Why Solo Travelers Choose AmaWaterways

River pace, intimate lounges, and thoughtfully curated tours make connection feel natural—and optional.

Waived supplements on select dates

AmaWaterways frequently offers solo-friendly pricing—perfect for a boutique experience without paying double.

Boutique ships, big heart

Smaller ships mean familiar faces, intimate lounges, and hosts who remember your name and your favorite pour.

Wine, wellness, and storybook towns

Sip, cycle, and stroll through Europe’s most romantic river scenes—solo, but never alone unless you want to be.

Slow Travel, Deep Stories

River cruising is the solo sweet spot: boutique scale, walk-off-the-ship access, and daily chances to join (or skip) small-group tours.

We’ll help you target promos, craft tastings, and line up guides so your days feel effortless and your nights, quietly enchanting.
