This summer, elevate your vacation experience with award-winning AmaWaterways. Offering a seamless blend of unparalleled luxury, authentic cultural experiences and unrivaled service, AmaWaterways cruises are the perfect way to uncover the heart of Europe during the sunniest season with itineraries that glide along the continent’s most iconic rivers, including the Danube, the Rhine, the Seine and the Douro.

One of the greatest benefits of cruising with AmaWaterways in the summer is the opportunity to enjoy the destinations along the rivers at their most vibrant. Longer daylight hours mean more time to explore picturesque towns, verdant vineyards and iconic landmarks. Picture yourself sipping a cocktail on the Sun Deck as you glide past rolling hills and historic castles, or strolling through one of the continent’s lively capitals, such as Paris or Budapest, along illuminated streets on warm summer evenings.

On board, you’ll experience the height of luxury, as AmaWaterways’ fleet is renowned for its spacious, thoughtfully designed ships that welcome an average of just 156 guests per sailing. Enjoy regionally inspired cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients, each meal complemented by wines sourced from the regions you’re visiting. Whether taking a leisurely dip in the pool or enjoying evening entertainment in the lounge, you’ll find the atmosphere as relaxing as it is enriching.
