Offramp

Overview

Designed with soft colors and ideal for relaxation, AmaSonata is one of the best ways to cruise down the rivers of Europe. Featured in most staterooms on board are AmaWaterways' twin balconies, which give passengers the option of a French or traditional balcony by simply equipping rooms with both options. This allows guests to enjoy the scenic banks from the comfort of their luxurious stateroom. The luxury continues with the white table cloths and 5-star cuisine at The Chef's Table, where an open kitchen puts you in the middle of the action while your meal is prepared!

Pros: Amasonata staff covered every detail perfectly, all day everyday we were treated like family

Cons: Only that our cruise had to end

I highly recommend AMAWaterways and the Melodies of the Danube itinerary in particular. Not only were the tours great, the kitchen and wait staff made mealtimes a gourmet experience. The food was outstanding and offerings each day included local dishes form the region we were visiting. Also, the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job of keeping the rooms and bathrooms spotless and neat. This is my second AMA cruise, but it won’t be my last! The quality that AMAWaterways offers is more than several other companies that charge much higher rates than AMAWaterways does.

Pros: The cruise director was excellent and was very accessible for answering questions. Each tour was well organized and details were made clear ahead of time. There were several options for tours each day so the trip could be customized for individual preferences.

Cons: None

Lovely trip. Ship is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and service is outstanding. This trip I was on the second deck, well toward the stern, compared to the third deck on my previous cruises. I did note more engine noise and vibration but it wasn't an issue. Actually, it was pretty soothing. And there was no noticeable noise from the deck above. My only issue is, as a solo traveler, waivers and extras are hit and miss, even for a repeat customer. My travel advisor was able to pursue an upgrade but still, there were several empty cabins on this sailing so the line was a little stingy as far as I'm concerned.

Pros: Small size and staff:guest ratio makes for intimate service

Cons: Cabin placement relative to engine noise

This was an unbelievable 10 days trip. Yes we had to change itinerary a bit due to low water on the Danube, but the changes made by the cruise director were great . Tough job to change itinerary on such short notice and still make the excursions perfect. We probably will never go back to a large ship again after doing this cruise. It's very personable. You get to know pretty much every staff member on the ship on a personal basis. Ama was a great company to do the cruise with also and we probably will not even try one of the others when this was already so great. Dejan was such a great cruise director. We would love to do another cruise with him. We already put down a deposit for our next cruise with Ama.

Pros: Loved the small group of 156 people on board the ship. Loved the fact that 90 of those people were on the pre 3 day excursion in Prague, so we met many people that were on our cruise before we started. Loved that the Cruise director spent the 3 days in prague with us. Loved everything about the cruise

Cons: None
