An immersive river cruise through Colombia’s cultural heartland, sailing the vibrant Magdalena River in comfort and style.
AmaWaterways’ story began in 1975, when Co Founder and President Rudi Schreiner travelled to South America on a journalism assignment along the Amazon. During that journey he designed his first vessel, crafting a simple raft that carried him up and down the river for seven months. That pioneering spirit later shaped a career in travel dedicated to creating distinctive and immersive river experiences.
Today, family owned and operated, AmaWaterways is recognised for its refined approach to river cruising. Guests can expect high quality, locally sourced cuisine paired with carefully selected wines, elegantly appointed ships with staterooms designed to maximise views, and a crew known for warm, attentive service. The atmosphere on board is welcoming and personal, with a strong sense of care and detail throughout.
Innovation remains central to the brand. From the launch of the spacious AmaMagna to pioneering sailings along Colombia’s Magdalena River, AmaWaterways continues to expand the horizons of river cruising. With a growing focus on sustainability and cultural connection, each journey is designed to offer meaningful insight into the landscapes, communities and history found along some of the world’s most iconic rivers.
