Testimonials
"I am so excited for this upcoming cruise (my third)! I had such a wonderful time on my last cruise, with the Reustles. Amawaterways treated us like royalty. The staff, the ship, and the food was all unbelievable. I was surprised that all our excursions were included in the package - it truly was "All-Inclusive!" This cruise will be an intimate journey through France's Burgundy region. I can't wait to see it with Stephen and Gloria!"
-Marian Stratton
"I've sailed with Ama twice, both on wine cruises. This cruise with the Reustle will mark my third. The smaller ships provide a wonderful environment for getting to know your fellow passengers. The daily excursions into the countryside are geared for all ages. They are always entertaining and informational. You will come home with new friends and a greater appreciation of the world as well as a better understanding of the world of wine."
-Pete Buechel
"We are seasoned cruisers, but this was our first river cruise. From the time we were greeted by an AmaWaterways representative at the airport and taken to our hotel we encountered a high level of professionalism. Our gourmet meals were very well prepared and our wine glasses never were empty. The crew and staff were very helpful and engaging. The entertainment in the evenings by local artists were very good. We highly recommend AMA Waterways."
