I could not have been happier with my first river cruise on the AmaKristina from Lyon to Arles. I enjoyed every minute, and have already recommended Ama Waterways to friends and family. As a solo traveler, I met the most amazing people aboard the AmaKristina. The ship is absolutely beautiful, and well designed. Every comfort has been taken into consideration in terms of the staterooms. Georgiana was the person who attended to the staterooms on our deck, and she did a tremendous job. She is friendly, respectful, and excellent at her job. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating, making sure that everyone's needs were met. My expectations were exceeded on this trip!
Pros: Everything!
Cons: None!

We enjoyed our cruise very much. The pre-cruise to Barcelona was great. AMA met us at the airport and took care of all logistics. The food was very good. We enjoyed all the excursions. The staff was very responsive and accommodating. The weather was great.
Pros: Excellent accommodations. Very friendly and caring crew. Great Cruise Manager (Mandy)
Cons: Time went by too quick.

I can’t convey how wonderful this boat and crew are. Everything from the food, the cabin, the crew, the excursions were top notch. Every meal is a delicious adventure. They are not doing buffets any more, which is a plus for me. So you’re able to order from a menu with a large array of choices for each meal. The cabin was so clean and well thought out, even to a motion activated blue night light in the bathroom. The crew gets to know you and your preferences, and is always eager to help. And the excursions were so well done, with local guides, and modern new transportation in deluxe buses if needed for areas that were further away from the ship. They even welcome you back to the ship with juice and fresh moistened towel to clean your hands. Everyone on the ship is vaccinated, and wears masks in common areas. And they do temperature checks on the way in to breakfast. Over all I felt much safer on the boat than I do walking around Boise. I would do another river cruise with Ama in a heartbeat.
Pros: Everything
Cons: The only con - you’re at the mercy of the river. We were delayed by about 12 hours for a sailing because a barge had run into a bridge and closed our passage for a while.
