Mum and I loved our AmaWaterways trip. We enjoyed everything and we are now looking back on the photos and reliving our trip, it was very special. I was a bit nervous about our cabin being on the lowest level, with only fixed windows, but the only downside was being woken up by the crew going to work, this cabin was right by the crew access door. The read more cabin was beautifully decorated, bedding was lovely and the cabin was kept very clean. Interactive tv was great, bow cam and account information was great along with a whole range of movies if you wanted to relax in the cabin.
Fantastic, amazing food, helps to have an Indonesian head chef! The range and the presentation was excellent. The wine was great and it changed to the theme of the area we were in. We had wine tasting in Rüdesheim and then the wine that evening was from the winery we had to been to that day – fantastic idea. We had our night in the chefs table restaurant, amazing, fantastic , perfect menu. And they had made Mum a cake for her birthday which was so lovely.
The entertainment was varied and for the most part good but to be honest at the end of a day busy with Sightseeing and wine drinking, most people were early to bed. We had an issue one night when a Trio were playing for us, 2 Violins and a Guitar, seemed an odd combination but it worked really well and we enjoyed the performance, however it was slightly ruined by a group that were in the lounge, but didn’t want to listen to the performance and I think the fact that on this boat there was only one main sitting area, I suspect the ‘second’ sitting area is now the Chefs table. There was a library area but it was connected to the main lounge.
I loved the fact that the crew were multinational, Indonesians, Indian, Romanians, Bulgarians, Burmese, Cambodian, Serbians – it was fantastic, made it interesting to talk to the crew. Everyone was friendly and very efficient. The guests on board were a mix, but mostly US but there were also 31 Canadien, 2 New Zealand, 2 Australian and 2 South African, we did meet some US passengers who were a bit disappointed that there were so many US passengers and that they had booked AMA instead of Viking in the hope they there were more international passengers.
I loved the fact that AmaWaterways were promoting and supporting business’s and musicians along the rivers, the Violin/Guitar trio had been supported by AMA waterways to record their music and the Winery we stopped at in Rüdesheim were connected as well to AmaWaterways, very impressive. Mum and I had an amazing cruise and in part this was down to one crew member, the cruise director, probably the most impressive cruise director I have ever seen in action, I hope that Ama Waterways is paying him enough money to stay with the company, Namanja Varadjanin is his name, he was Mr everywhere, tours, at his desk, at the briefings, he was a very fine gentlemen to all the guests onboard and everything ran like clockwork.

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!
