AmaFiora

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.

Take in the sights from a unique perspective by joining one of our included hikes. Connect with nature while enjoying fresh air and lovely views as you stretch your legs on Heidelberg’s historic Philosopher’s Path. Climb to Dürnstein Fortress where Richard Lionheart was once held captive. Or hike to Mount Pipet in Vienne, France, trekking among awe-inspiring Roman ruins.

The beauty of Europe does not simply lie in its architecture and landmarks – there are also breathtaking sights when you venture out into nature. That’s why we have designed special included hikes that will take you a bit off the beaten path, showing you incredible destinations from a unique perspective and giving you a chance to revel in the fresh air. With hikes ranging anywhere from two to seven miles and varying from extended city walks to hilltop castle treks, you are sure to find a wonderful hike that suits your style.

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.

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.

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.

Europe: There are no medical facilities on board. However medical services can easily be called from shore if required.

Europe: High-speed Internet service is available free of charge as part of the in-stateroom "Entertainment-On-Demand." Additionally, AmaWaterways offers complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the ship.

Környezetbarát Hajótervezés

Folyami hajóflottánkat gondosan úgy alakítottuk ki, hogy környezetbarát elemeket tartalmazzon. Ezek közé tartoznak az energiatakarékos LED világítás, különleges szigetelt ablakok, melyek csökkentik a fűtés és hűtés energiaigényét, áramzárak, amelyek lehetővé teszik a kikötői áramforrásra való csatlakozást generátorok használata helyett, napelemes fűtési rendszerek, valamint vízkezelő berendezések, amelyek mikrofiltrációt és a fedélzeten használt víz újrahasznosítását biztosítják. Az AmaMagna innovatív, tíz motoros konfigurációval rendelkezik, amely csökkenti az üzemanyag-fogyasztást, továbbá minden kabin erkélyén napelemek kerültek felszerelésre. Emellett a Zambezi Queen vízsugár meghajtású rendszerrel működik, amely védi a Chobe folyó medrét, víztakarékos csapokkal és zuhanyzókkal, biológiailag lebomló mosószerekkel és szappanokkal, valamint ötlépcsős víztisztító berendezéssel van felszerelve.

Környezetbarát Fedélzeti Élmény

Az általános műanyagfelhasználás csökkentése érdekében papír szívószálakat használunk (kérésre), újratölthető üveg vizes palackokat helyezünk el minden kabinban, és újrahasznosítható tetra-pak víztartályokat osztunk ki a flottánk kirándulásai során (ahol elérhető). Csökkentettük a nagy volumenű büfékből eredő felesleges ételpazarlást azzal, hogy európai flottánkon a fedélzeten a la carte ebédeket kínálunk. Személyes audioeszközeinkhez, amelyeket a kirándulások során használunk, büszkén működünk együtt a Quietvox-szal, amely biológiailag lebomló rizspapír tasakokat és újratölthető elemeket alkalmaz. Emellett a poggyászcímkéink és praktikus utazási pénztárcáink újrahasznosított műanyag palack anyagból készülnek, és most már az európai hajóinkon a vendégek kabinjaiba kerülnek, csökkentve ezzel ökológiai lábnyomunkat. Az innovatív myAmaCruise alkalmazásunk és az elektronikus utazási dokumentumok használata jelentősen mérsékelte a papírfelhasználást mind az utazás előtt, mind a fedélzeten.

Europe: Every excursion is included with your choice from up to six guided tours each day, all operated in small groups. In every city or town you visit, there is typically a sightseeing tour offered at three unique activity levels for gentle walkers, regular walkers and active walkers, along with free time to explore the city according to your own interests. The sightseeing tours can take place on foot, via motor coach, or a combination of the two. Each tour is led by a qualified, licensed English-speaking local guide or your Cruise Manager. On select excursions, we also have a "Late Starter" option for guests who wish to sleep in but do not want to miss key tour highlights. For those guests interested in exploring Europe from an exciting new perspective, we offer guided bicycle and hiking tours in select cities. In addition to our many choices of excursions we also offer our special interest tours such as wine tastings and culinary demonstrations, offering small groups the chance to be even more immersed into the local life. In the event of water level problems on certain stretches of the river, it may be necessary to operate part of the itinerary by motor coach or to alter the daily program as determined by the ship's Captain.
