If you’ve sailed with AmaWaterways before, you’re already part of something special. Their loyalty program isn’t hidden behind layers of bureaucracy — instead, it’s seamless, elegant, and truly rewarding. Whether you’re meandering along the Seine, sipping wine in Bordeaux, or cruising the Danube at Christmas, your loyalty unlocks serious perks.
Here’s exactly what repeat cruisers can expect:
The AmaWaterways Loyalty Program — How It Works
Your loyalty automatically earns you access to a tiered rewards structure — no sign-up necessary. As soon as you’ve completed your second cruise, you’re elevated to BLUE status, unlocking discounts and recognition. With your third cruise, you move to SILVER, and by your fourth (and beyond), you reach GOLD, unlocking the full suite of benefits.
Repeat Cruise Benefits — Tier by Tier
Blue (2nd Cruise)
- $100 per person off the cruise fare
- A warm “Welcome Back” celebration onboard
Silver (3rd Cruise)
- Everything in Blue, plus:
- A welcome amenity (a thoughtful gift)
- Complimentary airport transfers (subject to most arrivals/departures)
Gold (4th+ Cruise)
- All Silver benefits, plus:
- $100 per person discount on a one-category upgrade
- A complimentary one-category stateroom upgrade (availability permitting)
These rewards are per person and per stateroom, and make each return voyage feel like stepping into a new world of refined luxury.
Exclusive Loyalty Appreciation Cruises
AmaWaterways takes guest recognition to another level with its Loyalty Appreciation Cruises—specially curated sailings designed to celebrate returning travelers. These exclusive voyages offer enhanced onboard experiences, thoughtful extras, and a few surprises along the way, all as a heartfelt thank-you to loyal guests.
Each year, a selection of itineraries across Europe and beyond is designated for these special sailings. Past guests can look forward to added touches that elevate the journey—whether you’re exploring the Danube, sailing through the Rhine & Moselle, or discovering the charm of Europe’s Rivers & Castles.
These cruises are among the most popular offerings, and space fills quickly—especially for sought-after itineraries like Gems of Southeast Europe or Enchanting Rhine. Booking early is essential.
Why These Loyalty Benefits Shine
There’s something special about sharing the joy of river cruising with friends and family — and AmaWaterways makes it even more rewarding. Through their Referral Program, returning guests can introduce new travelers to the AmaWaterways experience and receive future cruise savings in return.
When you refer a new guest who books their first AmaWaterways journey in a separate stateroom, both you and your guest will enjoy a special thank-you in the form of future cruise rewards. It’s a thoughtful way to celebrate shared experiences — whether you’re sailing together or exploring separate itineraries.
Referral savings can be applied toward future bookings and, best of all, they can often be combined with other offers, including loyalty rewards and seasonal promotions. AmaWaterways makes it easy to share the love of river cruising — and be rewarded for it.
Effortless enrollment & transparent tiers — no mystery, just perks.
Meaningful rewards — think complimentary transfers, upgrades, onboard credit.
Flexibility and stacking — Loyalty benefits work alongside Referral, Future Cruise, AirPlus, and seasonal offers.
Destination immersion — these benefits amplify your ability to explore in style.
Enhanced brand loyalty — you’re not just a guest; you’re family.
