AmaLea

As the first river cruise line to carry a fleet of complimentary bicycles on board, we are proud to offer included excursions for you to pedal into historic city centres and along the riverbanks. Cycle through three countries: Switzerland, France and Germany while your ship remains in Lucerne; bike to Germany’s Roman-inspired Walhalla Memorial; glide among the historic UNESCO-protected windmills of Kinderdijk and so much more.

We are proud to have been the first river cruise line to carry an entire fleet of complimentary state-of-the-art bicycles on board, so you can pedal alongside enchanting riverside pathways and in city centers on a variety of included excursions throughout Europe. Whether you feel like joining one of our exclusive guided bike tours, or you want to reserve a bike to discover a destination on your own, there are many ways for you to explore on two wheels during your river cruise. From lighter five-mile bike tours to rides that stretch over 20 miles, we offer excursions for guests at any level.

Bike Tour Guides - Your guide will be sure to stop and point out highlights along the way, providing interesting facts and history, as well as much-needed water breaks! Often, there is some built-in free time for you to explore off your bike. And best of all, to ensure no guests are left behind, there is typically a guide both at the front and back of the tour group, so whatever pace you pedal, you will have peace of mind you will be taken care of and find your way back to the ship. 

Child-sized Bikes - There are a limited number of child-size bicycles available on board as well. This enables you to enjoy family-friendly active excursions in many destinations along the rivers.

We appreciate that no two travellers are alike. To accommodate your unique needs and interests, we have curated a diverse menu of shore excursions. From historic city tours to guided hikes, exhilarating bike rides and tastings of local specialties, every tour is led by a knowledgeable local guide, is operated in a small group and is offered with our compliments.

Three Activity Levels - Some guests wish to journey further and move at a quicker pace during their excursions while others prefer more time to take photos or require frequent rests. To ensure every guest may explore at their own comfort level, we offer our tours at three distinct activity levels, ensuring even our most “gentle walkers” are not left behind – because why settle for anything less than perfect on your long-awaited vacation?

Inclusive and Accommodating - Our convenient Quietvox audio devices ensure you can hear your tour guide clearly amidst the hustle and bustle of cities and at the volume most comfortable for you. We also offer a limited number of Nordic walking sticks and sport seats for guests who need extra support or periodic breaks.

* Additional accommodations can be made for select groups – contact your travel advisor or call us to inquire.

Special Interest Tours - We offer a variety of included tours specially curated with your individual passions in mind. Enjoy exploring the world through your tastebuds? Indulge in authentic Belgian waffles and chocolate in Antwerp or learn the art of French breadmaking in Libourne. Are you interested in engineering? Venture through the immense aerospace and locomotive collections at Speyer’s Technik Museum. Do you love music? Browse the antique music boxes and organs at Siegfried’s Mechanical Instrument Cabinet while cruising the Rhine.

Every year, we seek out new opportunities for our guests to experience local culture in a unique way. These tours are specially designed to give small groups the chance to be even more immersed in a destination. Here are just a few examples:

• Indulge in authentic Belgian waffles and chocolate in Antwerp
• Try your hand at knotting a bretzel (German for “pretzel”) in Wertheim
• Go to a bratwurst and beer tasting at the oldest brewery in Nuremberg
• Discover hidden treasures on a tour of Vienna’s secret spots and sights
• Sample Bavarian specialties like pralines in Regensburg

Make the most of your long-awaited vacation by extending your journey with our optional land packages before or after your sailing. Indulge your wanderlust and enjoy specially curated guided tours with just the right amount of leisure time to explore the art, history or culinary delights in sought-after cities around the world.

Why Add a Land Package?

There are many benefits to adding a land package before or after your sailing. One of the simplest reasons is the convenience of making all your future travel plans in one step. But the value doesn’t stop there. Our land packages provide a more intimate environment in which to connect with fellow travelers and your Cruise Manager while exploring a fascinating new destination.

Svi gosti mlađi od 18 godina moraju biti u kabini s odraslom osobom i moraju biti pod stalnim nadzorom; sigurnost djece je odgovornost pratitelja. U slučaju da trokrevetna ili četverokrevetna kabina nije dostupna ili odabrana, djeca mlađa od 10 godina u trenutku ukrcaja mogu dijeliti kabinu s dvoje odraslih samo ako dijete može dijeliti krevet s odraslima – dodatni krevet neće biti osiguran. Molimo imajte na umu da kabine s balkonom mogu biti nesigurne za maloljetnike ako su ostavljeni bez nadzora. Minimalna dobna granica je 4 godine, osim ako AmaWaterways drugačije ne odobri.

Na našem programu Afrika Safariji i Krstarenja divljinom, zbog sigurnosnih mjera, minimalna dobna granica je 12 godina, osim ako AmaWaterways drugačije ne odobri.

AmaWaterways ne nudi programe specifične za djecu niti usluge čuvanja djece. Molimo kontaktirajte nas za dodatna pitanja u vezi s našom politikom za djecu.

Ulažu se razumni napori kako bi se udovoljilo posebnim potrebama putnika s invaliditetom, no ne preuzimamo odgovornost za bilo kakvo uskraćivanje usluga od strane prijevoznika, hotela, restorana ili drugih neovisnih dobavljača. Turistički autobusi nisu opremljeni rampama za invalidska kolica, a vrata kabina nisu dovoljno široka za pristup standardnim invalidskim kolicima.

Invalidska kolica i hodalice ne mogu se prevoziti u turističkim autobusima zbog ograničenog prostora. Putnici u invalidskim kolicima trebaju biti svjesni ovih ograničenja. Iz sigurnosnih razloga, putnici u invalidskim kolicima ne mogu se prevoziti rampama u lukama gdje je brod usidren. Žao nam je što ne možemo pružiti individualnu pomoć članovima ture prilikom hodanja, ulaska/izlaska iz turističkih autobusa i drugih prijevoznih sredstava ili za druge osobne potrebe. Putnici kojima je potrebna pomoć moraju biti u pratnji kvalificiranog suputnika.

Molimo obavijestite svog putničkog agenta ili nas izravno kontaktirajte kako biste nas unaprijed informirali o svim prehrambenim ograničenjima ili alergijama prije ukrcaja. U većini slučajeva učinit ćemo sve što je u našoj moći da udovoljimo posebnim prehrambenim zahtjevima i alergijama na hranu, no postoji jedna iznimka: košer prehrana. Ova dijeta ima stroga pravila vezana uz hranu i njezinu pripremu, a uvjeti na brodu imaju ograničenja koja nam onemogućuju da u potpunosti zadovoljimo potrebe ove prehrane. Napominjemo da, iako možemo ponuditi opcije za alergije i osjetljivosti na hranu, ne možemo jamčiti potpunu izbjeglost unakrsne kontaminacije.

Europe: Comfortable, layered clothing adaptable to changing weather conditions is always advisable for daytime excursions. For the evening, “Casually elegant” attire is recommended and you may want to pack something a little dressier for the Captain’s night/Farewell Dinner – similar to how one would dress to dine at a 5-star restaurant. Comfortable shoes are recommended for excursions and workout clothing if you plan to take part in any wellness activities, active tours or use the onboard gym. Depending on the time of year, clothing that can be layered is highly recommended.

Europa: Na brodu nema medicinskih ustanova. Međutim, medicinske usluge mogu se lako pozvati s kopna ako je potrebno.

Europa: Visokobrzinski internetski servis dostupan je besplatno kao dio usluge "Zabava na zahtjev" u sobi. Osim toga, AmaWaterways nudi besplatni Wi-Fi diljem cijelog broda.

Europa: Svaka ekskurzija uključena je u vaš izbor od do šest vođenih tura dnevno, sve u malim grupama. U svakom gradu ili mjestu koje posjetite, obično se nudi razgledavanje na tri različite razine aktivnosti – za lagane šetače, redovne šetače i aktivne šetače, uz slobodno vrijeme za istraživanje grada prema vlastitim interesima. Razgledavanja se mogu odvijati pješice, autobusom ili kombinacijom oba. Svaku turu vodi kvalificirani, licencirani lokalni vodič koji govori engleski ili vaš Cruise Manager. Na odabranim izletima dostupna je i opcija "Kasni početak" za goste koji žele duže spavati, ali ne žele propustiti ključne atrakcije ture. Za one koji žele Europu doživjeti iz uzbudljive nove perspektive, nudimo vođene biciklističke i pješačke ture u odabranim gradovima. Osim brojnih izbora izleta, nudimo i posebne tematske ture poput vinskih degustacija i kulinarskih demonstracija, pružajući malim grupama priliku za dublje uranjanje u lokalni život. U slučaju problema s razinom vode na određenim dijelovima rijeke, može biti potrebno dio itinerera prevoziti autobusom ili prilagoditi dnevni program prema odluci kapetana broda.

Usluge pranja rublja dostupne su na brodu uz naknadu. Cjenici su dostupni u vašoj kabini. Molimo imajte na umu da se odjeća ne može kemijski čistiti na brodu.

Ekološki Prijateljski Dizajn Brodova

Naša flota riječnih kruzera pažljivo je osmišljena s ekološkim elementima. To uključuje energetski učinkovite LED svjetiljke, posebne izolirane prozore koji smanjuju potrebu za grijanjem i hlađenjem, električne utičnice za priključivanje na lučnu mrežu umjesto korištenja generatora, solarne sustave grijanja, postrojenja za pročišćavanje vode koja pružaju mikrofiltraciju i recikliranje sve vode korištene na brodu. AmaMagna se ističe inovativnom konfiguracijom od 10 motora koja smanjuje potrošnju goriva, a solarni paneli postavljeni su na svim balkonima kabina. Osim toga, Zambezi Queen koristi sustav pogona na vodeni mlaz koji štiti riječnu korito rijeke Chobe, slavine i tuševe koji štede vodu, biorazgradive deterdžente i sapune te petostupanjsko postrojenje za pročišćavanje vode.

Zelenije Iskustvo na Brodu

Kako bismo smanjili ukupnu potrošnju plastike, koristimo papirnate slamke (na zahtjev), višekratne staklene boce za vodu u svim kabinama te dijelimo reciklirajuće tetra-pak boce za vodu tijekom izleta na cijeloj floti (gdje je dostupno). Smanjili smo nepotreban otpad hrane s velikih bifea uvodeći a la carte ručkove na našoj europskoj floti. Za osobne audio uređaje koji se koriste tijekom izleta ponosno surađujemo s Quietvoxom, koji koristi biorazgradive vrećice od rižinog papira i punjive baterije. Također, oznake za prtljagu i praktični putni novčanici izrađeni su od reciklirane plastike i sada se dostavljaju u kabine gostiju na našim brodovima u Europi, čime dodatno smanjujemo ugljični otisak. Korištenje naše inovativne aplikacije myAmaCruise i elektroničkih putnih dokumenata značajno je smanjilo potrošnju papira prije krstarenja i tijekom boravka na brodu.
