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
