With an increased demand for their river cruise vacations, AmaWaterways has opened reservations for their 2026 sailings earlier than ever before. With each AmaWaterways river cruise, you can expect to indulge in exquisitely prepared, regionally inspired meals, be treated to generous onboard amenities, and experience a variety of included excursions—up to eight each day on select itineraries.
Whether you are looking to secure your stateroom on their popular 10- and 11-night itineraries on the Rhine and Moselle rivers or you want to experience their brand-new cruises on Colombia’s Magdalena River, debuting early in 2025, here are three great reasons to secure your 2026 river cruise with AmaWaterways today.
1. Lock In Your Preferred Stateroom
Dream of taking in the breathtaking views of Austria’s Wachau Valley or the spectacular Danube Bend in Hungary from the comfort and privacy of your stateroom or suite? By reserving your 2026 river cruise now, you will have the widest range of accommodations available to you, including AmaWaterways’ signature twin-balcony staterooms, which feature both a French balcony and an outside balcony. If you are looking to live the “suite” life, reserve one of AmaWaterways’ spacious and elegantly appointed suites in Europe, Asia or Egypt. With full payment not due until 90 days prior to departure, reserving 2026 river cruises now gives you plenty of time and flexibility to save for your unforgettable vacation.

2. Secure Popular Itineraries
Immerse yourself in the joy of the holiday season by reserving your 2026 stateroom on AmaWaterways’ popular Christmas Markets itineraries throughout Europe. Reserving early ensures that you will be able to experience some of the continent’s most popular markets in France, Germany and Hungary during the height of the festivities, which take place in the four weeks leading up to Christmas Day.
Perhaps 2026 is the year you venture to Portugal to experience the unique landscapes of the Douro River. As these popular itineraries fill up quickly, reserving early guarantees your stateroom on one of three ships cruising through the Douro Valley, including the new-for-2025 AmaSintra. On your river cruise, you will explore the picturesque city of Porto, be treated to delectable meals at local wine estates and wander through the spectacular Baroque-style Mateus Palace.
