Wellness on the Water
Move Freely. Breathe Deeply. Sail Joyfully.
Imagine beginning each morning with the soft glow of dawn glistening across the river, a gentle breeze through the open balcony doors, and the hum of life slowly awakening beyond the banks.
On an AmaWaterways river cruise, wellness isn’t a scheduled activity — it’s the natural rhythm of the journey itself.
Every moment on the river invites balance: between adventure and stillness, movement and reflection, body and soul. With Sea & Sun Travel, your AmaWaterways experience is designed not just for where you’ll go, but for how you’ll feel along the way.

Here, relaxation meets refinement. From the soft scent of essential oils to the hush of the passing current, AmaWaterways surrounds you with thoughtful touches that nurture both body and soul. Whether you’re savoring stillness in the spa, floating in the whirlpool beneath a sunset sky, or sipping champagne after a new haircut, every detail whispers calm.
Because with AmaWaterways — and your travel experts at Sea & Sun Travel — wellness isn’t an amenity; it’s a way of traveling.
Your Floating Sanctuary
Every AmaWaterways ship is a haven of tranquility designed to help you unwind, refresh, and reconnect.
- Spacious staterooms and suites — many featuring twin balconies that open to fresh river air.
- Modern fitness centers with treadmills, weights, and cardio equipment for those who want to stay active.
- Heated pools or whirlpools on most ships for the ultimate post-excursion indulgence.

Here, your body finds rest, your mind finds clarity, and your spirit feels right at home.
Guided Wellness Programs
AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to introduce a dedicated Wellness Host on every European sailing — ensuring every day includes opportunities to move, stretch, and recharge.
- Morning yoga and stretching sessions framed by river views.
- Core and resistance training for maintaining balance and strength.
- Guided meditation and mindfulness for travelers seeking stillness amid the flow.
- Active excursions like hiking, biking, and wellness-themed shore tours for those who love movement with meaning.
Each class is inclusive, welcoming all fitness levels, and designed to complement your journey rather than structure it.
Nourishment with Intention
Wellness also begins at the table. AmaWaterways’ chefs craft menus that highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients and balance indulgence with nourishment.
Expect colorful salads, plant-forward entrées, lean proteins, and thoughtfully portioned desserts that celebrate each region’s culinary heritage. With an award-winning La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs membership, AmaWaterways delivers not just exquisite flavor, but artistry — ensuring that every meal contributes to your sense of vitality and joy.
Guests with special dietary needs — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, diabetic, or allergy-sensitive — are thoughtfully accommodated. While strict Kosher meals cannot be prepared onboard, pre-packaged certified Kosher options can be arranged and presented beautifully alongside the main dining experience.
Relax, Reconnect, Renew
Wellness on AmaWaterways is about more than fitness or cuisine — it’s about creating space for connection, stillness, and joy. Whether you’re reading by the pool, walking the deck beneath a starlit sky, or letting the day unfold with no agenda at all, you’ll find that the river gives you back to yourself.
With Sea & Sun Travel, every detail is handled — from flights and transfers to pre- and post-cruise stays — so your only focus is on what truly matters: feeling your best while exploring the world you love.
