Next, step right off the ship into the heart of an Old-World capital or storybook village. Alongside an intimate group of kindred travelers, your local guide will regale you with the tales of kings and queens, renowned composers, great explorers, and so much more as you walk, pedal, or hike to fascinating castles, cathedrals, vineyards, and beyond. Later in the evening and back onboard, be whisked away to a complimentary Sip & Sail cocktail hour and treated to an exceptional multi-course dinner before an evening of live entertainment awaits. With itineraries available in Europe, Egypt, and Asia as well as five once-in-a-lifetime African Safaris and Wildlife Cruises, the only trouble you may have is choosing where to go next. 

Delights along the Danube River 

AmaWaterways’ heritage on the Danube River shines through on their specially designed itineraries of this legendary river. From castles and capitals to vistas and villages, the Danube River connects some of Europe's most remarkable sites across ten countries and four national capitals.  

From the Melodies of the Danube and Celebration of Classical Music: The Danube itineraries, with their emphasis on sites of inspiration for poets, artists, and musicians, to the regal Legendary Danube and historical Blue Danube Discovery itineraries, AmaWaterways has curated a plethora of itineraries that explore this region from every perspective. Along these expertly crafted river cruise journeys, you can even enjoy exclusive excursions that you can only experience on an AmaWaterways sailing. Guests can take in a signature Bavarian Oktoberfest celebration complete with beer, pretzels, and live music when in Vilshofen, and tour Austria’s distinctive Greinburg Castle in the city it is named after. 

Among all of AmaWaterways' itineraries, there is no equal to the remarkable Magna on the Danube aboard the one-of-a-kind AmaMagna river cruise ship. The AmaMagna stands proudly as the flagship of AmaWaterways' award-winning fleet, featuring unique amenities including four distinctive dining venues, a sun-deck pool and a whirlpool, a Zen Wellness Studio with a dedicated fitness professional and two massage rooms, and the recently-debuted pickleball court! As your home-away-from-home on the Danube, the AmaMagna epitomizes the immaculate accommodations that characterize every AmaWaterways river cruise experience. 

Vietnam & Cambodia’s Mighty Mekong River 

Glide along this majestic river, discovering a glimpse into another era, one in which people still happily honor the timeless traditions passed down through the centuries from their ancestors. Throughout your journey, you will be immersed in the culture and heritage with visits to rural villages, historic pagodas, and colorful markets. You will also be treated to a special blessing by monks in Buddhist monastery and witness skilled artisans who create exquisite handicrafts and delicacies.

There is no river cruise ship on the Mekong quote like the beautiful AmaDara, which boasts intricately carved woods reflecting the region’s French colonial history as well as handmade art and artifacts. Onboard the ship, tempt your palate with local cuisine such as Vietnamese pho bo and spring rolls and participate in AmaWaterways’ complimentary Wellness Program, during which a professional Wellness Host leads regionally inspired activities such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation.  

Although AmaWaterways’ land packages are optional, no Mekong River journey is truly complete without extending one’s journey into fascinating destinations such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, ethereal Ha Long Bay, and Siem Reap, gateway to the great Angkor Archaeological Complex
