Captivating Rhine
Beginning in Amsterdam, Netherlands and ending in Basel, Switzerland, AmaWaterways’ Captivating Rhine river cruise gives you an all-access pass to fabled, picturesque towns and the most legendary landscapes of Europe. Enveloped by vineyard-clad hills, the Rhine meanders through France’s alluring Alsace region, its capital of Strasbourg, and its sparkling jewel, Riquewihr.
Discover and revel in the German cities of Breisach and Freiburg, the latter of which is the gateway to the renowned Black Forest. You’ll be delighted to try Rüdesheimer coffee and Kölsch beer, local flavors of considerable acclaim. Guided hikes and bike tours take you directly into the heart of these cities where you can explore the cobblestone streets and narrow alleys with abandon.
The Luxury of Space
AmaWaterways’ award-winning ships offer the luxury of space while accommodating an average of just 150 guests. This allows for freedom of movement on the vessel, the security of knowing that safety is paramount, and no possibility of overcrowding. You’ll be surprised how refreshing it is to move through the landings and rooms freely.
Ships of Prestige
AmaWaterways proudly debuted two beautiful new ships in Europe this year, AmaSiena and AmaLucia. Both of these are twin-balcony ships and have already been awarded prestigious Green Award certification for industry-leading safety, quality, and environmental performance. Enjoy peace of mind knowing you are on a high-quality vessel that will safely carry you through days of fun, rest and relaxation in luxury.

There’s something for every type of traveler on the cruise. Whether you want to explore fairy-tale hamlets or capital cities of grandeur, go on active hikes or bike rides, enjoy gentle walks during city tours, or delight your taste buds with culinary-themed Special Interest Tours, you have the freedom of choice. Choose between a jam-packed schedule, a more relaxing, slow-paced experience or something in between – it’s all entirely up to you.
