Between our luxurious onboard gala and local celebrations, there’s nothing quite like a New Year’s cruise with AmaWaterways.

When you join AmaWaterways for a New Year’s cruise, there are so many wonderful ways to celebrate as you count down to midnight. Whether you wish to go into town to see how the locals ring in the year or you prefer dressing up and attending our exclusive, complimentary New Year’s Eve gala, the choice is yours. Plus, you may even be able to grab a glass of champagne and head up to the Sun Deck where we’ll be ready and waiting with blankets to keep you warm as you’re treated to front-row views of awe-inspiring fireworks.

Beyond the celebrations, there are so many great reasons to join us for one of these unforgettable year-end cruises, whether you are recovering from the holidays by letting yourself be pampered by our world-class crew or you are getting a jump start on your New Year's resolutions by participating in our complimentary host-led fitness classes*.
