Europe & Beyond


AMAVOYAGESIn answer to our guests’ growing desire to explore more remote corners of the world, we developed

an entirely new division – AmaVoyages – to offer itineraries in Portugal, Vietnam & Cambodia,

Myanmar (Burma) and Africa.

AmaVoyages ships have onboard amenities and services that differ somewhat from our flagship

European fleet, but these newly built or redesigned vessels deliver the highest standards available

on the rivers on which they sail. These ships feature beautiful décor, comfortable accommodations,

delicious western and regionally-inspired cuisine, and wonderful onboard staff.

From the spectacular scenery of the African savannah to the ethereal temples of Angkor Wat, these

one-of-a-kind journeys are as life-enhancing as they are unforgettable. Gaze upon centuries-old

pagodas covered in gold in Myanmar. Experience the thrill of a safari drive and spotting the “Big

Five” with your very own eyes. Spend a night in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and cruise through Portugal’s

otherworldly Douro River Valley. Along the way, enjoy the expertise of knowledgeable AmaVoyages

guides, and the company of interesting, like-minded travelers. There is truly no better way to see the

world, one river at a time.

choosiNg a safariWHATEVER YOUR TASTE, WE HAVE A JOURNEY THAT IS pERFECTLY SUITEd FOR YOU

There are many factors to consider when selecting the safari that’s best for you. Two of the most important are where to go and when. We offer three tantalizing land programs in Southern Africa and East Africa with departures throughout the year. The winter dry season from may to October is usually considered the most optimal, when vegetation is sparse and animals gather at water sources. But every season has its own unique charms, making Africa an enticing destination almost any time of year.

South africa South Africa is renowned for its natural beauty, wildlife, good weather, and diverse range of experiences, from safaris to wine estates to scenic coastal drives to chic urban nightlife. It also boasts some of the largest tracts of untamed wilderness on the entire continent. For safari-goers eager to spot the “Big Five,” the main draw is Kruger, South Africa’s famous national park, and the private game reserves that surround it (as well as concessions located within the park itself). peak season is the dry winter months from April to September, although game-viewing in South Africa is generally favorable year-round.

botswana & namibia Botswana is home to the renowned Chobe National park, where the elephant population is estimated to be the greatest in the world. All three of our African itineraries include a 4-night river safari along the Botswana/Namibia border aboard the Zambezi Queen. You will also have additional opportunities to view wildlife from small motorized expedition boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. The best game-viewing periods in the Chobe River region are during the winter dry season, may through October.

tanzania Serengeti National park in Tanzania boasts one of the most diverse populations of wild animals anywhere on Earth. The best game-viewing may be in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, “Africa’s Eden,” and the Serengeti, where you can observe herds of zebra, wildebeest, gazelle and Africa’s greatest concentration of lion. Tarangire, the sixth largest national park in Africa, will offer you the chance to see the highest density of wild life outside of the Serengeti ecosystem. You will also visit Lake manyara National park, best known for its famous tree-climbing lions. most of our East Africa departures fall during peak season months, June through November, which offer optimal weather and coincide with the annual Great migration, when nearly two million large animals can be seen on the move.

Parties: In these terms and conditions, “you” or “passenger” or “participant” refers to the person booking, purchasing or traveling on the cruise, and to individuals traveling as part of that person’s reservation. “We” or “us” or “AMA” refers to Amadeus Waterways, Inc., a California corporation. We offer the travel and enter into our full terms and conditions with you pursuant to arrangements we have made with AmaWaterways, LLC, a California limited liability company (“AWL”). For complete and updated terms and conditions, please visit www.AmaWaterways.com.Reservation and Final Payment: To confirm a cruise or cruise & land reservation, we require a deposit of $400 per person for Europe, Vietnam/Cambodia and Myanmar itineraries and $2400 per person for Africa itineraries on or before the deposit due date indicated on the confirmation. A deposit of $300 per person is required for Intra-Africa air. Once airline arrangements have been accepted, an additional deposit of $300 per person is required to confirm said arrangements. Hotel Extra Nights require a deposit of $50 per person at the time of confirmation of the hotel availability. Final payment is due no later than 90 days before the land/itinerary start date. Pricing: Brochure prices are in US dollars, per person, based on double occupancy of a stateroom, or standard hotel room, unless stated otherwise. Single rates are available; please refer to individual itineraries. In the event that a cruise fare listed, quoted or advertised through any website, printed collateral, reservations person, travel agent or any other source is booked, but is incorrect due to an electronic error, typographical error, human error or any other error causing the fare to be listed, quoted or advertised for an amount not intended by AmaWaterways, AmaWaterways reserves the right to correct the erroneous fare by requesting the passenger to pay the correct fare intended, or by canceling the cruise. Airfares, air taxes and air surcharges quoted on your invoice or by a reservation agent are only guaranteed once airfare deposit or full payment is received by AmaWaterways. AmaWaterways reserves the right to increase prices without notice. Prices Do Not Include: Published prices do not include vessel fuel surcharges; passport and visa fees; baggage fees; port charges, port taxes and fees; travel, health, accident or other insurance; vaccinations; laundry; additional food and beverages; optional excursions; gratuities or other items or services of a personal nature.Cancellation Charges: In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice to AmaWaterways must be via email, which must include a return receipt and read notation, or other writing stating clearly and correctly each guest’s name, ship name, start and end date of the cruise and a brief statement of the reason for cancellation. Other forms of notice are not sufficient. The effective date of the cancellation is the date we receive the written cancellation notice. A name change or substitution of participant is also treated as a cancellation in that all cancellation charges apply. Cancellation charges are per-person, based on the cancellation date, as follows:

terms & conditionsPassport and Visas: A valid passport is required for each participant. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date to your home country. For travel to Vietnam/Cambodia and Myanmar, we require a copy of your valid passport prior to or at final payment. If not received at this time, embarkation may be denied and cancellation penalties will apply. Guests on the Vietnam/Cambodia Cruise & Land program must obtain a Multiple Entry Visa for Vietnam, as they will have two different points of entry into Vietnam, and a Single Entry Visa for Cambodia. Guests on the cruise only Vietnam/Cambodia itinerary will require a single entry visa for Vietnam and Cambodia. For travel to Africa, a valid passport with 8 open/non-stamped pages is required. At publication time, a visa is required for a US citizen to travel to Turkey, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe (as well as numerous other countries). A non-US citizen must consult appropriate consulates regarding visa and other document requirements. Obtaining required visas and any other required travel documentation, and assuring these are complete and correct in all ways, is the sole responsibility of each participant. We are not in a position to obtain or verify the accuracy or completeness of any participant’s visa or other required documentation and shall not be responsible or liable for delay or missed portion of any cruise or cruise tour or other problems resulting from the participant lacking the appropriate travel documentation.

GENERAL PROVISIONSCruise and Cruise/Tour Itineraries: We seek to provide services as published or stated in the final documents. But deviations to planned cruise, cruise tour itinerary or any other aspects of the travel may occur. If conditions make cruise routes unsafe for navigation or in other respects, or raise sufficient doubt about safety, we reserve the right to modify or provide alternate services. These may include, but are not limited to, providing accommodation on the docked ship and/or substituting ground arrangements. An effort will be made to try to arrange elements of the cruise and cruise tour similar to those originally planned, but the level of similarity may vary. Such changes will not entitle you to any credit or a refund. Cruise, cruise/tour routes, and all other aspects of the cruise and travel are subject to change with or without notice.Accommodations: We will seek to use hotels listed (if any) on your confirmation. Changes may be necessary, therefore use of such hotels is not assured. An effort will be made to substitute similar hotels, but the level of similarity may vary. Standard policy for hotels is to have rooms available for check-in no earlier than 3:00 p.m.

Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel, change or postpone any departure date and itinerary. For complete cancellation of a cruise or cruise tour, we will refund monies paid for the cruise or cruise/tour to a participant who has not previously cancelled.

Disclaimer of Responsibility: Our arrangements are with AWL, and they arrange with others for services described in this confirmation and in our brochures. Transport on river cruise ships
