Sights that should not be missed include: The Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. Visit any of the many others according to your tastes and interests: the Musee Picasso, Musee Rodin, Musee Carnavalet, Musee Marmottan and the Arab Institute are just a few. Essential Paris monuments are the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe or the Grande Arche de la Defense. | ||

| Honfleur | Monday, Sep 29, 2025 | Monday, Sep 29, 2025 |
| The peaceful setting of the picturesque port of Honfleur along the estuary of the Seine attracted many artists and writers over the years, including Impressionist Painters. Throughout its history, numerous maritime journeys were initiated from Honfleur. It's a place of great historic charm, notably around the Vieux Bassin, where lofty slate-and-timber fronted houses overlook the colorful yacht and fishing harbor, and sloping cobbled streets recall 16th century Honfleur. Not to be missed are the 15th century wooden church and the Impressionist paintings of the Musee Eugene Boudin. From here it is possible to visit Monet's Garden, Arromanches, the Normandy Landing Beaches and if there is time, Paris. | ||

| Caudebec-en-Caux | Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025 | Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025 |
| Caudebec-en-Caux is located on the right bank of the river Seine. The chief architectural interest of the town is its church, which dates back to the 15th and early 16th centuries. Other interesting buildings in the town are the Maison des Templiers (The Templars' House) from the 12th century, which now features a small museum of local archeology and history; a former prison from the 14th century, and the Hôtel de ville which was built around 1800. | ||
| Rouen | Wednesday, Oct 01, 2025 | Wednesday, Oct 01, 2025 |
| Settled by the Celts, Rouen really flourished in the Middle Ages. In a natural amphitheater on the Seine, the capital of Normandy is important as a commercial and cultural center. Today the city is a blend of ancient and modern. Rouen is known as the City of a Hundred Spires; many of its important edifices are churches. The most magnificent one is the Cathedral of Notre Dame, a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture immortalized in Claude Monet's series "Cathedrales de Rouen." Surrounding the large square are picturesque half-timbered houses with steeply pointed roofs. The wealth of architectural treasures and the ambience of Rouen’s historic center will impress any visitor. Exploring the narrow, cobbled streets in the old quarter is a must. The giant clock above the archway spanning the Rue du Gros Horloge is a focal point and famous emblem. Rouen is connected to the sea by the Seine Valley. The city serves as a starting point for trips to Paris and to Norman castles and abbeys. | ||
| Vernon (Giverny) | Thursday, Oct 02, 2025 | Thursday, Oct 02, 2025 |
| At the gateway to Normandy, 75 km from Paris and 60 km from Rouen, the village of Giverny (pronounced Jee-va-nyee) is located on the right bank of the River Seine, at its confluence with one of the two branches of the River Epte lined with willows and poplars. But Giverny rises to fame in 1883 when the painter Claude Monet discovered the village whilst looking out of the train window (the line has since closed down). Monet was enthusiastic about the spot. He found a large house to rent, "the Press House". By the end of April he had moved in with Alice Hoschedé, his lady-friend, his two sons and her six children. The house was a farmhouse with a vegetable garden and an orchard of over one hectare. At the time there were about 300 inhabitants in Giverny, most of them farmers, and a few middle-class families. The village consists of two streets on the hillside lined with low houses in a pink or green roughcast with slate roofs, their walls covered with wisteria and Virginia creeper. These streets are crossed by narrow lanes running down the hill. The Claude Monet Road runs straight to the village. The "Chemin du Roy" (Secondary Road 5) follows the banks of the River Epte. Claude Monet's house lies between the two roads. | ||

Pros: Ship, crew, food, tours, ambiance, passengers
Cons: Only 3 nights of actual entertainment
Review: This was my second AMA river cruise. The crew both times was wonderful - warm, friendly, welcoming, and always looking for ways to make you more comfortable. The passengers who choose AMA seem to also be very predictable - down to earth, friendly, real people. The tours were all fun and they make everything accessible for all abilities- "gentle" walkers, hikers, cyclists. Food was great and they can alter your menu for any issue you might have.
This is the second time we sailed on the AmaDante, and this time it was a different river. It looks brand new and everything is just perfect. The food and breakfast buffet were outstanding, and their laundry service saved us from packing a lot
Pros: This is the second time we sailed on the AmaDante, and this time it was a different river. It looks brand new and everything is just perfect. The food and breakfast buffet were outstanding, and their laundry service saved us from packing a lot
Cons: Absolutely none
Review: The staff is so friendly and attentive to every detail.
Staff was amazing! Food was fantastic! Excursions were meaningful! The logistics and ship were wonderful!!
Pros: Staff was amazing! Food was fantastic! Excursions were meaningful! The logistics and ship were wonderful!!
Cons: None!
Review: This was the first river cruise for our group of 8 friends (four couples). The whole experience far exceeded our expectations. The planning, logistics, cabins/staterooms, food, drinks, staff, countryside, excursions, activities, and every single detail were all amazing! We would highly recommend this and we are grateful we were able to experience it!
the staff was so helpful and friendly, I loved that they had a baker on the ship. The bread and pastries were sooo good
Pros: the staff was so helpful and friendly, I loved that they had a baker on the ship. The bread and pastries were sooo good
Cons: we were at the back of the ship and the engine noise was a little bothersome. There were several ports that we did not get to enjoy because all the shops were closed for the holiday
Review: I can't imagine that the food could be any better on a different cruise line. It was so relaxing we enjoyed getting to know the staff that took such good care of us.
Great Staff and Cruise Director
Pros: Great Staff and Cruise Director
Cons: Top Deck mostly closed for low bridges
Review: The AmaDante team were excellent. Friendly, helpful, and they clearly noticed and took care of the details to keep things running smoothly and to take care of the guests. This was our first cruise of any kind, so we weren't sure what to expect. They did a great job of keeping us informed, keeping us comfortable and well fed, and they made the travel experience very easy. As a traveler that likes to DIY it, I did think the ratio of shore time to ship time was lower than I would like. We did the pre-cruise and post-cruise extensions, which made this better. But all things considered, I would recommend AmaWaterways anytime.
Abel Ramos was amazing as the activities director. The captain was very involved with his crew as was Sonia the hotel manager.
Pros: Abel Ramos was amazing as the activities director. The captain was very involved with his crew as was Sonia the hotel manager.
Cons: No Cons
Review: I think the massage that I had was amazing, done by Vladimir, and that opportunity should have been promoted more than by just a flyer in the room. I was motivated by the reports that came back and would have probably would have done it again. I liked that there were different levels of walking groups so everyone seemed to be in their own comfort zone.
Great ship. Room was more spacious than I imagined. Lots of storage space to put away all possessions. Ship was spotless. Food was great. Crew very accommodating and friendly. Loved the time on deck as we went down the Danube. The views at night leaving Budapest are etched in my memory forever. Our tour guide, Edward, was excellent. Ihotels were superior and great locations.
