Award-winning river cruise line AMAWATERWAYS owns and operates the newest, most state-of-the art fleet of river cruise vessels in Europe. Operating year-round on the Danube, Rhine, Main and Mosel rivers, the AMAWATERWAYS Cruise itineraries highlight Europe’s grandest cities, including Amsterdam, Vienna and Budapest.

In addition to its core lineup of cruises on the Danube, Rhine, Main and Mosel, AMAWATERWAYS Cruises offers destination cruises in three historic and beautiful regions. The Rhone river in France serves as a backdrop for a spectacular cruise through Provence on the MS Swiss Pearl. The MS Amadouro cruises through the Douro River Valley in Portugal, the world’s oldest demarcated wine-growing region and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And, the legendary MS Tolstoy, built to house dignitaries for the Kremlin, transports passengers on a magnificent Russian odyssey from Moscow to St. Petersburg on the Volga-Baltic Waterway.

In the fall of 2009, AMAWATERWAYS launched its new “Vietnam, Cambodia and the Riches of the Mekong” program, to great acclaim. The exclusive 15-day itinerary highlights the region’s historical and cultural riches, ancient ways of life and traditions. The AMAWATERWAYS Cruise program features 2 nights in Vietnam’s bustling capital of Hanoi, famous for its graceful colonial architecture, verdant parks, tranquil lakes and ancient temples; an overnight cruise onboard a luxurious traditional Junk in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its spectacular limestone cliffs; and 3 nights in Siem Reap, Cambodia, gateway to the Angkor Archeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the legendary Angkor Wat. The centerpiece of “Vietnam, Cambodia and the Riches of the Mekong” is an unforgettable 7-night cruise on the Mekong river aboard the luxurious, new 92-passenger MS La Marguerite, the most deluxe vessel in the region. An overnight in historic Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam completes this exclusive AMAWATERWAYS Cruise program. Also available is an optional 8-day Central Vietnam pre-extension and an optional 4-day Hong Kong post-extension.
