AmaWaterways is often associated with Europe, but their full range of itineraries shows a much wider world. From Africa’s wildlife-rich rivers to the vibrant Mekong in Asia and Colombia’s Magdalena River, these journeys invite travelers to explore beyond the expected — without giving up comfort, personalized service or seamless travel.
Travel Made Simple, Even in Faraway Places
Traveling to distant regions can feel complicated, but AmaWaterways removes that stress. Guests unpack once and settle into an intimate ship designed for the specific river they are sailing.
Each itinerary includes:
- Small-group excursions with expert local guides
- Cultural and natural onshore experiences that feel authentic
- Comfortable ships built for each region
- Smooth logistics from start to finish
So instead of worrying about transportation or schedules, guests can focus on the experience itself.
