Find answers to some of the most common questions about river cruising here.
AmaWaterways always offer vegetarian and vegan options on board all our vessels, plus our gourmet chefs will cater for allergies and intolerances for individual passengers – just let us know when you book.
That’s tricky to answer as every river is unique, and each passenger is looking for something different. However, our booking data suggests that the Rhine, Danube, Moselle, Nile and Mekong are the most popular river choices. Reading about other people’s experiences can help you make a more informed choice about which river cruise will be best for you.
Definitely not! The rivers we sail are calm bodies of water, and our ships experience no waves or rocking motions – the primary cause of seasickness. Our vessels also move along at a gentle pace, and you can always see land on both sides of the river, removing any additional anxiety for those who may get worried out on the open water.
While we offer a wide range of interesting excursions, passengers are always welcome to explore on their own. We will be happy to provide you with a map of each port at our reception desk, and you will find the city’s highlights marked. Your Cruise Manager can also help recommend restaurants, shops, museums, bars and more. In addition, you may choose to reserve a complimentary bicycle to explore further along the river or in any port city. Just be sure to check your Daily Cruiser onboard newsletter to ensure you are back on board the ship before it departs for the next port. On very select rivers and itineraries, the Personal Audio Device we use for shore excursions can also be used for your individual exploration, as pre-recorded commentary may be available based on your current GPS location. Your Cruise Manager can explain more about this.
Plan to pack casually elegant attire; and something a little dressier to wear to the Captain’s Dinner or an evening concert. Bring comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions and one pair of formal shoes. You may travel through different climates and altitudes, so layering is advisable. Europe can be quite warm in the summer, so short sleeve shirts, shorts, skirts, sundresses and a wide-brimmed hat are good items to pack. Bring a raincoat, a warm sweater for chilly evenings, especially in spring and autumn, and warmer clothing and a heavy coat for winter cruises. If you plan on participating in our complimentary wellness activities, remember to bring comfortable workout clothing, such as yoga pants or bike shorts. If it rains on your river cruise, each vessel has complementary umbrellas available onshore.
The best time to go on a river cruise depends on the destination. Generally, summer is the most popular season for European river cruises, as temperatures are mild and attractions like castles and churches are open to visitors. Check with your booking adviser about the climate and weather for your travel dates.
AMAWaterways offers cruises on a variety of stunning rivers around the world that you can find and book right here with Crui.se, including the Danube, Rhine, Nile, Rhone, Seine, Duoro, Moselle and Mekong Rivers.
On an AMAWaterways cruise, you’ll be delighted to know that complimentary Wi-Fi is available onboard. So, fear not about staying connected while you embark on your unforgettable river adventure. Share the magic of your journey with loved ones and capture every cherished moment as you sail along the beautiful waterways. Happy cruising!
