Cruise Line ProgramsFamily-owned luxury river cruising with a strong focus on food, wine and active travel.
AmaWaterways is a family-owned river cruise line known for its service, its food and wine program, and its range of rivers.
Many of its European ships offer twin-balcony staterooms, and the line carries bikes on board and offers active excursions alongside classic sightseeing. Beyond Europe, it sails the Mekong, the Nile and Africa’s Chobe River.
For a group that wants a polished, active river program, AmaWaterways is a strong choice. If you are still weighing lines against each other, the at-sea overview lays out how we compare them.
A strong culinary program with regional wines and a dedicated chef’s table on many ships.
Bikes on board and guided hikes and cycling tours for active attendees.
Many staterooms have both a French and an outside balcony.
River ships are small, so full charters suit many programs.

Buy the Sea has been placing corporate groups at sea for twenty-six years, across every major line. We know how AmaWaterways works, and we know what to ask for and when to ask for it so that your program gets the ships, the spaces and the dates it needs. That is the part we handle.
Bring us a headcount, a budget and a range of dates. We will come back with real options with AmaWaterways — and across every other line, because we represent all of them and we are paid by the cruise line, never by you. There is no fee, no markup and no obligation. Here is why that matters.
Within reason, and often more of it than planners expect — signage, screens, key cards, venue naming and private events are all on the table. What is possible comes together at negotiation, and we will walk you through it.
Yes, subject to dates. River ships carry a small number of guests, so a full charter is often the best fit for a corporate group.
Nothing. We are compensated by the cruise line, never by you. Twenty-six years of doing it this way is covered in why Buy the Sea.
