Summer with AmaWaterways is a season of possibility. As our custom-designed ships glide along the Danube and Rhine rivers and through the heart of France, each day invites you to follow your own rhythm. Wander through sunlit vineyards in Burgundy, join a guided bike ride along the Rhine’s riverbanks, or linger in the café-lined squares of Vienna and Paris.

With a curated selection of daily experiences—walking tours, tastings, guided hikes—you won’t have to worry about securing reservations during the popular summer months. On board, familiar comforts await: a refreshing dip in the sun deck pool, regionally inspired cuisine, and the quiet joy of watching the world drift by from your stateroom balcony. Every detail is considered so you can be fully present in the moment. This is summer, thoughtfully designed for you.

Surprise Stages in Vienna

Discover how Vienna transforms into one big open-air cultural playground each summer. Thanks to Kultursommer Wien, you can stumble upon jazz trios, poetry slams, and Balkan brass bands performing in public spaces all over the city. It’s Vienna at its most spontaneous: local, lively and completely free.

Twilight Tales from the Tower

Lahneck Castle is even more enchanting after sunset as twilight settles over the Rhine. Its candlelit halls and shadowed turrets stir centuries of stories, from medieval legends to local lore. Evening visits offer a quieter magic, perfect for those who love a little mystery.

Beyond Europe: Colombia’s Magdalena River

Our guests enjoy a private Carnaval performance in Barranquilla on every Magdalena River cruise departure. This UNESCO-recognized celebration bursts with music, dance, and color. It’s a vibrant immersion into Colombia’s soul blending tradition, artistry, and joy in one unforgettable riverfront spectacle.
