JoanJetsetter's video: AmaWaterways AmaLea on the Danube - Inside Look

Sailing the Danube with AmaLea is a dream! During AmaLea’s christening cruise on the Danube River, we had our share of stellar excursions to choose from. In 2006, AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to introduce its own fleet of bicycles. Fast-forward to 2018, and daily bike tours to landmarks — such as Austria’s Klosterneuburg Monastery, or through the city of Bratislava, Slovakia — are extremely popular among guests and often fully booked. Active guests on my sailing could also choose to stretch their legs on guided hikes to Castle Hill in Budapest, Hungary; Austria’s Durnstein fortress; or Castle Hill in Passau, Germany. Additionally, walking tours were available in each city, and those with disabilities or those who simply wanted to relax could opt to see destination highlights from an air-conditioned bus. My favorite place onboard was the sundeck, which is complete with a heated pool and swim-up bar, a walking track and comfy couches that are perfect for lazing on in the afternoon. Other notable ship features include a small but adequate gym and two Wine Bar spaces in the main dining room ideal for groups and private parties (or for spicing things up by dining at a shared table with new friends). AmaLea also features connecting and triple-occupancy cabins that are a good match for groups and families. Most staterooms offer the line’s signature twin balconies, and all come equipped with an iMac for browsing the web, listening to music or watching movies and live television. A wall-mounted iPad controls the room’s temperature and lighting with precision and ease. In a dark wood cabinet, guests will find a glass vase meant to hold a single red rose that the captain gives a member from each stateroom upon arrival. It’s the simple, thoughtful and unexpected touches that make sailing onboard AmaLea a truly memorable experience. ___ If you value experiences over consumerism, if you think there's more to life than the 9-5, if you want to travel to every country in the world before you die, subscribe to my channel, and let’s see where we end up next: http://ow.ly/Vx3Xs Snapchat: JoanJetsetter Blog: http://www.joanjetsetter.com/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/JoanJetsetter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoanJetsetter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoanJetsetter Vine: https://vine.co/JoanJetsetter Tumblr: http://joanjetsetter.tumblr.com/ My trip on the Danube was made possible by AmaWaterways.
