AmaWaterways

AmaCerto

Amawaterways' AmaCerto offers a distinctive river cruise experience. While it's a similar concept, river cruising is quite different than ocean cruising. On a river cruise, you can expect to see the shoreline every day, get off of the ship every day, and enjoy a more comfortable setting with fewer passengers.

Highlights

  • Multiple outdoor decks offering unimpeded panoramic views
  • Sundecks with lounge chairs and retractable roof
  • Main Lounge with bar, piano and dance floor
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the vessel
