Why we love destination weddings?

Cost savings
Destination weddings are budget-friendly powerhouses, offering savings of up to 40% compared to conventional weddings

Intimate Bliss
Say goodbye to wedding guest-list headaches! Destination weddings create an intimate, close-knit vibe, perfect for celebrating with your cherished inner circle.

Extended celebration
Enjoy a celebration that goes beyond a single day. It's not just a wedding; it's a multi-day experience filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.

Picture-Perfect Backdrops
Forget ordinary venues. Picture yourself in exotic, jaw-dropping locations that turn your wedding into a visual masterpiece. Your photos will be breathtaking!

Built-In Honeymoon
Destination weddings can seamlessly transition into honeymoon mode, saving on travel expenses and time traveling, giving you more time for each other.

Stress-Free Bliss
Your travel advisor takes care of the travel logistics for you and your guests, and many resorts and venues offer wedding coordinators and stunning all-inclusive wedding packages, leaving you free to focus on the fun stuff and creating unforgettable memories.

A survey by Destination Weddings Travel Group revealed that 87% of couples said the top reason for having a destination wedding was to have a more intimate celebration with close family and friends.

A study by the ISDWP
(International Society of Destination Wedding Professionals) found that 47% of couples said they had fewer planning challenges with destination weddings compared to traditional weddings.

River Cruise on AMA Waterways

Where Luxury Meets Wanderlust

Travelling at a slower pace allows guests to have more time exploring each charming town and bustling city either exploring on their own with AMA Waterways’ complimentary bike service or along one of the included excursions in each destination.  When taking a break from hopping on and off the ship and exploring new destinations enjoy quiet moments at the spa, join the wellness host for a rejuvenating fitness class, or enjoy the culturally rich entertainment on board that includes musicians, folkloric dancers and storytellers who live and work in the cities you visit along the way.

When it’s time to dine, you’ll never be disappointed, with menus crafted by expert chefs that feature locally-sourced cuisine, as well as specialty dining at The Chef’s Table, an intimate specialty restaurant where you can watch the chef prepare a gourmet multi-course menu right in front of you.

While recharging in your stateroom, you will never be without views from your twin balconies - a French balcony and a full outside balcony, providing a unique panoramic view of the beautiful sights along the river.

Included: Gourmet dining, unlimited wine and beer with lunch and dinner, wifi, complimentary bicycles, selection of included tours, day and night time entertainment, wellness classes.

Unique Feaures:

  • Unique themed destination cruises like magical Christmas Market Cruises, or  Wine River Cruises, hosted by a wine professional who leads you through tastings, interactive discussions, accompanies you on select shore excursions to vineyards and cellars, and helps curate a special food and wine pairing dinner on board.
  • Chefs table experience- an included specialty restaurant experience where you can watch the chef prepare a delicious multi-course menu right in front of you. Each dinner at The Chef’s Table is served with complimentary hand-selected local reds and whites from Europe’s renowned wine regions.
  • Most of the staterooms in the fleet feature not just one, but two private balconies — a French balcony and a full outside balcony.
  • Most rooms have the possibility of being a connecting room making it ideal for multigenerational families travelling together.
  • Golf lovers can participate in AmaWaterways’ Exclusive Concierge Golf Program which includes 7 nights on board the AmaMagna, taking you to some of Europe’s most prestigious golf courses including everything you need for your best game yet.
