AmaWaterways offers more included excursions than any other river cruise line, so you can tailor each day to your own rhythm and interests.

• Multiple choices daily, often at different activity levels: gentle walking tours, regular walking tours, faster pace walking tours to see more, biking adventures, or guided hikes.

• Complimentary bicycles onboard most European ships, so you can explore riverside villages at your own pace.
   

Whether you prefer to stroll, sip, cycle, or simply soak it all in, every day on the river unfolds with opportunities to connect — to people, to culture, and to the heartbeat of the destination.

Life aboard AmaWaterways ships is the perfect balance of comfort and connection.
