AmaViola - Legendary Danube Cruise

June

Pros: Very clean and comfortable ship. Very friendly staff. Excellent dining and lounge areas. Excellent food at all meals. Complete menu. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Too much history on the optional excursions.

Recommended: Yes

We had an excellent time. The AmaViola is a very clean ship. Comfortable dining and lounge areas. Nice sundeck with plenty of chairs. Staterooms were very comfortable. Good beds. We would like to have more information on the timing of daily cruising and optional excursions before the cruise. This would have allowed us to manage free time better. Would like more free time. We felt that the tour guides on the optional excursions went into too much detail on history.

AmaViola Danube trip

May

Pros: Excellent service, great food. We loved the staff.

Cons: The piano player they had every day was irritating to listen to. He played too many notes so the melody was almost impossible to pick out.

Recommended: Yes

This was our first river cruise and I was pleasantly surprised. I appreciated the different levels they offered for the excursions. We found the fast paced one worked best for us. Everything was top of the line.

Fantastic cruise and services with Ama Viola

November

Pros: Ship was clean and well Maintained. Incredible guides for each city we visited, great onboard services, Amazing entertainment on board, all the staff were super friendly, remembered my name and preferences, and were quick to respond to any qestions.

Cons: The only con, and this is very minor, is the coffee in the restaurant. Not so good. However, I just used the coffee machine by the lounge which was excellent!

Recommended: Yes

My husband and I can only say good things about AmaViola. The experience was exceptional on all levels. I would not hesitate to plan another trip with AmaWaterways and, in fact, am already planning another trip.

Marvelous

August

Pros: size of ship, meeting other passengers as only 136 sailed, the staff are friendly, helpful, humourous, food outstanding, excursions well designed

Cons: perhaps taking some more free time but that's not Ama's problem.

Recommended: Yes

We biked one day- about 10 miles and was very doable - mostly flat terrain along The Danube- We biked in Vienna. We weren't certain if it was going to be too strenuous but we managed well. We would certainly sail with Ama again. Great blend of ages on the ship as well. From Budapest to Germany showcased a beautiful countryside with many beautiful towns, cities and landscapes

Cruising the Danube

August

Pros: River Danube, Entire Crew, Food, Excursions, Size of ship, General Organization of daily agenda

Cons: Nothing

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful experience on the AmaViola for one week with our cruise on the Danube River from Budapest to Munich. Beautiful river to cruise seeing fantastic villages, towns & cities from both the ship and shore. Many great excursions that are very well planned. The Viola crew are 1st class and very well trained and it was a pleasure getting to know these young people from all over the world.

Melodies of the Danube

July

Pros: Wonderful staff!

Cons: We were way down a long hall--but it made us get our exercise.

Recommended: Yes

The only thing I don't like about riverboat cruising is when another boat parks next to you so you can't see the river. It's not so bad when you are on the wharf side.
