Dear Traveler,It is a very exciting time for all of us at AmaWaterways. Just 12 years ago, three people started this company with a simple vision: Make our guests happy by providing the best river cruise experiences possible. I still fondly remember that first year, when it was me, Kristin Karst and Jimmy Murphy all working out of a small office to get this idea that we loved off the ground – or, should I say, afloat. Since then, we have grown tremendously, with the number of ships, awards, itineraries and – most important of all – happy guests increasing every year. Through it all, we have remained family-owned and operated, and I’m always delighted that when we hire someone new, I get to say, “Welcome to the Ama family.”
In 2016, we’re pleased to welcome the brand-new AmaViola and AmaStella to our worldwide fleet as well as introduce our newest cruise in the famous Bordeaux region of France. To this day, we remain dedicated to the happiness of our guests, focusing always on innovation, excellent service, the best onboard experience and immersive itineraries. Whichever destination you decide to explore with us, you’re sure to fall in love with our river cruises. Along with the rest of the Ama family, I look forward to welcoming you on board soon.
Sincerely,
Rudi SchreinerPresident

ABOUT AMAWATERWAYSAt AmaWaterways, we love working to provide our guests with only the best travel experiences.
In fact, “Ama” is derived from the Latin word for “love” – an energy that we put into crafting
every aspect of our river cruises. It is this passion that fuels our attention to detail, commitment
to innovation and culture of making our guests our top priority. This is something you can feel
from the moment you step on board, which is why all of our guests have a story about why their
cruise with Ama was the best they’ve ever taken. With award-winning ships that feature an array
amenities, a variety of immersive shore excursions, critically-acclaimed dining and unparalleled
service, AmaWaterways cruises are a traveler’s dream. We truly love having our guests on board,
and it shows.
ThE fAMilY diffEREncEOur company has been family-owned and operated since 2002 by travel industry pioneers:
President Rudi Schreiner, Executive Vice President Kristin Karst, Co-founder Jimmy Murphy, and
his son, Gary Murphy. Together, they have made AmaWaterways the most distinctive line in the
entire industry. Their hands-on approach to management allows us to give attention to every
detail, making an AmaWaterways river cruise truly stand out from the rest.

CRUISE IN COMFORT & STYLEOur ships are inspired by luxury yachts and designed specifically to maximize every aspect of our
guests’ experience. You will notice the difference the minute you step on board and are welcomed
in the beautiful lobby. From then on, you will be treated to an array of unique and luxurious features
as you journey along your itinerary in your floating hotel. Relax and delight in stunning views in
our spacious staterooms, many of which feature twin balconies – a French balcony and an outside
balcony. Enjoy exclusive amenities like massage services, a fitness room and a pool while on board.
Indulge in award-winning cuisine at a variety of dining venues, including The Chef’s Table specialty
restaurant – an experience you won’t find elsewhere. No matter how you spend your time, you’re
sure to see why AmaWaterways ships are considered the best in Europe.
SPACIOUSThe personal space and comfort of our guests are of the utmost importance to us. We carry fewer
people on board so that staterooms and public spaces, such as lounges and restaurants, are roomy
and never overcrowded. This also allows our crew to embrace a proactive approach to exceeding
expectations and dedicate their time to focusing on the needs of each and every guest.
INNOVATIVEOur staterooms feature twin balconies – a French balcony and an outside balcony – and
these can be found on a number of our ships in a variety of stateroom categories. Innovation
continues to be a driving force in every new vessel we design. We invest a great deal of time
into building our ships because we want each one to be perfect, down to every last detail.
We also enhance and refresh our existing ships every year so that guests receive a consistent
experience no matter which major European waterway they choose to cruise on.
UNPRECEDENTED TOP 11Berlitz rated AmaWaterways the highest in its definitive guide to river cruising in Europe.

INDULGE, RELAX AND REJUVENATEOne of the best things about a river cruise is that your accommodations travel with you so you
don’t have to worry about constantly unpacking and finding new places to stay. That’s why we
make sure that our ships feel like much more than your home away from home. With an array of
distinct luxuries on board, you’ll look forward to indulging, relaxing and rejuvenating after a day
of exploring.

EXPLORE EUROPE BY RIVERThe legendary rivers of Europe have long been celebrated in both prose and song. Serving as
major highways during the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, these waterways have continued
their crucial roles as sources of sustenance, avenues of transportation and facilitators of commerce.
Throughout history, major cities, smaller villages, and stalwart fortifications have been built along
their banks. Today, travelers that sail on these magnificent rivers will encounter grand capitals like
Vienna and Paris, charming hamlets and towns, enchanting castles, and other wondrous scenes
from a time long past. You rarely have to wander far from the river bank to discover a wealth
of European art, culture, history and architecture.
The Douro
This major river of the Iberian Peninsula flows from its source in Spain to its outlet in Northern
Portugal. It is here that river cruisers will discover the Douro River Valley - the birthplace of port
wine and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Garonne, DorDoGne anD GironDe esTuary
In the corner of southwestern France, the Garonne and Dordogne rivers merge together to form
the Gironde estuary, which naturally divides the Bordeaux region into left and right banks. Travelers
from around the world flock to this region that is well known for its many gastronomic delights.

The seine anD rhone
The Seine rises in northeastern France near Dijon, flows through Paris, and continues westward
through Normandy to the English Channel. The Rhone flows from its source in the Swiss Alps and
travels south to the Mediterranean, linking thousands of vineyards and wineries in southeastern France.
The Danube
Captured in literature, art and Strauss’s famous “Blue Danube” waltz, this river is one of the
world’s most romantic waterways. Extending for thousands of miles through Central Europe,
the Danube flows eastward, passing four capital cities before emptying into the Black Sea.
The rhine, Main anD Mosel
The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps and flows into Germany, where it joins the Mosel and its major
tributary, the Main. Along these rivers are captivating sights that include castles, stunning vineyards
and verdant valleys.
DuTch anD belGian WaTerWays
A series of connecting rivers, including the Amstel, from which Amsterdam took its name,
connect the Netherlands and Belgium. A voyage along these waterways in the spring offers many
opportunities to watch nature blossom in breathtaking fashion in this picturesque part of the world.

THE CHOBE
This scenic and amazing waterway, only 50 miles from Victoria Falls, forms the northern boundary
of Chobe National Park. It passes through the game-rich ‘Four Corners’ region where Namibia,
Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe meet, home to nearly 500 species of birds and the largest
concentration of elephants in Africa. The river is a rich haven for wildlife, particularly during the dry
season from May to October, when water further inland is scarce. In addition to elephants, a variety
of other animals are drawn to this important water source, including lions, jackals, leopards, hyenas,
giraffes, monkeys, kudu and impalas. Our Africa itinerary, which is a unique combination of a river
cruise and immersive land program, is the ultimate way to experience this must-see part of the world.
THE ExOTiCsWalk the path less traveled. Discover the magic and beauty of a distant land. See the world
through someone else’s eyes. At AmaWaterways, our love for travel inspired us to bring our river
cruise expertise to the more remote parts of the world. With our innovative ships, carefully
designed itineraries, expert guides and immersive tours, you can explore the exotic in elegance
and comfort. Join us on a journey that is sure to delight, amaze and leave you with special
memories that will last forever.

THE MEKONG
Cruise through Vietnam and Cambodia on the fabled Mekong River, also known as the “Mother
of Water.” For centuries, the sagas of ancient empires, colonial powers and modern conflicts have
unfolded along its banks. To this day, the river serves as a vital lifeline to millions of people, and
on our river cruises you will experience a compelling contrast of past and present.
Witness Sampans and motorboats yield to one another as cone-hatted fishermen check their
nets while chatting on cellphones. Take in serene monasteries and thatched stilt huts, as well as
dense cityscapes in capitals like Phnom Penh. It is an awe-inspiring spectacle that simply must
be seen to be believed. Wherever the Mekong takes you, the sincere warmth and friendliness
of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people will leave a lasting impression.
THE AYEYARWADY
There is no better time than now to explore Myanmar (Burma), where travelers are welcome
to experience a land and culture that has been closed off to the rest of the world for decades.
Explore this mystic and spiritual destination along the Ayeyarwady, where you will see former
royal capitals, thousands of temples and pagodas, and authentic daily life – smiling women
in bright sarongs, dark-robed monks and rice farmers leading ox carts. Myanmar is rich with
timeless and exotic sights, and the gracious Burmese people are eager to show off their beautiful,
unspoiled country.

Authentic experiencesOn our exotic itineraries, you will have unique opportunities to not only see the sights, but also be
immersed in the destination you are visiting. We have carefully selected excursions that will place
you amidst the rich and colorful culture of the local inhabitants, rather than merely on the outskirts.
Be an adventurer by day – explore the ruins of ancient temples, be blessed by monks in remote
monasteries, and delve into the unexplored, untried and unfamiliar.
These truly are journeys of a lifetime, and you are sure to return with photos and stories that you can
share with friends and family for years to come. From safaris by boat in search of Africa’s “gentle
giants” to a trishaw ride down the local streets of Vietnam, no matter which itinerary you choose, an
adventure awaits you. Here are just some of the experiences offered in each of our exotic destinations.

Parties: In these terms and conditions, “you” or “passenger” or “participant” refers to the person booking, purchasing or traveling on the cruise, and to individuals traveling as part of that person’s reservation. “We” or “us” refers to Amadeus Waterways, Inc., a California corporation (“AMA”) and AmaWaterways, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“AWL”). AMA offers the travel and enters into these terms and conditions with you pursuant to arrangements made with AWL.
Deposit and Final Payment: To confirm a cruise or cruise & land reservation, we require a deposit of $400 per person for Europe and Asia itineraries and $2,400 per person for Africa itineraries on or before the deposit due date indicated on the confirmation. Transoceanic airline flights and packages require an additional deposit of $350 per person for economy class or $600 per person for business/first class flights. Certain airline tickets require non-refundable, full payment at the time of reservation. Hotel Extra Nights require a non-refundable deposit of $50 per person at the time of confirmation of the hotel availability. Final payment is due no later than 90 days before the travel start date.
Pricing: All prices are in US dollars. In the event that a cruise fare listed, quoted or advertised through any website, printed collateral, reserva-tions person, travel agent or any other source is booked, but is incorrect due to an electronic error, typographical error, human error or any other error causing the fare to be listed, quoted or advertised for an amount not intended by AmaWaterways, AmaWaterways reserves the right to correct the erroneous fare by requesting the passenger to pay the correct fare intended, or by canceling the cruise. Airfares, air taxes and air surcharges quoted on your invoice or by a reservation agent are only guaranteed once airfare deposit or full payment is received by AmaWaterways. AmaWaterways reserves the right to increase prices without notice.
Prices Do Not Include: Published prices do not include vessel fuel surcharges; passport and visa fees; baggage fees; port charges and fees; travel, health, accident or other insurance; vaccinations; laundry; additional food and beverages; optional excursions; gratuities or other items or services of a personal nature.
Cancellation Charges: In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice to AmaWaterways must be via email to [email protected], which must include a return receipt and read notation, or other writing stating clearly and correctly each guest’s name, ship name, start and end date of the cruise and a brief statement of the reason for cancellation. Other forms of notice are not sufficient. The effective date of the cancellation is the date we receive the written cancellation notice. Name changes, a substitution of a participant or a reduction in the number of guests in a stateroom are treated as a cancellation in that all applicable cancellation charges apply. Cancellation charges for bookings within charter and part-charter agreements are as per the charter contract. All other cancellation charges are per-person, based on the cancellation date, as follows:
terms & conditionsPassport and Visas: A valid passport is required for each participant. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date to your home country. For travel to Asia, we require a copy of your valid passport prior to or at final payment. If not received at this time, embarkation may be denied and cancellation penalties will apply. Guests on the Vietnam/Cambodia Cruise & Land program must obtain a Multiple Entry Visa for Vietnam, as they will have two different points of entry into Vietnam, and a Single Entry Visa for Cambodia. Guests on the cruise only Vietnam/Cambodia itinerary will require a single entry visa for Vietnam and Cambodia. For travel to Africa, a valid passport with 8 open/non-stamped pages is required. At publication time, a visa is required for a US citizen to travel to Turkey, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe (as well as numerous other countries). Non-US citizens must consult the appropriate consulates regarding visa and other document requirements. Obtaining required visas and any other required travel documentation, and assuring these are complete and correct in all ways, is the sole responsibility of each participant. We are not in a position to obtain or verify the accuracy or completeness of any participant’s visa or other required documentation and shall not be responsible or liable for delay or missed portion of any part of the itinerary or other problems resulting from the participant lacking the appropriate travel documentation.
GENERAL PROVISIONSCruise and Cruise & Land Itineraries: Carrier seeks to provide services as published or stated in the final documents. But deviations to planned cruise, cruise & land itinerary or any other aspects of the travel may occur. If conditions make cruise routes unsafe for navigation or in other respects, or raise sufficient doubt about safety, Carrier reserves the right to modify or provide alternate services. These may include, but are not limited to, providing accommodation on the docked ship and/or substituting ground arrangements. An effort will be made to try to arrange elements of the cruise and cruise tour similar to those originally planned, but the level of similarity may vary. Except as otherwise provided in your Passenger Ticket Contract, such changes will not entitle you to any credit or a refund. Cruise, cruise & land routes, and all other aspects of the cruise and travel are subject to change with or without notice.Hotel Accommodations: We will seek to use hotels listed (if any) on your confirmation. Changes may be necessary, therefore use of such hotels is not assured. An effort will be made to substitute similar hotels, but the level of similarity may vary. Standard policy for hotels is to have rooms available for check-in no earlier than 3:00 p.m. Subject to the discretion of the hotel, triple-occupancy hotel accommodations may involve the use of hotel rooms with just two beds. Only those guests who have elected to take our Cruise & Land program on the brochure itinerary dates will receive transfers between the hotel(s) and the ship.
