AMA River Cruise Destinations
AmaWaterways is primarily a European river cruise operator. It offers sailings on many of the region’s most famous rivers, including the Rhine, the Danube, and the Douro. Most itineraries last seven nights, and depending on the embarkation or disembarkation port, a pre- or post-cruise land stay can be added.
AmaWaterways ships often dock just a short walk from the central attractions, so you will have direct access to the heart of each city or town you visit. From majestic Vienna to Amsterdam’s grand canals, a river cruise with AmaWaterways offers you the opportunity to experience a range of highlights in one trip.
AmaWaterways also offers river cruises in Southeast Asia and on the Chobe River in Africa. These itineraries are ideal for exploring an exotic destination but retain the comfort and ease of river-based cruising. For example, in Southeast Asia, you can cruise from Siem Reap or Ho Chi Minh and discover the enchanting Mekong River aboard AmaDara. You can enjoy a safari adventure in Africa on the regal Zambezi Queen.
AmaWaterways Ships
AmaWaterways’ ships have a capacity for no more than 24 to 164 guests and are among the newest vessels currently operating on the rivers of Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The staterooms, many of which feature private balconies, are spacious and tastefully decorated and have en-suite bathroom facilities. At the same time, the award-winning dining options are guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning palates.
In terms of facilities, nearly every AmaWaterways ship has its spa, fitness room, and pool, so there’s plenty to do should you wish to stay active on your cruise. However, if you’d prefer to relax, you will find ample seating and space on the sun deck, which is the perfect location for taking in the scenery as you gently make your way to the next port of call.

AmaWaterways will enhance its Douro River offering in 2025 with a new ship, AmaSintra, which will join AmaDouro and AmaVida on Portugal’s most famous river. 2025 will also see AmaMelodia debut on Colombia’s Magdalena River, with a choice of itineraries bookend by immersive land stays to provide a deeper level of discovery in Cartagena and Panama City. Other AmaWaterways cruises 2025 include a Celebration of Music theme cruise on the Danube and new 14-night Grand Voyages on the Seine, which sail from Paris and call to various towns throughout Normandy.
Looking ahead to 2026, AmaWaterways will add further ships to its fleet. AmaKaia is a luxurious river ship purpose-built to traverse the twists and turns of the Mekong River. AmaSofia will sail the Danube with over 31 itineraries, including a series that promises a magical journey to several of Europe’s best Christmas Markets. We recommend booking your AmaWaterways river cruise early to secure your preferred stateroom or suite at the best possible price.
