Every aspect of the trip surpassed our expectations: the itinerary, the excursions, the boat facilities, the excellent service, the food... We were especially impressed by how the Cruise Director, Dejan, and the Amaprima Captain creatively solved the many problems presented by high river waters while maintaining itinerary and schedule. If we can make a suggestion for change in itinerary, it would be to skip one or two of the stops in small towns along the Main and spend an extra day in Vienna.

We traveled in May on the AmaDante - Europes Rivers & Castles cruise from Paris to Prague. The staff, food, guides, excursions for the entire trip could not have been better. Ama staff met us at the airport in Paris and from there until to went through the security check point at the airport in Prague to leave - someone from Ama was with us at every point at the airports just in case a problem came up. Nothing did, but it was great to have someone who spoke the local language just in case. Per and post cruise (Paris and Prague) were great. At times we were on our own and at times we were on planned excursions. But whatever we were doing Ama staff were there to help. On the AmaDante Staff - super friendly, always smiling, couldn't do enough for you, yet they were not hovering over us - but seem to magically appear when you needed something. Food - I can't say enough about the food. The wait staff learned very quickly what you liked and didn't like and by the second day were bringing you what wanted before you even asked – amazing! I was also quite surprised at all the vegan and gluten free options there were at every meal. If you are vegan or gluten free you won't feel like you are missing out on great food. They looked so good I had some myself. Excursions – It was impossible to go on all of them. On one day I counted 7 different off boat excursions going every which way. But there were also people who just enjoyed staying on the boat for the cruise to the next stop while the excursions were off to castle, wine tasting or visiting a small village. I believe we could turn right around and take the same cruise again and have a very different experience just doing all the things we didn't have time for on our cruise. Entertainment – Something different every evening. I especially liked the historian that came on board for a lecture and the glass blowing demonstration was fascinating! Not to mention the musical entertainers who came aboard. And I especially loved that it was almost all inclusive. There were a couple of excursions that had a small extra charge, and there was a charge for drinks from the bar, but for the most part all the food, beer, wine, coffee, soda, etc. you could drink were included. And when we left the ship I was shocked at how little extra we had spent on the trip. On other cruises it was the other way around in that I had been shocked at how much extra we HAD spent (and were billed for). Other cruise lines seem to nickel and dime you at every turn and it adds up very quickly – but not on an AMA cruise. Well – what else can I say other than we are already planning our next AmaWaterways cruise. Will it be the south of France? A cruise down the Danube? Perhaps Spain or the Douro? Whatever we pick I know we’ll have a great time.

Wonderful cruise, excellent service, so much fun.

In a crowded open seating environment Katrina blocked us from seating on a table she was reserving for some other guests, consequently she ruined our dinner and possibly the trip. Overall me and my wife were very please with everything else during the trip.

Is very difficult to find anything to complain about Food excellent, excursions interesting and well thought out, local guides on this one very good, excellent housekeeping sll over the ship, personalized attention, nicely efficient cabins (excellent use made of all space within cabin), latte machine on board forward and aft made my day 😀, bikes a huge plus on board,

Every thing top drawer.

Our needs were special - both of us use walkers or wheelchairs. Ama accommodated us well and lots of special attention. The tulip garden in Amsterdam was beautiful and we did that with one of us pushing the other in a wheelchair. Ama arranged taxis in places where walking was planned. The Amacerto was a lovely ship; the service was beyond compare and our cabin with a patio was exquisite.

I have traveled all over the world on cruise lines but I had never heard of a river cruise. I loved it. It was with out a doubt the best cruise I have ever been on. The smaller ship allowed so many more people to meet each other and I have maintained several friendships from people I met on the ship. I left the cruise with such a feeling of exhilaration I hadn't ever had on any other trip. Everyone should experience this wonderful adventure.
