The Small Ship CollectiveAmaWaterways
A more modern take on river cruising, and one of my preferred partners for a reason.
I have not sailed AmaWaterways myself, but my clients have, on the Ama Magna, the Ama Siena, the Ama Sonata, and the Ama Dara on the Mekong, and what they describe is a modern take on river cruising. The wellness program stands out immediately: spa facilities, exercise classes, bikes you can take right off the ship on excursions, and in some cases even a gym. The food is excellent, the service is intuitive rather than scripted, and the average passenger age tends to run younger than on many other river lines.
Why does that matter to you? Because if your image of river cruising skews older or more traditional, AmaWaterways may surprise you.
AmaWaterways is also one of my preferred river cruise partners, which means I regularly have access to a significant list of discounted rates.

Exclusive Partnership Benefits
