AmaSonata

AmaSonata carries just 162 guests, which gives the whole experience a personal, unhurried feel that larger ships cannot match. You sail in a window stateroom, and most cabins on board feature AmaWaterways' signature twin balcony setup, combining a French balcony and a full step-out balcony so you can take in the river scenery from your room throughout the journey. Complimentary Wi-Fi and an entertainment on demand system are included in all cabins.

Dining is taken seriously on board. The main restaurant serves European cuisine in a single relaxed sitting, while the Chef's Table specialty restaurant offers five-star multi-course dinners in a more intimate setting. The Al Fresco Terrace on the upper deck is a good spot for lighter meals as the riverbanks pass by. Up on the Sun Deck there is a heated pool with swim-up bar, a walking track and plenty of open space to watch the scenery. Complimentary bicycles are available at each port for guests who want to explore on two wheels, and a massage and hair salon is available on board for those who prefer something quieter.
