What Is River Cruising?
River cruising offers a completely different way to explore the world. Unlike ocean cruises, which often spend days at sea and dock at large ports, river cruises travel through the heart of a destination. Guests can step off the ship directly into historic city centres, charming villages, vineyards, and cultural landmarks.
With AmaWaterways, you'll unpack once, settle into your stateroom, and wake up in a new destination almost every day. Travelling along iconic rivers such as the Danube, Rhine, Douro, Nile, and Mekong allows you to experience multiple countries and cultures while enjoying the comfort of a boutique luxury ship.
