Choose your destination
When it comes to river cruising, the world is your oyster … from the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Douro and Rhône in Europe, to the Mekong in Asia, the Magdalena in South America, and the Nile and Chobe in Africa.
Consider your interests
Opt for cruises with well-planned shore excursions that align with your interests, whether it’s cycling through the Rheingau woods or enjoying a premier French vineyard and cellar tour.
Check inclusions
Some cruises like AmaWaterways include multiple daily excursions, fine dining, drinks, wellness programs, entertainment onboard and gratuities, while others charge extra. Check before you book.
Ship size & amenities
Consider which amenities are crucial to you, e.g. wi-fi, balcony options, onboard dining quality, and wellness facilities. AmaWaterways offers an intimate experience – yet still with all that you need.
Decide what’s the best season for you
Spring and autumn offer mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer is peak season but offers sun and outdoor activities. The winter Christmas markets are unbeatable.
