where LUXURY meets AUTHENTICITY
The experience of a luxury river cruise should transcend snapshots. It should awaken your senses and envelop your heart in a warm embrace. The ultimate luxury river cruise is the authenticity of sipping a distinctive Wachau Valley Riesling from a Viennese wine tavern visited earlier in the day. It’s waking up each morning to another spectacular hilltop castle around the river bend. It’s the scent of lavender wafting on the gentle Provence breeze; the beat of traditional African drums. It’s the taste of a delicate yet rich crème brulee hand-torched by an expert chef. It’s immersive, transformative and unforgettable. It’s AmaWaterways.
Floating Indulgence
AmaWaterways’ river ships define floating indulgence, with unparalleled service, exquisite cuisine, and unlimited complimentary wine and beer at every meal. In 2019, AmaWaterways expands its award-winning fleet by three, with the AmaMora on the Rhine River; the AmaDouro, sailing the Douro River; and the extraordinary AmaMagna, gliding on the Danube. At nearly twice the width of traditional river ships, AmaMagna features suites that measure 355-710 sq. ft. and account for more than 50% of accommodations. AmaMagna also boasts four unique dining venues, an expansive Zen Wellness Studio, a Water Sports Platform and an Exclusive Concierge Golf Program.
