Award-winning AmaWaterways was a pioneer in the field when it came to providing its riverboats with amenities and aesthetics reminiscent of those found on ocean liners. The more recent ships have heated swimming pools with swim-up bars, and the spacious staterooms have French balconies (sliding doors with railings) or Twin balconies, glass elevators, plush robes and luxury bedding, marble bathrooms, complimentary Internet, Wi-Fi access, and infotainment systems. The vessels, which are some of the newest on the rivers of the world, travel through Europe, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Africa.
