AmaWaterways
AmaWaterways, a family-owned and operated enterprise embarking on river cruises since 2002, was founded with a simple yet profound ambition: to establish a river cruise experience they would personally relish. Setting benchmarks in innovation and sustainability within the river cruise industry, they takes pride in being a pioneer. They introduced twin-balcony staterooms, a complimentary fleet of bikes, a comprehensive wellness program, and The Chef's Table specialty restaurant – all seamlessly included in the cruise fare.
Environmental consciousness is a core value for AmaWaterways, evident in the Green Award certification earned by all 18 of their ships in Europe. This recognition attests to their industry-leading commitment to safety, quality, and environmental performance, epitomized by their latest groundbreaking vessel, the AmaMagma.

Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country— the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Regua, the ‘capital’ of the Douro Valley; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.

Follow the route of emperors, kings and queens on a magnificent European journey along three rivers and through five fascinating countries. The natural wonders of the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers yield way to countless UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Cologne’s Gothic Cathedral, the Würzburg Residenz Palace, the charming Old Towns of Bamberg and Regensburg, and the Melk Abbey—to name a few. Connoisseurs of fine wines get to taste the difference between German and Austrian Rieslings; and gourmets get to indulge in Western and Eastern European specialties. And for active enthusiasts, you will get to hike and bike through breathtaking scenery in Passau and Vienna. All of this and more awaits on one all-encompassing magnificent journey.

Grand cities blend in perfect harmony with their historic past and their progressive future. Inspirational towns have given way to great stories, poetry and music, like Heidelberg, where Mark Twain wrote A Tramp Abroad. Timeless traditions remain intact—from the brewing of Germany’s legendary beers, to the making of Rüdesheimer coffee. Take a front-row seat on an enchanting journey that takes you along the Rhine and through its designated UNESCO World Heritage Site with its 40 castles strung like pearls on its river banks and to magnificent cities and charming villages alike.
