Pioneers of the River
AmaWaterways was founded by industry experts with a deep love for the rivers, including Rudi Schreiner, who once built and lived on a raft along the Amazon. That spirit of exploration still guides us today as we launch new ships and itineraries around the world. We solely focus on river cruising, launching custom-designed ships that honor the character of each river, from Europe’s legendary Danube to Colombia’s intriguing Magdalena.

Thoughtful, Heartfelt Service
At AmaWaterways, service is never scripted. Our crew takes the time to notice what matters to you, offering care that feels genuine and intuitive. With a high staff-to-guest ratio and dedicated expert guides throughout your journey, we strive to create continuity and connection. It’s this attention to detail, and the warmth behind it, that brings guests back year after year.

Your Version of Local
We believe the most memorable moments happen when travel feels personal. That’s why we offer a variety of daily on shore experiences, so you can choose how you explore, whether this is through guided insight, independent discovery, or a mix of both.
