AmaVida

Timeless elegance spills from the decks of the AmaVida, a ship that sails Portugal and Spain’s Douro River. Rust and gold color schemes bring together the Douro’s breathtaking sunsets and a sepia hue that conjures timeworn snapshots of the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Most cabins feature balconies from which to enjoy views of terraced vineyards, as well as Entertainment-On-Demand, climate-controlled air conditioning, and an in-room safe.

AmaVida’s passionate chefs will treat you to exquisite, locally sourced cuisine paired with unlimited local wine – and the region’s signature Port – as well as beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner in the Main Restaurant every night. Enjoy a special, multi-course meal at The Chef’s Table, and spend afternoons relaxing in the Main Lounge, where drinks and tapas are served throughout the day. Dive into the captivating beauty of the Douro River, savor the flavors of Portugal, and sail in comfort and luxury onboard the AmaVida.

“Flavors of Portugal and Spain”
5 Stars

Destination: Europe
Working with Dave Levine was a pleasure. We will be using him for all future trips from now on. Very responsive and personable. The cruise and the pre Madrid and post Lisbon went without a hitch. Our Cruise director tended to our every need and was just perfect, fun, personable, etc. This is our 3rd AMA cruise and we have always never been disappointed. The food was wonderful, the staff was so fun and did their job well. We loved every aspect of the vacation. Portugal is gorgeous, wines were outstanding. Excursions were wonderful.

I actually rate this a 4.5. The cruise was GREAT! The staff was GREAT! The ship didn't quite meet my expectations. This was my fifth AMA cruise. I LOVE AMA. I know the cruise ship needed to be smaller to sail the Doura - but felt that the bathroom design was not good. The doors into the shower and toilet area made it difficult to get around in the bathroom. I pity anyone who was larger than I. I also was not thrilled with the Sofitel Hotel in Lisbon. Again - room design was the issue. There was very little storage space. I loved the cruise and the various excursions on the Madrid and Lisbon

From pre cruise Lisbon to post cruise Madrid the trip was marvelous. Amavida was great from cabin to dining to entertainment. Cruise director David was great and very helpful. The Duoro river is beautiful.

The trip was wonderful . The one change I would suggest is somehow less bus rides. It seems that was where everyone was getting sick. We did a private wine tasting and throughly enjoyed . The ones through the cruise were too many people.

“Fantano's Duoro Riverboat Cruise”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 05/18/2024
Destination: Europe
Overall, my wife and I had a very pleasant time on the trip. I do not think I would rate it better than the Seine and Danube trips. I would give AMA an A for the accommodations, ship, and the excursions (A+ for the excursions). The service and food was not outstanding but satisfactory. I thought the ship was understaffed and the local meal-fare was nothing to rave about. I will say the first two nights meals were outstanding.
