Captivating Rhine 2 Captivating Rhine , New Zealand, Aug 2026
We had an absolutely wonderful time on AmaWaterways, even with the unfortunate itinerary changes. The way in which this was handled was very professional and extremely well organised. We were never left wondering what was happening or what the plans would be for the next part of our journey. These things happen and I am a firm believer in the most important read more thing being how you handle it and AmaWaterways handled it very very well. Once on board, it didn’t matter that things had changed, as we were kept busy with walking tours, great guides around some beautiful towns and seeing first hand how low the water levels were in places, made us realise the company has done a great job to make sure we still had a great holiday. We look forward to starting to plan our next journey!
Enchanting Rhine 2 Enchanting Rhine , QLD, Australia, Jul 2026
We had a great time and were very impressed with AmaWaterways. They were a wonderful company to travel with, but also to deal with in general. We had an itinerary change which was a little disappointing (missing the castles on the Rhine), however we were particularly impressed with how AmaWaterways handled the itinerary change and the problem with the read more low water levels. Especially with their communication and getting a future cruise credit on top of our trip. We were originally booked with another company, but as they cancelled completely due to the water levels, we had to find an alternative at the last minute. We’d never heard of AmaWaterways before this. The comparison between how the changes were handled is extraordinary. AmaWaterways handled it with professionalism, concern, even an apology on top of the future cruse credit. We will be using our Future cruise credit for another AmaWaterways trip for sure.
Colours of Provence 2 Colors of Provence (Christmas) , QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
Just a note to say a big thank you! I am back from my holiday on AMAKristina on the Colours of Provence sailing. Wow - what an amazing experience. I can't speak highly enough of the crew and ship which was beautifully decorated for Christmas. One third of the passengers were repeat guests with AMA and all who we spoke to were coming back because read more of the crew and seamless travel experience they have had with AMA. That spoke volumes to us. We will be one of those couples too, as they were so fantastic. Getting to do the Christmas Markets, as well as the variety of shore excursions, without having to pay any extra was fabulous. My favourite was the Truffle Hunting – with tastings – after! Those dogs are so clever! Thanks for arranging such a great trip.
French Xmas Cruise with Ama 3 Colors of Provence , Florida, United States, Dec 2024
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!
