Take a guided excursion or instantly blend in with daily life.

Discover the World’s Most Scenic Waterways

Over the course of your journey, you’ll find yourself surrounded by rolling vineyards, hilltop castles and time-honored cities. Vibrant locales not accessible by sea or that can take hours to reach by motor coach are up close and personal on a river cruise.

With river vessels accommodating a mere 150 passengers, you will never wait in a long line to board or disembark. Smaller tours and intimate meal settings with open seating create a warm, personal atmosphere accentuated by five-star service. Your inclusive vacation provides incredible, value from the champagne breakfast and free-flowing hand-selected European wines with lunch and dinner to a fleet of bicycles, free Internet access, included sightseeing excursions and live cultural entertainment on board. On a river cruise, your vacation’s price tag doesn’t keep adding up.

Constant, soft-flowing river waters are always peaceful and smooth, so leave any fears of motion sickness behind. Take a dip in the pool or sink into the bubbling whirlpool, get pampered with decadent spa services or enjoy live music in the lounge.

Interested in a Safari in Africa?

How about a river cruise on the Chobe River in Africa on the Zambezi Queen to go along with that land safari tour? Take a look at this slide show from my friend Kristen’s trip to Africa.

AmaWaterways has a reputation for pioneering exceptional, award-winning river cruises around the globe. In 2011, after cruising most of the world’s major waterways, President Rudi Schreiner explored the Chobe River along the border of Botswana and Namibia in southern Africa. He had never before experienced such a unique and life-changing river as the Chobe, which supports a wide array of plant and animal life and is the main source of water to the greatest concentration of elephants on earth. Experience a safari like no other with our splendid cruise-and-land programs, each featuring a four-night river safari aboard the Zambezi Queen and two nights at the legendary Victoria Falls, one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World.”
