktail hour with complimentary wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks, plus a variety of alternative dining options, including early-riser breakfasts, light lunches and a selection of complimentary refreshments and snacks.
State-of-the-art ship, AmaMagna
Set sail in ultimate luxury on board AmaWaterways’ state-of-the-art ship, AmaMagna, a magnificent river cruise ship offering more choice, more ways to explore and more luxury. As imagined by AmaWaterways’ Co-Founder, Co-Owner and President Rudi Schreiner, the AmaMagna is twice the width of traditional European river ships and is redefining the river cruise experience. The AmaMagna was designed for those seeking a fresh, contemporary and dynamic take on river cruising, as well as ocean cruisers accustomed to the luxury of more.
