During our first group cruise this past August sailing down the Rhine River, our entire group was elated with AmaWaterways! And the majority of my 13 clients have already paid their deposit for 2025 trip!

Following are quotes from our 2023 AmaWaterways group sailing, "Top notch crew and cruise director that went above and beyond and always with a smile. The AmaSerena is a well-appointed ship serving amazing meals."

"I loved it all - staff, food, entertainment, accommodations." Last, "The food was fantastic. And the staff were all friendly and attentive. And Sherry is the best!!"
