“From the minute we stepped onto our AmaWaterways river cruise ship, we were welcomed and taken care of by an amazing team.  Every little detail was planned out and executed flawlessly.  I can’t wait to book my clients with AmaWaterways. The atmosphere on the ship is relaxing and welcoming.  The décor is beautiful and elegantly casual.   There is a variety of different sitting areas where you could relax and watch the scenery go by, read a book, knit, play games, or have a glass of wine. Our stateroom was beautiful, wood paneled with the standard twin bed configuration.  There was a lot of storage and closet space, and the bathroom and shower were very nice and spacious. There were four restaurants onboard, a cinema, small laundry facility, a coffee bar, water hydration stations on each deck, a fitness center and more. It was fun to go through 16 locks and watch the Captain. The evening entertainment was a great time to meet the other travelers as we played music bingo, sang Karaoke, and watched local musicians and dancers.”
