Login After her launch, AmaLyra quickly earned a "Best New River Cruise Ship" distinction in comfort and style. Perhaps it was because of the scenery afforded by the ship’s French balconies, or because of the exquisite cuisine served by the Main Restaurant and in a delightful, multi-course production as part of The Chef’s Table experience. Whatever the reason, savor the comfort of staterooms appointed with Entertainment-On-Demand, unlimited Wi-Fi, movies, music and English-language TV stations. Revel in the indulgences offered by the sauna, whirlpool, and massage and hair salon. Delight in the blues and yellows of the ship’s interior design, a subtle reflection of how the sunlight just outside shines down on the river. And take advantage of AmaLyra’s sun-deck walking track, fitness room and fleet of complimentary bikes—because maybe being on the best river cruise ship means being the best version of you.
This was our first river cruise and it was beyond expectations! The pre-cruise in Paris was incredible. The hotel, sights and experiences were amazing. Our cruise manager, Tita, was very kind and helpful the entire time. All of the transfers went smooth which I appreciate as I can be a nervous traveler. The Amalyra staff was so welcoming, warm and friendly. Everyone took such good care of us and the ship. The food was delicious, and pretty sure I ate my weight in cheese and croissants. The chef's table dinner was a remarkable experience. Everyone should sign up! Musical entertainment each night was fun and a great variety. All of the excursion tour guides were very knowledgeable, a great lesson in history and art. Disembark was a breeze, well organized. We are already exploring other rivers to cruise with AMA in the near future! Thank you for a fantastic vacation!
This was our second cruise with AMA. We met wonderful people and had a terrific cruise director, Andrea. My priority is an educational experience and we truly had that. The guides were wonderful and that was most important to me. There were some dining glitches (slow service, some selections were not as good) but overall, our time spent on the boat and on land was terrific. Everything went according to schedule and and the cruise manager amazing managed it all. The boat is relatively quiet so if you are looking for “Las Vegas” you won’t find it. Instead, the evening entertainment was low key but with a great DJ. Many women got up and danced and it was lots of fun. We plan to travel again with AMAwaterways. We also appreciated the pre-cruise offer that included two nights’ stay in Paris and day tours. The day tours were not so great but it was fine. We had booked our own.
This is without a doubt the best way to visit Paris and the province of Normandy! The crew of the AmaLyra was outstanding! 7 days and nights of pampering and friendly service. The cruise director was the absolute best, the musical entertainment nightly was exceptional and the dining staff was marvelous. Great food and wine, comfortable accommodations, and an itinerary that was very enjoyable. Thank you for fulfilling a life long dream of visiting France and the beaches of Normandy. Very nice meals throughout the cruise with the highlight being the Chef's table dinner. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and quite entertaining. The coaches to and from the excursions were very new and comfortable. Be careful with your expectations at Monet's Garden in Giverny. This excursion may be extremely crowded with guests, so it will not be an intimate experience. Otherwise, all excursions were wonderful. Highly recommend AmaWaterways for your next river cruise.
The cruise was so close to perfect! The boat immaculate. The crew an entertaining mixed bag of personalities. It was our first river cruise and we are now big fans. Ama does a bang up job. They wined and dined us 3x a day with exceptional food and solid service! The tours were in general wonderful. This is a fantastic company! The views were unreal. The tours remarkable and forever etched in our memories. The wine was lovely too. The cabin, although a bit tight, was clean and once you get used to the boat sized room-it is all good! The bed was comfy and the room was very clean. No rocking in the boat this time of year,. The entertainment was stellar-Mike made the trip extra with his extraordinary talents! Highly recommend this company!!!! Go, you won't regret it-these trips create a calm sense of traveling and safety and a variety of tours!
Often, too much of a vacation is worrying about where to eat, what to see, how to get from place to place. AMA Waterways has you covered. From the airport to our hotel, from our hotel to the ship, etc, all of our transfers were part of the package and went off without a hitch. We loved the excursion choices, and my husband especially enjoyed the bicycle tours. The guides used for the excursions were friendly and knowledgeable. The staff is friendly and outgoing, and willing to go out of their way to meet your needs. Our cruise manager was absolutely wonderful and helped us change our excursion choices at the last minute. We found this type of cruise so much more enjoyable than any of the large ocean cruises we have been on. You have the chance to get to know your fellow cruisers and make new friends. This was our first river cruise but will not be the last on AMA Waterways.
