AmaMelodia

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.

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.

Vietnam & Cambodia: It is always advisable to travel light in Southeast Asia. For the hot and humid weather, lightweight easy-care clothing that includes some long-sleeved items for protection from mosquitoes and sun, raingear, and sturdy and comfortable walking shoes that you won’t mind getting wet or muddy. We also recommend you pack a few casually elegant items to wear at the Welcome and Farewell dinners.

Africa Cruise & Land Safari: When traveling through Africa, it is always advisable to travel light as some itineraries baggage size and weight are strictly limited. On Safari: casual, easy-care clothing that includes some long-sleeved items for protection from mosquitoes and sun. Attire during Winter (April - September): it is wise to bring some warm clothes for chilly early morning and late night temperatures. Dressing in layers is also recommended, as temperatures rise quickly during the day.

Egypt: Packing light for your Nile River cruise will be no problem as a majority of what you pack into your suitcase will be lightweight clothing items. Breathable clothes will be your answer to most of your outfits. We suggest cotton or linen tee shirts as well as short and long sleeves.

As Egypt, Jordan and UAE are primarily Muslim countries, you should plan to dress modestly to respect the local traditions of the mosques and temples you will be visiting. A lightweight pashmina scarf, veil or shawl is ideal for additional sun protection and as women will need to cover their shoulders and arms. Men can opt for collared shirts and lightweight pants.

Vietnam & Cambodia: We do not employ doctors or nurses on board the ships. In the event medical assistance is needed, appropriate medical facilities will be contacted. Note that response time can vary.

Design Ecologic al Navei

Flota noastră de croaziere pe râuri a fost concepută cu grijă, integrând elemente prietenoase cu mediul. Acestea includ iluminat LED cu consum redus de energie, ferestre speciale izolate care diminuează necesarul de energie pentru încălzire și răcire, sisteme de blocare a alimentării pentru conectarea la rețeaua portuară în locul generatoarelor, instalații solare pentru încălzire, precum și stații de tratare a apei care asigură microfiltrarea și reciclarea întregii ape utilizate la bord. AmaMagna dispune, de asemenea, de o configurație inovatoare cu 10 motoare menită să reducă consumul de combustibil, iar panourile solare au fost instalate pe toate balcoanele cabinelor. În plus, Zambezi Queen utilizează un sistem de propulsie cu jet de apă care protejează fundul râului Chobe, robinete și dușuri cu consum redus de apă, detergenți și săpunuri biodegradabile, precum și o instalație de purificare a apei în cinci etape.

O Experiență la Bord mai Verde

Pentru a diminua consumul total de plastic, folosim paiuri din hârtie (la cerere), sticle de apă din sticlă reîncărcabile în toate cabinele și oferim recipiente de apă reciclabile tip tetra-pak pentru excursii în întreaga flotă (acolo unde este disponibil). Am redus risipa alimentară inutilă generată de bufetele mari prin servirea prânzurilor à la carte la bordul flotei noastre europene. Pentru dispozitivele audio personale utilizate în excursii, suntem mândri să colaborăm cu Quietvox, care folosește pungi biodegradabile din hârtie de orez și baterii reîncărcabile. În plus, etichetele pentru bagaje și portofelele de călătorie practice sunt realizate din material reciclat provenit din sticle de plastic și sunt livrate direct în cabinele oaspeților la bordul navelor noastre din Europa, reducând astfel amprenta noastră de carbon. Utilizarea aplicației noastre inovatoare myAmaCruise și a documentelor de călătorie electronice a redus semnificativ consumul de hârtie atât înainte de croazieră, cât și la bord.

Colombia: All excursions are included.
