Boutique Ships with a View
Forget massive ocean liners – AmaWaterways' intimate vessels carry just 156 guests, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere where staff know your name by day two. Their award-winning fleet features spacious staterooms where thoughtful design maximizes both comfort and views. Many rooms boast innovative twin balconies – a French balcony for gentle breezes and a full outside balcony for morning coffee as medieval castles drift by.
Culinary Journeys
As members of prestigious La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, AmaWaterways takes dining seriously.

Premium beverages flow freely during meals – no surprise bills at journey's end.
Beyond the Ordinary
Each day brings thoughtfully crafted excursions designed for different interests and activity levels. Cycle through fragrant lavender fields in Provence, join a local chef for a cooking class in Vienna, or simply stroll through charming villages at your own pace. Onboard wellness programs, including morning stretches on the Sun Deck and guided bike tours, balance indulgence with active discovery.
