LEADING THE WAY IN RIVER CRUISING

Zell, Germany

Dear Traveler:

River cruising continues to gain in popularity, as more travelers realize it is by far themost enjoyable way to explore Europe, Russia and the Mekong in grand style. InEurope, the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal makes it possible to sail through more thana dozen countries on a 3,000 mile-long river network. Cruise from Amsterdam toBudapest, crossing the Continental Divide with an elevation of 1,330 feet. Or, youcan venture out to Eastern Europe cruising through the narrow gorges of the IronGates, sail along the Romanian-Bulgarian border to Bucharest, then stay overnight inBulgaria before ending your journey in one of the world’s greatest cities, Istanbul. Fora truly memorable experience, cruise with AMAWATERWAYS all the way from the“North Sea to the Black Sea.” It’s one of the new itineraries we are proud to presentto you in this brochure.

AMAWATERWAYS continues to win awards for offering the industry’s most innovative products on the fastest-growing fleet in Europe. In2011, we will introduce MS AMAVERDE, sister ship to MS AMABELLA. These two beautiful vessels feature revolutionary design conceptssuch as “Twin Balconies,” multiple fine dining options and more. They join a spectacular fleet that includes MS AMADOLCE, MSAMALYRA, MS AMADANTE, MS AMACELLO, MS AMALEGRO and MS AMADAGIO. Each of these spectacular vessels operates exclusivelyfor the English-speaking market and offers a long list of amenities no other European river cruise ship can match.

Our Destination Cruises in France and Russia continue to enchant passengers. In Russia, we’re proud to introduce MS AMAKATARINA,the most luxurious and spacious vessel ever to sail the famed Volga-Baltic Waterway. And our newest river cruise, on the Mekong inVietnam and Cambodia, has proven successful beyond our expectations. We’re very proud that the majestic new MS AMALOTUS willjoin the elegant MS LA MARGUERITE in the fall of 2011. Both vessels will offer delightful Mekong River cruises as part of our “Vietnam,Cambodia and the Riches of the Mekong” program.

As you can see, there is a wonderful river cruise experience awaiting you in many corners of the world with AMAWATERWAYS.

We hope to welcome you aboard soon.

Sincerely,

Rudi SchreinerPresident

With years of experience in the river cruise and tour operator business, the

experts at AMAWATERWAYS can truly offer an unparalleled river cruise

vacation. Our company was founded as Amadeus Waterways in 2002 by

Rudi Schreiner, Kristin Karst and Jimmy Murphy. All three brought

tremendous experience, knowledge and dedication to the venture. Rudi

was one of river cruising’s pioneers, having introduced the modern-day

river cruise concept to the market in 1994. Kristin brought with her vast

sales and customer service experience, both in Europe and in North

America. And Jimmy Murphy is the founder and former owner of Brendan

Worldwide Vacations. Their combined expertise and passion for the river

cruise business allow us to not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

"...Not only is the concept of the river cruise brilliant,

but the execution was impeccable."

Barbara - Chicago, IL

As award-winning market leaders, we promise to continue living up to the

unparalleled standards for which we are renowned. Put simply:

AMAWATERWAYS is the industry’s expert, leading the way in river cruising.

Our custom-built luxury river ships, the MS AMABELLA, MS AMADOLCE,

MS AMALYRA, MS AMADANTE, MS AMACELLO, MS AMALEGRO and MS

AMADAGIO are boutique ships that we financed, designed and custom-

built with you – our valued travelers – specifically in mind. In 2011, we’ll

introduce the MS AMAVERDE in Europe, the MS AMAKATARINA in Russia

and the MS AMALOTUS in Vietnam. We hope you’ll seize the opportunity

to inspect them in person.9

Boutique Ships,

Our priority in designing our innovative fleet of ships in Europe has always

been to maximize the enjoyment, convenience and comfort of our guests –

not to maximize passenger numbers. That’s why, in order to achieve a high

staff-to-guest ratio and provide more attentive service, we limit most of the

ship’s capacity to no more than 162 guests. This enables us to offer an

unusually large array of world-class public facilities and also equates to a

greater amount of personal space on board, in both public areas and in your

stateroom or suite.

"It was a trip of a lifetime because of your extraordinary

staff, the gourmet meals, and exquisite ship."

Jessica - Denver, CO

Our vessels dock at the central ports that larger ships often can’t reach. They

are the last to be ordered from the water in adverse conditions or when

levels are low, and maneuver easily around bends and into locks, making

them extremely safe on the waterways. And river cruising is smooth sailing

all the way. You don’t have to worry about motion sickness, as you do on

an ocean cruise.

Spectacular

While you’ll definitely be captivated by Europe’s towns, villages and

cities, you’ll also discover that when it comes to river cruising, the

journey is every bit as important as the destination. For the ultimate in

stunning views, you need to look no further than each ship’s expansive

Sun Deck. There, you can bask in the sunshine as 360° views of Europe

literally glide by. Recline in a lounge chair underneath a shady canopy;

grab a book from the onboard Library; sip a cold drink from the bar;

jog a few laps around the walking track; play giant chess; or soak in the

warmth of the heated swimming pool (MS AMAVERDE and MS

AMABELLA) or whirlpool. With a panoramic vantage point, you won’t

miss a single thing. In addition to the Upper Sun Deck, the Lower Sun

Deck and the teak Forward Deck each hold their own unique appeal.

"We had so many unforgettable views of the towns and

villages along the river from the ship. What a way to

see Europe! " Lisa - Orlando, FL

Indoors, the full-length windows of the Main Lounge offer a spacious,

inviting place to unwind without missing the view. The constantly-

changing scenery will capture your imagination and your spirit at every

point in the cruise.

Small Group

Move at your own pace. Enjoy the undivided attention of your Local

Guide. See the sights you want to see. AMAWATERWAYS ensures that you’re

treated with personalized attention, whether on land or on the river. Our

host of complimentary Small Group Shore Excursions provide a world-

class land tour in every destination.

"The included daily excursions gave a great overview of

each port visited. It was such a great way to see Europe...all

the towns, castles, cathedrals, markets, and vineyards."

Bonnie - Dallas, TX

Upon disembarking, you’ll separate into small groups so our Local Guides

can shape the excursion according to your expectations and interests. We

always offer a “Gentle Walkers” group, for those who’d like to explore at

a more leisurely pace. Wherever possible, we will also offer an “Active

Walkers” group, for those interested in covering more ground, and a “Late

Starter” group for those who prefer to sleep in. Whichever group you join,

your experience will be enhanced with the use of our complimentary

headset system. These state-of-the art devices allow you to hear the audio

transmissions from our guides, without the need to huddle together in a

group. It provides maximum flexibility and convenience so that you can

truly explore at your own pace!

Gourmet Dining

Begin with a sophisticated and stylish dining establishment. Toss in a truly

cheerful atmosphere. Add our outstanding cuisine, wonderful wines and

casual yet attentive service. Then sprinkle in gorgeous views of Europe’s

heartland. The result - an outstanding dining experience to be savored.

Our highly-experienced chefs use fresh regional produce to create a range

of culinary masterpieces that highlight the cultures and traditions of the

region. Local wines flow freely at dinner, giving you the pleasure of

sampling numerous fine vintages produced by European vineyards. Guests

aboard the MS AMAVERDE and MS AMABELLA can choose from multiple

dining options each evening.

"We enjoyed the magnificent, locally-inspired meals,

excellent choices in wine and impeccable service.”

Kathy - New York, NY

After your meal, when the stars are sparkling on the water, our superb

onboard entertainment lights up the ship. Whether it’s Hungarian folk

music and dance, a classical quartet or violin concerto, you’re sure to be

enthralled. And though the style of entertainment varies, the outstanding

quality does not. Each night, as different performers come aboard to

enchant and delight, you’ll learn more about the traditions of the region

you are visiting. It’s the perfect complement to each day’s discovery.

Massage, Hair

As you float through Europe’s most beautiful and tranquil scenery,

why not take the opportunity to pamper yourself? We have an

expert Hair Stylist, Masseuse and Beauty Therapist at your disposal

for the duration of the cruise. Nestled in a peaceful corner of the

ship, next to a well-equipped Fitness Center, the Massage, Beauty

and Hair Salon offer a complete range of treatments using only the

finest products available.

“There really is no better time or place to

spoil yourself..." Irene - Los Angeles, CA

Whether you want to soothe your muscles with a relaxing massage,

have your hair perfectly styled before the Captain’s Dinner or

indulge in a revitalizing beauty treatment, you can rest assured that

you’re being taken care of by some of the most qualified

professionals in Europe. Meanwhile, the nearby Sauna provides yet

another option if you just want to unwind and relax in peace, quiet

and privacy. Pamper your body and rejuvenate your spirit while

you’re on board with us. It might seem extravagant, but we’re

confident it will help whisk you a little bit further away from reality.

And, after all, you are on a departure from the ordinary.

On our carefully-planned river cruising schedules, we make sure to

allow ample leisure time to explore charming towns, quaint

villages and vibrant cities. And when it comes to making the most

of that leisure time, AMAWATERWAYS is dedicated to going the extra

mile. Literally.

"It was great to have the option of biking through

the small towns or taking an early morning ride

along the river side.” Tom - Milwaukee, WI

Our ships carry bicycles that are free for you to borrow whenever

you choose. Whether you join a complimentary guided bicycle

tour or venture out on your own, our user-friendly bicycles offer the

ultimate in touring freedom. They also offer you the opportunity to

take a leisurely bike ride along the riverside paths to absorb the

beautiful scenery from a very different vantage point. It’s a unique

and extremely worthwhile spin on river cruising, and one more

example of how AMAWATERWAYS helps you make the most of your

European explorations!

accommodate all passengers for lectures, shore excursion talks and

evening entertainment, complete with a dance floor. Yet, they are

also flexible enough to provide a cozy getaway during the day. Each

The Mekong River begins in the Tibetan plateau, winding its waythrough China’s Yunnan province and the rainforests, plains and ricefields of five Southeast Asian countries before meeting the SouthChina Sea. In terms of length, it’s the 12th largest river in the world,but in terms of historic, cultural and ecological richness - the Mekonghas no equal. The sagas of ancient empires, colonial powers andmodern conflicts have unfolded along her banks. And, through it all,the Mekong remains first and foremost a lifeline. Temples, traderoutes and fishing villages in the river’s path are today untouched bytime, just as the way of life they represent. And nowhere are theriver’s riches more apparent than in the neighboring, but distinctcountries, of Vietnam and Cambodia.

Vietnam’s unique “S” shape includes a broad northern and southernregion, a” mid- section” a mere 30 miles wide, plus a 2,000 milestretch of coastline. Blessed with both natural beauty and a strong sur-vival instinct, the Vietnam of today is one of the most intriguing anddynamic countries in all of Asia. You’ll discover the ancient and themodern existing side by side in bustling Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City,while legends of dragons beckon in the mists of Ha Long Bay.Sharing a border with Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, Cambodia boastsits own distinctive Khmer culture. The once-vast Khmer capital ofAngkor today holds the richest concentration of temples in all ofSouth East Asia. Its most famous landmark, Angkor Wat, is synony-mous with Cambodia’s ancient grandeur. And, cosmopolitan PhnomPenh is a vibrant symbol of the country’s future. All unfold in seam-less luxury with “Vietnam, Cambodia & the Riches of the Mekong.”
