 Ama Rhine

Oceans take you to countries. Rivers take you through them. 

 
An Ama Waterways river cruise is a storybook you open, where each day, you fill the page with a unique adventure. Step aboard your luxury floating boutique hotel, unpack once, and prepare yourself for the magic that comes with sailing through the heart of your destination -- grand capitals and charming villages alike. The slower pace of river cruising means you have more free time in port to explore. On a river cruise, you don't just pass through a destination -- you experience it with all your senses. Each sailing is crafted with one goal in mind: to connect you to the essence of life in each place you visit.
 
Wine TastingSpecial interest tours are designed to give small groups the chance to be even more immersed in a destination, and each one is included in the price of your river cruise. You might try your hand at knotting a bretzel (German for "pretzel") in Wertheim, Germany, or discover hidden treasures on a tour of Vienna, Austria's secret spots and sights. Perhaps indulge in Belgian waffles and chocolate in Antwerp or go to a bratwurst and beer tasting at the oldest brewery in Nuremberg, Germany. The choice is yours. You might also choose to join an exclusive guided bike tour along enchanting riverside pathways or in city centers. Gain a unique perspective and experience the beauty of Europe as you venture out into nature on a guided hiking tour.
 
 
When you're ready to rejoin the ship, take a dip in the sun-deck pool or whirlpool, participate in a wellness activity, relax with a soothing massage or simply watch the scenery go by with a glass of wine in hand. Your ship is a means of luxury transportation from destination to destination. With fewer guests on board, the luxurious amenities abound. There are also opportunities to immerse yourself in authentic local culture on board. Nightly evening entertainment includes musicians, folkloric dancers and storytellers who live and work in the cities you sail to and are happy to share their cultural traditions and talents with you.
 
PRIMA WineTastingRoomIn addition to luxurious staterooms, an array of amenities, and a world of exploration, enjoy award-winning dining with regionally inspired cuisine and locally sourced ingredients. A Welcome Cocktail, Welcome Dinner, La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Dinner, Captain's Cocktail and Gala Dinner are all included during the cruise, as well as unlimited fine wine, beer, soft drinks or fresh juices at lunch and dinner. A Sip & Sail cocktail hour, as well as tapas, sandwiches, snacks and refreshments are offered daily.
