AmaWaterways’ complimentary onshore experiences offer a range of ways to explore each destination, with up to six options available each day. Choose from guided walks, culinary tastings, bike rides, hikes or hands‑on workshops, all at a pace that feels right for you. Walking tours are often offered at different activity levels, from gentle to more active options and even later starts on select days. Every experience is led by an expert local guide who brings the region’s history, culture and community to life.

Wine Tastings and Culinary Discoveries

Step ashore to taste wine in local vineyards, visit breweries, try local delicacies in markets, and discover the flavors and cuisine of the places you pass through.

For years, AmaWaterways has partnered with local farmers whose families have tended the land along Europe’s rivers for generations. This shared respect for sustainability and connection means every ingredient tells a story. From market-fresh produce to seasonal specialties, we’re proud to bring these flavors to your plate.

Active Adventures by Bike or Hike

Take a more energetic route with guided cycling and hiking tours that blend scenic beauty, cultural insight, and a touch of adventure.

AmaWaterways invites you to nurture mind, body and spirit through our Wellness Program. Guided by a professionally trained Wellness Host, you can join complimentary fitness classes or choose active open-air experiences like guided hikes and bike rides, perfect for discovering each destination from a new perspective. On board, enjoy classes designed to refresh and strengthen, from morning stretches to core conditioning, or explore regionally inspired practices such as tea ceremonies, meditation and tai chi on the Mekong, where traditions shape every moment. With well-equipped fitness rooms and small group classes that foster community, every detail is thoughtfully curated to help you feel balanced and energized as you cruise the rivers of Europe, Asia and Colombia.
