AMA Waterways, a premier river cruise company, was founded in 2002 by Rudi Schreiner, Kristin Karst, and the late Jimmy Murphy. The trio, driven by a shared passion for travel, envisioned a river cruise experience that combined luxury with cultural immersion. Similarly, it meant listening to guest feedback and taking it to heart, creating enhancements and innovations, from a fleet of complimentary bicycles to The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant.
AMA Waterways specializes in luxury river cruises across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Their fleet of 29 ships offers all-inclusive experiences featuring gourmet dining, complimentary excursions, and wellness activities. Notably, their ships are equipped with amenities like twin-balcony staterooms, fitness centers, spas, and specialty restaurants. The company also caters to diverse interests through themed cruises, including wine, golf, and wellness journeys.
With these developments, AMA Waterways continues to innovate in river cruising, offering travelers new destinations and enriched experiences while maintaining its commitment to luxury and cultural immersion.
