AmaWaterways now offers a record-breaking river cruise itinerary. The line's new "Seven River Journey Through Europe" is an unparalleled 46-night dream voyage that takes you through 14 countries on four of AmaWaterways' award-winning ships.
We’ve loved sailing with AmaWaterways for many years, and the line and crew have always delivered exceptional travel experiences.

With this new ambitious itinerary, which is on sale now for the 2023 trip that will take up to 144 passengers on a memorable journey, AmaWaterways again is raising the bar for the river cruise industry. This itinerary has been specially curated by the line's co-founder and president, Rudi Schreiner, who is known as the "Godfather of River Cruising."
The voyage sets sail on June 1, 2023, beginning on the Seine River in France. And the journey through Europe will carry you along Europe's most legendary rivers, capturing the essence of each region. You'll get to immerse yourself in the unique history, cultural traditions, architecture, and of course, delectable cuisine and wine of each destination you explore.

In addition to fine dining and hand-selected wines at every meal in multiple onboard venues, an onboard Wellness Host offers a variety of core strengthening, stretching and yoga classes. The Seven River Journey will also include transfers between ships, complimentary laundry service and all gratuities onboard and for shore excursions. A dedicated Cruise Manager will be your guide for all 46 nights of the journey.
