River Cruises with Included Onshore Experiences

Why Book an AmaWaterways River Cruise with Our Travel Agency?

Booking an AmaWaterways river cruise through our travel agency gives you access to expert guidance and added value you won’t get booking on your own. We help match you to the right itinerary, ship and discovery style so your trip fits how you like to travel.

AmaWaterways includes multiple guided experiences each day at no additional cost, giving you freedom and flexibility in how you explore each destination. Options typically range from unhurried sightseeing to active adventures, so every guest can experience the destination at their own pace.

How onshore experiences work:

  • Choice of guided tours through historic city centers and UNESCO World Heritage Sites
  • Local experiences like wine tastings and cultural demonstrations
  • Active options such as guided bike rides and hikes in countryside settings
  • Options at different activity levels so you choose your own pace

AmaWaterways places guests in small groups with local, English-speaking guides, creating a more personal and engaging experience than with larger tour groups.

AmaWaterways ships offer a luxurious yet relaxed onboard experience with spacious cabins, attentive service and included dining. All meals and select beverages are part of your cruise, giving you quality cuisine without extra charges.

Why guests love the onboard experience:

  • Smaller ships with fewer guests for a more personal atmosphere
  • Included meals featuring locally sourced ingredients and regional specialties
  • Complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner
  • Comfortable lounges, sun deck spaces and attentive crew service
