Though Europe’s gorgeous architecture and landmarks capture plenty of travelers’ hearts, many of the most beautiful places in Europe can’t be found within city limits. Some things can only be seen when you venture out into nature, so AmaWaterways designed guided hikes that take you off the beaten path and into the places that will leave you breathless. With Nordic walking sticks provided on board and hiking guides eager to show you their favorite destinations, you’ll fall in love with Europe’s natural beauty.

Go beyond the usual walking tour and take in the sights on a bicycle tour to experience Europe’s enchanting scenery up close. AmaWaterways carries a fleet of complimentary bicycles and helmets on board, so you can venture further into your destinations. Take out a bike for a carefree ride of your own or join one of AmaWaterways’ exclusive guided tours to find the hidden gems and local favorites. You can go on up to nine included bike tours or up to five included hikes on a single 7-night river cruise, so get ready to get active.

Reconnect with nature and relish in the fresh air and sunshine that brightens any AmaWaterways journey. Whether you’re stopping to smell the wildflowers on a guided hike, admiring unforgettable views on a scenic bike ride, or going on a special excursion like truffle hunting in Avignon, you’ll find an endless array of outdoor adventures to enjoy. On board, you’re free to relax on the spacious Sun Deck for panoramic views of each charming destination as you cruise by.

From invigorating fitness classes led by a professionally trained Wellness Host to healthy locally sourced cuisine, AmaWaterways ensures every guest can enhance their best self while cruising the world’s rivers. Every journey includes a variety of exercise classes, a fitness room with state-of-the-art equipment, a Sun Deck with a walking track and pool, a Hydration Station with infused water, and healthy choices at every meal, including gluten-free, low-sodium and vegetarian dishes. Finally, take a rejuvenating massage to unwind after a long day of active excursions, and get some rest before you head out on tomorrow’s adventure.
