Amawaterways AmaCello on a Rhine river cruise in Avignon France.

Overview

Adorned in colors inspired by the leaves of a European autumn, the AmaCello is a charming ship to cruise aboard through Europe. The Sun Deck is complete with a pool, whirlpool, and even luxurious recliners to relax and drink in the scenery… or some cocktails from the swim-up bar! Inducted into La Chaine des Rotisseurs, an exclusive culinary society, the restaurants aboard AmaWaterways' AmaCello are home to culinary masterpieces made fresh, using local ingredients.

This was our second cruise with Ama Waterways in Europe. After a wonderful first experience, we were pleasantly treated to an equally excellent experience on the AmaCello. The ship was comfortable, quiet, clean, and in excellent condition in all areas. The staff was professional and first class in all of their services and interactions. We would recommend Ama to anyone interested in a wonderful travel experience.

Pros: Quality of the Ships Amenities. Friendliness and Professionalism of Ama Staff. Quality of Food and Drinks. Promptness of all activities.

Cons: None...

Even with about half capacity, the AmaWaterways Ama Cello did not disappoint. With an expert crew, our every little need was taken care of. The land excursions and tours were superb. Transfers from the airport were superb. Ama Waterways does everything right!

Pros: Fabulous service and fine dining. Stateroom with French Balcony was exceptional. The onboard laundry service was very handy, too

Cons: Assigned seating with the same couple for 3 meals/day for the duration of the cruise.

This was our first river cruise and we were very pleased with all aspects of it. The food and the service on the ship were outstanding. The hotels in Zurich and Lucerne were very nice and located in very convenient places. The time in the ports was usually plenty to go on the excursions and then still have plenty left over for shopping or eating at the local restaurants.

Pros: -The additional days in Zurich and Lucerne - The variety of the excursions in each port - Beautiful scenery along the Rhine river - Quality of service from the crew

Cons: None
