Gliding along the phenomenally beautiful Main, Rhine and Moselle rivers, the AmaDante is a study in understated elegance, decorated with subdued colors and patterns that allow the breathtaking scenery outside to take precedence. Most accommodations include a French balcony, so you will 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 are 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, it is a pleasure to offer the same on AmaDante, so you will enjoy exhilarating guided biking tours from ship to shore throughout Europe.

Great staff, beautiful ship and crew, excellent food, Caroline our cruise director was superbCONS
Shore excursions required lengthy bus rides, a lot of walkingRECOMMENDED
NoWe spent a lot of time on busses. On several excursions after lengthy bus rides we only had enough time for tour and then back on bus. It would have been nice to have time to do more exploring or just having lunch at a sidewalk cafe.

Only 3 nights of actual entertainmentRECOMMENDED
YesThis was my second AMA river cruise. The crew both times was wonderful - warm, friendly, welcoming, and always looking for ways to make you more comfortable. The passengers who choose AMA seem to also be very predictable - down to earth, friendly, real people. The tours were all fun and they make everything accessible for all abilities- "gentle" walkers, hikers, cyclists. Food was great and they can alter your menu for any issue you might have.

None!RECOMMENDED
YesThis was the first river cruise for our group of 8 friends (four couples). The whole experience far exceeded our expectations. The planning, logistics, cabins/staterooms, food, drinks, staff, countryside, excursions, activities, and every single detail were all amazing! We would highly recommend this and we are grateful we were able to experience it!

the staff was so helpful and friendly, I loved that they had a baker on the ship. The bread and pastries were sooo goodCONS
we were at the back of the ship and the engine noise was a little bothersome. There were several ports that we did not get to enjoy because all the shops were closed for the holidayRECOMMENDED
YesI can't imagine that the food could be any better on a different cruise line. It was so relaxing we enjoyed getting to know the staff that took such good care of us.

Great Staff and Cruise DirectorCONS
Top Deck mostly closed for low bridgesRECOMMENDED
YesThe AmaDante team were excellent. Friendly, helpful, and they clearly noticed and took care of the details to keep things running smoothly and to take care of the guests. This was our first cruise of any kind, so we weren't sure what to expect. They did a great job of keeping us informed, keeping us comfortable and well fed, and they made the travel experience very easy. As a traveler that likes to DIY it, I did think the ratio of shore time to ship time was lower than I would like. We did the pre-cruise and post-cruise extensions, which made this better. But all things considered, I would recommend AmaWaterways anytime.

Abel Ramos was amazing as the activities director. The captain was very involved with his crew as was Sonia the hotel manager.CONS
RECOMMENDED
YesI think the massage that I had was amazing, done by Vladimir, and that opportunity should have been promoted more than by just a flyer in the room. I was motivated by the reports that came back and would have probably would have done it again. I liked that there were different levels of walking groups so everyone seemed to be in their own comfort zone.

Yes<div>It was a fantastic trip. Our travel agent was so right about this trip. Fun and truly enjoyable. Raul, with AMA was very personable and professional. He really cared about us. The on board bakery was amazing. Wait staff was excellant. So many people working to ensure we had the best experience possible. The ports were interesting but by the second church and castle, I was done. I would have preferred a little variety of venues. Perhaps a beer brewery, chocolate factory and or bakery. Some of the local fair. Overall it was a wonderful trip. Thank you to all of the crew and staff.</div>
