Europe changes beautifully along the rivers. In spring, the season arrives in color. Gardens reopen, tulips reach their brief peak and riverside towns begin to fill with markets, café tables and fresh local ingredients. It is a wonderful time for travelers who like to be outside. Walk through historic streets without the height of summer heat, bike beside the river, taste seasonal dishes or spend the afternoon in a garden that only looks this way for a few weeks each year. Summerbrings its own kind of ease. The days are longer and the evenings are warmer. It is the season for open-air cafés, vineyard views, small towns, relaxed moments on the Sun Deck and traveling with friends or family. With AmaWaterways, both seasons come with choices. Join a guided walk, take a bike ride, hike to a scenic viewpoint, taste regional wines or enjoy free time in town. Each day has room for the kind of traveler you are.

What You Get on an AmaWaterways Ship
Smaller Ships, Different Access — AmaWaterways ships carry an average of 156 guests, which lets them dock in town centers that larger ocean or river ships can’t reach. In Vilshofen, Germany, that includes access to a year-round Oktoberfest event.
Sun Deck with a Pool — Every ship has a heated pool or whirlpool on the Sun Deck, with drink service, for open-air time while sailing past castles and vineyards.
Meals Included, No Upcharge — All meals are included, along with at least one specialty dining experience and the Robert Kellerhals Signature Dinner in Journeys Restaurant.
Multiple Experiences Options per Stop — At most ports, you can choose from up to six included Onshore Experiences — walking tours, guided hikes or bike rides — so people traveling together don’t have to pick the same activity.
Laundry Service Available — Useful in warm weather if you want to pack lighter and do a load partway through the trip.
