Pros: The crew was outstanding! They anticipated our every need. Our cruise manager, Ilko Dimitrov, was exceptional. His communication, organization, and problem-solving were exceptional. He went above and beyond to make this cruise relaxing and worry-free for all the passengers. We will look for an opportunity to do another cruise with Ilko! We appreciated the wellness programming and the different activity level options of the excursions. The local guides on the excursions were knowledgeable and entertaining. We especially enjoyed the guided bike tour of Strasbourg and the onboard wellness classes. Finally, we really enjoyed meeting the other passengers and we made some lifelong friends.
Cons: It would have been nice to have more time in Cologne to get more of a feel for that city.

Amawaterways does great job. But, I must say that at times the dining room and the lounge got so loud it was uncomfortable and you felt like you ended up yelling to be heard.
Pros: Rooms
Cons: Lounge very loud when ship full & lounge filled

This was a long awaited journey and a milestone trip for my mother. As her daughter, we traveled together. The cruise itinerary, excursions, ship amenities menu and the staff themselves offered key advantages for both she and I. The AmaSerena is a beautiful ship! Along the Rhine, we would see other Ama Waterways ships on similar routes, but we would also see other cruise line's ships. Each time, when we passed by or parked along side it was obvious we were aboard the finer vessel. With the finer crew. And the finer meals. The AmaSerena docked in interesting places. On the first day I was able to map the docking address to meet a business colleague that lives in Basel. All I had to do was walk up an outdoor staircase to meet my friend at a popular outdoor gathering place at the top of a hill. The stops are logical and mostly easy to work with if you have additional aspirations. LOVED viewing the castles from the Sun Deck on "Castle Day" sailing through the gorge! And the double veranda at our room. The only things I would change are in the individual rooms. The air conditioning in the bathroom was sometimes difficult and the beds need a little upgrade.
Pros: Beautiful ship, wonderful crew, terrific itinerary ... high value in every aspect
Cons: bathroom air conditioning

Our cruise along the Rhine River on the AmaSerena was awesome. Our captain, Eddy, cruise manager Nemanja and the entire crew were wonderful. We look forward to another cruise on the AmaWaterways cruise line.
Pros: Great service, food and staterooms
Cons: None

We have enjoyed many ocean cruises. The first AmaWaterway’s cruise we took was in 2018. I couldn’t wait to go on another. There’s a max of 168 passengers. The lounge is comfortable and is a meeting place for updates on the next days excursions. Excursions are covered in the cost of the cruise. Beer, wine and alcohol are served in the lounge. Beer and wine are free at lunch and dinner and all drinks are covered during happy hour, the hour before dinner. The staff are very professional and friendly. It’s a wonderful experience!
Pros: Fewer passengers, great food, amazing staff
Cons: Transatlantic travel

My daughter and I enjoyed this cruise. The ship and our room was spacious and clean. The crew and staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and the cuisine served was linked to whichever country we were visiting at the time. We liked all of the ports. Our least favorite was Cologne, Germany. It was very loud, busy, somewhat dirty, and there was a lot of construction to maneuver around. All of the other ports were awesome - no complaints! I would cruise on Ama Waterways again. My daughter is only 23 years old and was by far the youngest person on the trip. She would prefer a trip with at least a few travelers closer to her age.
Pros: Wonderful itinerary
Cons:
