What Sets Our Retreats Apart
01 / Premium Lodging
AmaWaterways Amadante
Experience The Luxury of More
AmaDante is a study in understated elegance, adorned in a regal theme of blues and golds that enhance the natural beauty of the Seine River landscapes just outside your stateroom. Most accommodations include a French balcony, so you’ll never miss a vineyard, steeple, or castle, even when relaxing in your elegantly-appointed stateroom. Every moment at leisure is a treat on AmaDante, whether you’re rejuvenating in the sauna or whirlpool, indulging in a massage or haircut, meeting new friends in the inviting Main Lounge, working out in the fitness room, taking a lap on the sun-deck walking track, or crafting your daily java at the specialty coffee station. As the premier cruise line to offer a fleet of complimentary bikes, we’re pleased to offer the same on AmaDante, so you’ll enjoy exhilarating guided biking tours from ship to shore throughout Europe.
THE LUXURY OF SPACE - FEWER GUESTS ON BOARD
Spacious and uncrowded, AmaWaterways' award-winning fleet offers elegantly appointed staterooms and suites, welcoming fewer guests than many traditional river cruise ships.
The AmaDante sails with only 140 guests, allowing you to experience the luxury of more space and service.
Inviting Public Spaces
You can enjoy the luxury of space to unwind, relax, and reconnect with your loved ones. Our public areas, including lounges and restaurants, are never overcrowded.
UNPACK ONCE: A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE
Step aboard and unpack once aboard one of AmaWaterways' luxury ships that transport you from one destination to the next. With AmaWaterways, every day is a “see” day as you cruise through grand capitals and charming towns. AmaWaterways ships dock near city centers, meaning you can step right off the ship and explore.
AWARD-WINNING INCLUDED DINING EXPERIENCES
With membership in the internationally recognized La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and Tables et Auberges de France, AmaWaterways takes pride in preparing exquisite, regionally inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. You can also enjoy complimentary hand-selected wines and local beers during every lunch and dinner on board.
UNPARALLELED PERSONALIZED SERVICE
Extraordinary Cruise Managers and crew continuously go above and beyond to enhance the onboard experience, surprising and delighting AmaWaterways guests with thoughtful details, getting to know you personally and anticipating your needs before you ever have to ask. The crew are the main reason more guests return to cruise with us than with any other river cruise line - a testament to their passion and unrivaled service.

Embark on Italy, French Riviera & Spain
The infinite variety of street life, the nooks and crannies of the medieval Barri Gòtic, the ceramic tile and stained glass of Art Nouveau facades, the art and music, the throb of street life, the food (ah, the food!)—one way or another, Barcelona will find a way to get your full attention. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. A stroll along La Rambla and through waterfront Barceloneta, as well as a tour of Gaudí's majestic Sagrada Famíliaand his other unique creations, are part of a visit to Spain's second-largest city. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona's vibe stays lively well into the night, when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.

It's no wonder that all roads lead to the fascinating and maddening metropolis of Athens. Lift your eyes 200 feet above the city to the Parthenon, its honey-color marble columns rising from a massive limestone base, and you behold architectural perfection that has not been surpassed in 2,500 years.
