The cruise itself was nice, although I wouldn’t repeat that same itinerary. I much preferred my previous trip from Budapest to Germany. The excursion’s that Amawaterways offered in those ports were by far better. The excursions on the Bucharest to Budapest were for the most part unimpressive and required a lot of land travel getting to them. I believe read more that was pretty much the same impression I got from the other guest onboard. I appreciate the work of our advisor, Gesa, and Global Journeys' great communication throughout the whole process. I will utilize them again in the future for my travel plans.
Reflecting on my AmaWaterways river cruise, Wellness was an immersion on the AmaViola. Every detail filled my cup. The ease of movement on and off the ship through to the surprise gift on my bed, everything was a joy and relaxing. The variety in the off-ship excursions were diverse and suitable for all ages and flexibility. From biking and hiking to read more walking and shopping, I loved that it was all inclusive. There wasn't a time when I felt stressed or agitated which made me available to instantly soak up the culture, architecture, people, and experiences.
My Godmother, invited me onto an AmaWaterways River cruise from Amsterdam to Basel with her. As I’m currently living and working in France it was very easy to say yes to! She was concerned as I’m 23 that I might be a little bored. Nothing could be further from the truth. I loved it. Every day seemed to be better than the one before. There was so much read more to see and do. We did several of the free exercise classes on the ship, which was an unexpected part of the trip. And made us laugh at our bad coordination!
It was the first time we had spent so much time alone together, so it was a brilliant way to get to know each other more, without the rest of my family around. I loved getting to know my GodMama as a friend and not just my Mother’s friend. We did most of the shore excursions together, but there was one day where I decided to stay on the ship. It was a perfect way to have the pool to myself (we went in August 2025), whilst the ship sailed down the Rhine on the way to picking up everyone else after they finished their shore excursions. I play the piano, but since moving to France haven’t played at all, so I also spent an hour practicing whilst the staff were more than happy to listen to my rusty playing.
One thing that surprised me – the people on the ship know how to have a good time! The Music Trivia night was a highlight. We all laughed, danced and I surprised myself how much of the trivia I knew. The questions were from all decades, which made it very inclusive. I haven’t even mentioned the food! Delicious! And the service from the staff, was something this Au Pair won’t forget in a long time! I would highly recommend AmaWaterways to any age group. I have asked my GodMama to think of me next time she wants to cruise!

We had a wonderful time on board AmaWaterways. The memory of getting engaged and having the staff surprise us with a gorgeous cake still makes us smile. Maybe we need to go back on board for our honeymoon? AmaWaterways were so inclusive but also allowed us to be ourselves. We are a couple who don’t necessarily like to do all the shore excursions, but read more they were there if we wanted to do them. We are the couple who just like to wander off on our own and explore. It won’t be our last AmaWaterways cruise.
As a couple in our 40’s, we wanted to get away for Christmas. We’d done a river cruise with another company previously, but this time decided to do Provence with AmaWaterways. What an awesome trip! We met such great people and had some really unique experiences; truffle hunting, a food tasting tour of Avignon and even a ghost tour after dinner one night. read more We did a couple of the biking tours as well, which I would recommend to people. There was honestly something for everyone.
The food on board was incredible – especially the soups, which hit the spot on those chilly French winter days. We did the 3 nights in Paris before the cruise, which AmaWaterways arranged too. This made everything super easy. The Cruise Manager stayed with us the whole time, even arranging for our bags to go straight to the ship, whilst our small group took the train to Lyon together. Once we arrived in Lyon, we even did a cooking class, which was such a fun way to kick things off. We loved AmaWaterways so much, we have now booked to go with them on The Nile in 2026!
