- RRRodolfo· October 15th, 2018We loved the overall itinerary, initial start times & pace of tours. The staff was awesome and special thanks to Monika. We loved all of the destinations and the options for the tours. We've taken around 10 cruises on the big ships and this was our first river cruise and I expected the food to be as good or better than the big cruises. Unfortunately, this is where Amawaters fell short. The food was a disappointment for us and there weren't too many options. On a couple of occasions the dinner was below average.Show moreTrip date: October 2018

Asked on July 13th, 2023We are interested in the 8-day Rhine cruise for 3 adults in June 2024. I would like to know your recommendations for the best accommodations. Does your capacity accommodate 3 adults?

The AmaSiena ship does not have triple occupancy cabins. You will have to book 2 cabins. (1 cabin for two passengers, and the second cabin for 1 passenger). The current available cabins are the following: - Cabin Category CA with French Balcony ( 1 cabin left) on the Violin Deck - Cabin Category D with fixed windows (1 cabin left) on the Piano Deck

Carlos
Traveler•Written July 2023If I want to use your trip insurance where do I get the insurance form and the cost of the insurance.
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written July 2023
You can purchase insurance at the time of booking. Once you fill in the details on the book now page, you will be able to see the price quote for the insurance based on your location.
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written July 2023
The operator has advised us that it is a one hour canal cruise through the small Amsterdam canals, they know that you pass the Anne Frank Museum. There are so many canals they would not be able to advise of all the canals they go through at the moment.

Carlos
Traveler•Written August 2023If one has already paid for a room with 2 occupancies, can they change to a room with 1 occupancy. If so, how much?
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written August 2023
If you cancel a guest from an existing booking, you would incur cancellation penalties. Additionally, the guest who will be travelling solo will incur a single supplement fee as they will have the cabin all to themselves.

Asked on January 9th, 2023I'm seeing packages for $3,100 on the website but only able to choose tours for over $4,000 per person. Is there something special I need to do to secure the $3,100 price?
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written January 2023
If you wish to see cruises within a specific price range you have to use the price toggle located on the bottom left-hand side of the web page. The price that you see is the 'Start From' price.

Katie
Asked on December 2nd, 2022What is the dress code for dinner and tours
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written December 2022
Comfortable "Country Club Casual" is the recommended attire for daytime, and to pack something a little dressier for the Captain's night/Farewell Dinner – similar to how one would dress to dine at a 5-star restaurant. Comfortable shoes are recommended for excursions and workout clothing if you plan to take part in any wellness activities, active tours or use the onboard gym.

Veronica
Asked on September 15th, 2022Please give me the rate and an additional fees for the promotion. We would be flying out of AVL.
- AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written September 2022
TourRadar, as a booking platform, doesn't book flights but you can check out flight options with our partner SkyScanner. If you're enquiring about airfare through AmaWaterways, this can be added after your book, therefore airfare quotes will be provided if/when you book.
