What is included in an AmaWaterways cruise?

Meanwhile, booking that same sailing through Terra Firma Travel via Virtuoso secures exclusive amenities—such as up to $300 in shipboard credit per stateroom, priority stateroom advocacy, combinable past-guest loyalty points, and custom-tailored handling for pre- and post-cruise land logistics.
Why should I book AmaWaterways through Terra Firma Travel rather than directly online?
04
For guests with limited mobility, ships feature elevators accessing main stateroom decks and offer gentle-paced walking groups during shore excursions.
However, because historic river ports often feature cobblestone streets and stairs, guests with significant mobility limitations are encouraged to consult with Terra Firma Travel before booking to choose the best vessel and itinerary.
