AmaSerena is a regal river ship accommodating both guests who wish to socialize with kindred cruisers and those seeking private rejuvenation. Twin-balcony staterooms maximize scenic views with amenities that include Entertainment-On-Demand, unlimited Wi-Fi, movies, music and more. Vivid brush strokes on the duvets give local color new life, while sophisticated white marbled bathrooms offer a clean canvas. When it’s time to step out, guests can choose a quiet respite in the inviting library or head to the Main Lounge for cocktails and conversation. Both venues are designed with fabrics in rich reds that call to mind full-bodied Merlots. For a bit of whimsy, the Sun Deck boasts a giant chess set, or you can take a dip in the refreshing pool. As a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the exclusive international culinary society, AmaSerena also offers exquisite, locally sourced cuisine in the Main Restaurant or at The Chef’s Table.
Wonderful experience! The entire staff was extremely helpful, courteous and professional. The food was well prepared and always had a local flair provided by the head chef. The snacks were always available at most any time of day or night. Our stateroom was roomy (for a ship) and the cleaning staff made sure you had a clean and refreshing place to come back to each evening after each shore excursion. Each docking station featured a town on the Rhyne that exhibited it's own special culture and scenic architecture. Each stop featured a local guide well versed on all the local details and offered tips on "do not miss" opportunities that strangers would never know about. The local sidewalk coffee shops and cafes offered a refreshing and relaxing stop along the way. Every town offered many shops and boutiques offering many souvenirs and other items to take back home. Every excursion offered a choice of biking, normal walking or "gentle" walking. Everyone could choose the level of activity that suited them. Perhaps the most relevant person for anyone taking a cruise was the Cruise Director. Our guy was absolutely fabulous. He took care of every detail. You were never left to "fend for yourself". The dining staff made sure you got to know them personally and treated every guest as if they were special. All in all, I could not have asked for a better experience.
Activities - The excursions were amazing. Guides very informative. John (the cruise director) was very organized and made it easy to join the cruise via bus and meeting places. Especially liked the cathedrals, fortress and spyre. Glad we did the pre-cruise to Lake Como. It was totally worth it and the hotel was top notch. Service - Crew was ready to help and answer questions. Dining - Servers were ready to help with preferences and suggestions. Chief's table was outstanding. Food at meals was okay. Oatmeal was runny, tuna melt was too fishy (should not be served), eggs overcooked. The fish was great and plating was very nice. Variety of choices was great. Schnitzel was outstanding. Cabin - Very small. Our stateroom was cleaned but not vacuumed well (found old pills, dust and crumbs on floor), sink not wiped out from toothpaste or hairs. Furniture was very dated and needs to be refurbished. Hallway needs air freshener as it has a stale, bad smell. Plugs for USV ports needed. Entertainment - too tired to join entertainment Disembarkation -very organized, easy to follow John's instructions. John was the best cruise director we have had. He was so informative, organized and made the cruise well worth it. Comments: Food on our previous cruise with Celebrity was far better and I guess we expected it to be similar. Since AMA has been bought by another company, we did not sign up for future cruises. Not sure what changes are ahead.
Our cruise on the AMA Serena was just lovely. We were able to ride bikes through the vineyards, stop at a winery, enjoy a lovely gondola ride above the vineyards, tour some beautiful towns, sailed through the Rhine with its picturesque castles and scenery, and took some afternoon swims in the heated pool. On board, our room was great with a wonderful housekeeper that came by twice a day, the restaurant had delicious food, amazing service, and several choices of wine each evening. Or evening at the chef's table was a night to remember as well. Several courses were served and wines were paired with each course. Desserts, delicious! Entertainment on the ship was lots of fun. We had a gentleman that sang Neil Diamond classics, a trio of String Instruments that were excellent, and another singer that was great and lots of fun. We also had an on board pianist, singer, and DJ who did a wonderful job. Our cruise manager was outstanding. He worked very hard to provide everything we asked for. He was fun, personable, and very competent. All in all, we had a wonderful experience!
This was our first river cruise experience. We have been on 13 big ship cruises. WOW what a difference in personalized service and a HUGE upgrade in quality of food. We truly enjoyed the more 'intimate" small cruise experience. It gave us a chance to meet so many of our fellow passengers. The staff was all amazing, especially our cruise manage Kriss! She was funny, energetic, and managed to remember people's names and faces. I also want to recognize our dining room attendant Mohammed from Egypt. He had a bright smile and went above and beyond for our family. Some of our excursions felt a bit rushed because there were delays, but overall we had a wonderful experience. Rudensheim was probably one of our favorites. We also did the pre cruise stay at Lake Como. The accommodations at the Sheraton were fantastic and we enjoyed the walkability of the area where the hotel was located. The restaurants on site at the hotel were all fantastic as well. The breakfast buffet each morning was a feast with a little bit of something for every nationality or diet.
The ship, staff, service, food and wine were all excellent. There were many different choices on the all the dining menus. The coffee station was always ready and easy to use. The other passengers were friendly and fun. The pool was warm and welcoming. The afternoon sip and sail was also fun and social. My only complaint is the itinerary for our specific cruise. We sailed from Amsterdam up the Rhine and Moselle. Our ship docked at each destination at ~2pm almost every day. As a morning person, this did not work for me. By 2pm, I was chomping at the bit to get started, then felt like once back on the ship, I had to rush to get ready for happy hour and dinner without having any time to relax and shower. This itinerary was not disclosed to us until a few weeks before departure. Had I known, I would have definitely chosen another itinerary that arrived at each destination in the morning. Unfortunately, this did limit my enjoyment of the cruise.
