Special Things about Amawaterways
When you have free time and the ship is not immediately accessible to the town center there are shuttle busses provided. And when we were docked on the Buda side of the Danube river our wonderful Cruise Director, Csaba, not only showed us where the free ferry to the Pest side was but walked us down to the landing himself every hour on the hour.
Movies and music on demand are free as well as internet access and wi-fi in each cabin. Room stewards prepare the staterooms with robes and slippers, bottles of water and for our Christmas Time Cruise they even gave us candy dishes full of local goodies
The forward lounge is a comfortable gathering place with a panoramic view of the river. Here you find the magic drink machine, a self-serve push-button gizmo that makes 8 different kinds of hot drinks including, coffee, espresso, latte, hot cocoa, etc. It is available day and night and right next to it is a 3-tiered pastry server full of homemade cookies and cakes. Its complimentary.
Start your day by visiting the champagne table at breakfast and enjoy the delicious local wines chosen to pair with your dinner every evening all for free.
In milder weather you may want to take out one of the bicycles stored in a large locker on the sundeck and enjoy the picturesque countryside at a leisurely pace. And for more serious cyclists there are opportunities to stretch your legs as some do when they leave the ship in Passau and rejoin the ship in Linz covering 32 miles of breathtaking scenery.
