This fall 🍂, I will be hosting a small group of just 13 travelers on the beautiful Rhine Castles & Swiss Alps river cruise with AmaWaterways, and I am often asked why I chose AmaWaterways over other river cruise lines.
✨The answer is simple: AmaWaterways consistently delivers an exceptional experience from the moment you step onboard.
Their ships are thoughtfully designed to host an average of just 156 guests, creating a more intimate and comfortable atmosphere. From included shore excursions led by local guides to onboard activities, specialty dining, wellness programs, and enriching cultural experiences, nearly everything is included.
One of my favorite features is the culinary experience. 🍽️AmaWaterways partners with local producers throughout Europe to bring authentic regional flavors to every meal. Guests also enjoy complimentary wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, mocktails, and NOW complimentary soda throughout the day. 🥤
Every stateroom includes thoughtful amenities such as a Nespresso coffee machine, plush bathrobes, spa-quality toiletries, hair dryer, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. Guests also receive reusable water bottles, access to bicycles for independent exploration, specialty coffee and tea stations available 24 hours a day, and an all-day menu of light bites in the lounge.
I also appreciate that final payment is not due until 90 days prior to departure, providing travelers with greater flexibility than many other river cruise lines.
As pioneers in river cruising, AmaWaterways continues to lead the industry through innovation, sustainability initiatives, and meaningful partnerships with the communities they visit.
Most importantly, every detail is thoughtfully considered. From the experienced Cruise Managers who accompany guests throughout their journey to the exceptional service onboard, AmaWaterways creates an experience that is truly special.
I cannot wait to experience the magic of the Rhine River, charming villages, storybook castles, and the breathtaking Swiss Alps with this wonderful group of travelers. Fall in Europe is going to be unforgettable! 🍂🚢
