Overview
Bright colors that pop and bring the ship to life are featured aboard AmaViola, an AmaWaterways river ship that is one of a kind. Start your day with a meal at The Chef's Table, the onboard open-kitchen restaurant that has been inducted into La Chaine des Rotisseurs, an internationally renowned culinary society. After your 5-star meal, the possibilities are endless, especially when sailing to destinations filled with so much history. Take a walk on the Sun Deck, catch a musical performance, or enjoy a nightcap while viewing the scenery out your vast twin balconies!

AmaWaterways sets the standards for river cruising. They have the top ships in the business and the service and food was unbelievable. I would rate this ship and crew a 10+. Make sure to book the land options if you want to really see and fully experience some of the cities. We booked the Romantic Danube and fell in love with the Czech Republic.
Pros: Outstanding service and the ship was perfect.
Cons: No complaints at all.

Everything was "top cabin" on this cruise line. I had not heard of it. Our travel agent recommended it and we are glad she did. We will definitely cruise again with AMA. The Christmas Markets were spectacular.
Pros: Brand new ship; exceptional service; outstanding crew; very flexible off shore options
Cons: None...wonderful trip
