Decorated in a palette of gold and orange that reflects Europe’s brilliant autumn foliage, the AmaCello is a floating delight. The glorious Sun Deck offers a soothing whirlpool, giant chess set and recliners from which to drink up the extraordinary scenery. Inside, enticing aromas waft from the beautiful Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant, each previewing a masterfully plated dish created by an expert chef using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. And after just one bite, you will understand why the AmaCello, like all European ships, was inducted into the internationally renowned culinary society known as La Chaine des Rotisseurs. Keeping with the French theme, most staterooms feature a French balcony as well as amenities that include Entertainment On Demand, climate-controlled air conditioning and an in-room safe. A fitness room, sauna and massage room are also available for your enjoyment onboard this incredible river ship.

This was our second cruise with Ama Waterways in Europe. After a wonderful first experience, we were pleasantly treated to an equally excellent experience on the AmaCello. The ship was comfortable, quiet, clean, and in excellent condition in all areas. The staff was professional and first class in all of their services and interactions. We would recommend Ama to anyone interested in a wonderful travel experience.

Even with about half capacity, the AmaWaterways Ama Cello did not disappoint. With an expert crew, our every little need was taken care of. The land excursions and tours were superb. Transfers from the airport were superb. Ama Waterways does everything right!

This ship is looking a little dated and could use some upgrades to the lounge furniture. However, this was the best crew I've ever had the privilege of sailing with...the customer service was top notch!

I will never fly thru Heathrow again. No one met us at Amsterdam airport. Service desk at the airport was virtually impossible to find.

This was our first river cruise and we were very pleased with all aspects of it. The food and the service on the ship were outstanding. The hotels in Zurich and Lucerne were very nice and located in very convenient places. The time in the ports was usually plenty to go on the excursions and then still have plenty left over for shopping or eating at the local restaurants.

My wife and I (both in mid-fifties) thoroughly enjoy our cruise. It was our first river cruise. Smaller ship (compared to ocean cruises) created a much more "group" feel to the experience, yet still easy to have your own space when desired. Food was plentiful, convenient, diverse, and tasty. Very nice that wine and beer were included with lunch and dinner. We enjoyed using the ship's bicycles at a number of the cruise stops; they were quality bikes in good shape. The local excursions provided through AMA were all enjoyable, with quality guides. A favorite was "Ollie" who led a walking tour of Amsterdam that included a visit to a beer house, complete with beer, bread, and potato pancakes. While the Rhine has the look of a "grand canal" for a major portion of the cruise, it is still very entertaining to spend time on the upper deck and watch the world go by. The Rhine Gorge portion of the cruise, with 20+ castles to view, was spectacular! We will definitely consider using AMA for another cruise, maybe the Danube?!
