Second time sailing with Amawaterways, and of course it was a delight. The cruise manager made it really special as well as the hotel manager, his staff and the captain and crew. I wish I can name each one of them and thank them individually. Had been in over 15 cruises, but Ama does it differently. Great itinerary, great excursion options, super meals and attention to detail. By the ...

Dear guest, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to welcome you back on board your second AmaWaterways river cruise, and we are touched that you celebrated Thanksgiving with us as...
Spirit of the Rhine is nice small ship with only 180 or so passengers, mostly like minded and good company. We were nervous about the entertainment (after 65 ocean cruises) and I don't know if we were just lucky, but the local entertainers brought aboard were really excellent and the onboard Saga entertainers / cruise staff got other activities just about right. Maybe do some more quizzes though? ...
I wanted to see Vienna & Budapest, so I got that accomplished. Frankly, though, I think that I would've preferred to simply rent a car and drive to these places for a whole lot less money. The ship was basically a floating hotel - there isn't much in the way of amenities on the ship other than a restaurant & lounge (which wasn't really much different than the restaurant). The piano player got ...
First time in a river cruise and the experience was awesome inside and outside of the ship.
Places and tours were amazing and full of history … the tour guides were completely knowledgeable about everything and made the experience very interesting.
Plenty of food and beverages in the ship, never got thirsty or hungry.
All the food from the 4 countries were delicious (Hungary, Austria, ...
This river cruise was absolutely fantastic!! We had such a great time! The food and staff onboard was absolutely wonderful! Every day our scheduled excursions or specialized tours were executed perfectly. Viking does such a wonderful job despite some issues .. out of their control with the high water levels … Viking went above and beyond to be sure we stayed on schedule and got to each planned ...
We had heard so much about Portugal and decided to go. We had gone on Emerald Liberte in the Spring and enjoyed ourselves, despite the French strike.
The staff and the food are fantastic! Chef Marinho is gifted for such a young man. The Captain is 28 years old and he navigates the Douro perfectly.
The excursions are informative and well thought out. The little extras they fit in were ...
My husband and I are in our 30s and we still felt at home on the Viking trip. All of our tour guides were absolutely great. Had a lot of knowledge and we’re very nice really appreciated all of the staff. They were friendly, and still made all of our excursions work, and got to go to every port, even though the Rhine river was high. I do think we had a little less shopping time in free time in each ...
I was interested in visiting Prague and Paris and the price seemed very reasonable. I was not disappointed. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. The city tours were very educational and enjoyed all the walking. the staff on the Viking Hild were exceptionally kind and accommodating. The food was excellent as were the drinks. I appreciated the choice of entrees available. Visiting Prague was my ...
This was our first river cruise. We chose Viking because of its excellent reputation and the Prague to Paris itinerary looked exciting. Viking took care of everything...air flight, transfers, etc. A Viking rep met us at Prague airport and someone from Viking was with us the entire time. The Prague hotel and tour were excellent. Every detail was worked out as we made our way to the Hilde. The ship ...
