Why We Love AmaWaterways: River Cruising That Redefines Luxury and Connection
Cindi Sanden
At Awaken Travels, we don’t partner with every cruise line. We choose the ones that reflect our philosophy—those that combine luxury with authenticity, and adventure with ease.
That’s why we’re so proud to work with AmaWaterways, one of the world’s most beloved river cruise lines.
When our clients sail with AmaWaterways, they’re not just passengers on a ship. They’re welcomed like family, guided by experts who know how to make each moment effortless and extraordinary.
🛥️ Why AmaWaterways Wins Our Hearts (and Our Clients’)
River cruising with AmaWaterways feels like the perfect balance between discovery and comfort. Each journey moves at a graceful pace, gliding past storybook villages, vineyard-covered hillsides, and centuries-old castles—without the stress of unpacking and repacking.
Here’s what sets AmaWaterways apart:
1. Intimate Luxury, Thoughtfully Designed
Their ships carry fewer guests than most river cruise lines, meaning more space, more personalized service, and a quieter, more refined onboard experience. Suites with twin balconies let you enjoy both fresh air and a panoramic view—morning coffee over the Danube, sunset over the Rhône.
2. A True Taste of Place
Each meal tells the story of the region you’re sailing through. Fresh local ingredients, complimentary wine and beer at lunch and dinner, and recipes inspired by the lands you explore—it’s an immersive culinary journey that rivals the finest restaurants ashore.
3. Enrichment Without Effort
Daily excursions are included—and they’re not one-size-fits-all. Guests can choose between gentle walks, active bike rides, or deep cultural tours guided by locals who bring each destination to life. Onboard, wellness hosts lead yoga and fitness sessions for those who like to balance indulgence with intention.
4. Thoughtful Hospitality
AmaWaterways is family-founded and family-run, and it shows. Every staff member seems to know your name by the second day. Small gestures—a favorite wine refilled, a perfectly timed cappuccino—turn a beautiful vacation into something personal.
