A river cruise with AmaWaterways is not only about the destinations along the world’s rivers but also about the people guests can meet and the connections they can make along the way. From the moment they step on board, guests are welcomed by a diverse and friendly crew dedicated to providing world-class service. This distinction is the reason more guests return to AmaWaterways than any other cruise line, and it was one of the distinguishing factors that led Cruise Critic to name them Best River Cruise Line.

At the core of the river cruise experience are AmaWaterways’ exceptional Cruise Managers. These knowledgeable individuals are selected for their expertise, charisma and ability to provide personalized service. The Cruise Manager becomes a constant companion, guide and friend throughout the journey. They are available to offer recommendations, helpful tips, and most importantly, to ensure peace of mind as guests explore new destinations. This year, out of hundreds of applicants, AmaWaterways is proud to welcome 27 new Cruise Managers to their team as they continue to expand their fleet of ships.

The Cruise Managers and crew on board go above and beyond to enhance the guest experience. They take the time to get to know each individual, anticipating their needs before they even think to ask. Their passion for service is evident in every interaction, from the warm welcome as guests embark to the fond farewell as they depart.
AmaWaterways’ river cruises are also an opportunity for guests to engage in personal wellness activities. Most of their European ships feature a dedicated Wellness Host who leads complimentary exercise classes. These professionals are committed to helping guests achieve their wellness goals while having fun and nourishing the mind, body and spirit.
Their ships also feature fitness rooms with cardio and resistance training equipment. Here, guests can meet their fitness goals independently throughout their cruise. This dedication to wellness on the rivers makes AmaWaterways the Best River Cruise Line for Active Travelers, according to Cruise Critic.

There’s magic in Vienna on New Year’s Eve. It’s not just the twinkling lights, the bustling holiday markets, or the excitement of a new 365 days to look forward to—it’s the music that spills out in the streets on the last day of the year. Vienna is known as the capital of classical music, and during New Year’s Eve, the streets are filled with the sounds of Silvesterpfad, one of the largest New Year's Eve celebrations in Europe. People dance in the streets holding glasses of champagne alongside their friends and partners. Just before midnight, soft snowflakes fell and kissed our faces—I didn't want the magic I was feeling to come to an end.
