Overview

"Dolce" means sweet in Italian, and you will be living the sweet life on AmaDolce. Staterooms, festooned with comforting tones of caramel and honey, are filled with complimentary bath products and a cloud-like bed. If you can tear yourself away from that bed, your French balcony awaits, opening your room to the refreshing river breeze and breathtaking scenery.

Meals, enjoyed in the Main Restaurant or The Chef's Table, will transport your taste buds onto the shores of the very rivers you cruise on an AmaWaterways gastronomic journey of a lifetime.

We really like that Ama offers up to 3 different activities everyday in ports, and especially that they are included in the price of the trip.

Pros: Great itinerary. Very good and knowledgeable local guides. Immaculate ship. Well organized every day with guests coming and going on different day tours.

Cons: Most of the meals were very good, but as seafood eaters, we were disappointed in the daily fish dinners offered. They were not very flavorful and grilled fish was never an option. The meat dishes, however, were very good. All staff members were polite and efficient, but some front desk and dining room servers were not as friendly as we have experienced on our 3 other Ama cruises.

We want to thank Ioana Dulcea for a wonderful tour of the Loire Valley. Our guide Simon's presentation was very interesting and he brought life to the many castles. We highly recommend using him again for the Loire Valley tour. We loved the castle we stayed in and the meal that was planned at the restaurant. Ioana was fun to be with and she is very knowledgable about the local customs and food. Was very special to have a private tour with her and AMA is very lucky to employ her as a cruise director she is wonderful and other passengers had the same appreciation for her as well. Our pre tour was also well planned and Ioana helped break it up with local cookies and stories. We look forward to our next AMA river cruise and would be very happy to have Ioana as our cruise director again. Thank you Ioana for everything!!!

Pros: Cruise director- Ioana , excursions, crew, chiefs table, pre & post excursions and small boat.

Have sailed with Ama on several occasions. Each time we notice small but significant upgrades. This time, tighter security aboard ship, a happy hour called Sip n Sail, and highlighted menu items such as seafood of the region

Pros: Great attention to passengers by staff
