Every since my husband and I experienced our first river cruise on AmaWaterways more than a decade ago, we’ve been loyal fans not only of river cruises in general, but of this exceptional cruise line. As for the cruise experience itself, the fact that you can unpack once in your luxurious suite and immediately begin to explore the culture and history of the destination you are visiting (both from your veranda—as splendid sights pass you by—as well as on well-organized land tours (including guided biking excursions) offered each day. Exquisite gourmet meals accompanied by fine wines, special lectures on the history of your destination, and local entertainment round out this perfectly-orchestrated luxury travel experience.

AmaWaterways already offers a wide selection of destinations, from the major waterways of Europe to the rivers of Africa and Asia. And starting December 2023, there will be another option available to adventurous travelers: a cruise on the Magdalena river which flows through Colombia, South America.

Locally known as “The River of a Thousand Rhythms,” the Magdalena River cruise will offer guests an up-close-and-personal tour into the vibrant cultural and natural heritage that lines the river’s banks. Guests will be able to choose between two seven-night itineraries, with pre- and post-cruise options available.
