Overview
After the launch of the MS Amadagio in 2006, AMAWATERWAYS redefined the concept of luxury river travel. From gorgeous contemporary artwork in the lobbies, to the inviting hallways, the style and substance of onboard amenities are comparable to any 5-star hotel.

Each ship offers state-of-the-art public areas and elegantly appointed staterooms equipped with flat-screen TV, internet access and French balconies on the top upper decks. The ships also have an elevator, sun deck with walking track, whirlpool and bicycles.
