Sailing with AmaWaterways during Low Water Levels: Basel to Amsterdam

11September2026

Sailing with AmaWaterways during Low Water Levels: Basel to Amsterdam

Sailing with AmaWaterways during low water levels: Basel to Amsterdam I’ve sailed with AmaWaterways three times now, so when I booked the Basel to Amsterdam itinerary on the Rhine, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect: great food, lovely ships, friendly staff and the kind of service that makes a river cruise feel genuinely special. What I didn’t expect was to find out, just two days before we were due to travel, that our cruise was going to be severely disrupted by low water levels on the Rhine. And yet, despite the uncertainty, we all decided to go. Looking back, I’m very glad we did. Explore AmaWaterways Cruise Deals Low water levels Two days before departure we were informed our cruise was changing. The news wasn’t exactly what you want to receive just before heading off on holiday. Due to the low water levels on the Rhine, our original itinerary was no longer possible. We would still have the first couple of days of the trip, travelling from Basel to Strasbourg, but after that things were going to be very different. Instead of continuing along the Rhine as planned, we would spend some time travelling by coach through Luxembourg towards Belgium to join a different AmaWaterways ship. From there, we would follow a new itinerary towards Amsterdam. As a group of seven friends, we discussed the alternative itinerary and all came to the same conclusion - let's go! AmaWaterways was also offering a 40% Future Cruise Credit to passengers who decided to travel despite the disruption. There were seven of us travelling together and, after discussing it, we all came to the same conclusion: we were going. We’re very much the type of people who enjoy spontaneity and making the most of the situation. We had already travelled into Europe, so why not see what adventure was waiting for us? Having already experienced their ships, food and service on an AmaWaterways cruise, I knew that everything would be handled professionally and AmaWaterways did everything they could to make the alternative arrangements work seamlessly. Reorganising the itinerary Once we arrived and were on board, it became increasingly clear just how much work had gone on behind the scenes to organise arrangements for our new itinerary. The alternative coach journey part of the trip turned out to be one of those unexpected travel days that we’ll treasure as part of our holiday, particularly the city tour of Luxembourg. The whole journey was extremely well organised. Everything that could have been planned was planned, and the arrangements worked remarkably smoothly considering the circumstances. Visiting Luxembourg None of us had expected to be taking a city tour there when we booked a Rhine cruise from Basel to Amsterdam, so our arrival in Luxembourg was actually a pleasant surprise! The unexpected stop gave us something completely different to experience, and the whole day ended up being surprisingly relaxed. Rather than feeling like we were being rushed from one contingency plan to another, it was very chilled and enjoyable. That, for me, was one of the biggest positives of the whole experience. Ama couldn't change the water levels on the Rhine, but what they could do was make sure that the disruption didn't become our problem. AmaWaterways did everything they could and we were impressed with how well they had reorganised the itinerary. A cruise affected by low water levels is one of those situations where the cruise line has to work with circumstances completely outside its control. What matters is how they respond, and I thought AmaWaterways handled it very well. There was a lot of moving parts, yet everything was well organised and, as far as we could see, very well planned. There were no major issues and Ama made every effort to ensure we continued to have a great holiday rather than spending the trip worrying about what we had missed. What I love about AmaWaterways Even with all the changes, the things I love about AmaWaterways remained exactly the same: The food The food is always one of the highlights for me. There’s plenty of choice, the quality is excellent and meals are a genuine part of the experience rather than simply something you need to fit around sightseeing. The ships I really enjoy the feel of an AmaWaterways ship. They have that lovely combination of being comfortable and elegant without feeling overly formal. There’s enough space to relax, and after a day exploring, it’s wonderful to come back on board and feel like you’re properly on holiday. The staff The staff make such a difference. When plans are changing and passengers are naturally wondering what’s happening next, having friendly and helpful people around you is incredibly important. Throughout the disruption, the Ama team did their best to keep everything moving and make the experience enjoyable. The excursions One of the reasons I enjoy river cruising is that you can see a lot without having to organise everything yourself. There are different ways to explore destinations, and having choices means you can pick the experiences that suit you. Our unexpected Luxembourg visit was a perfect example of how an alternative experience can become a highlight in its own right. Would I sail with AmaWaterways again? Absolutely! In fact, we didn't just talk about sailing with AmaWaterways again; we booked another cruise as soon as we got home. For me, this trip reinforced why I like AmaWaterways so much. Even when circumstances completely outside their control meant that the original itinerary couldn't happen, they were able to reorganise the trip, move hundreds of passengers around, arrange alternative experiences and get everyone where they needed to be. We went expecting a Rhine cruise from Basel to Amsterdam, and got something completely different, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We are all booked for 2027 and are so excited for our next adventure with AmaWaterways! If my experience with AmaWaterways inspired you, call our river cruise specialists and they'd be more than happy to discuss your future river cruise plans. Deals for AmaWaterways

Our First Look On Board S.S. Emilie

Our First Look On Board S.S. Emilie

Our First Look On Board S.S. Emilie My colleagues and I had the honour of being amongst the first people to stay on board Uniworld's brand-new ship, S.S. Emilie. Named after the beloved muse of famed Viennese painter Gustav Klimt, it's safe to say S.S. Emilie is a work of art in her own right! First Impressions of S.S. Emilie Upon arrival at the port in Amsterdam, embarkation was relaxed and easy. A member of staff was waiting at the bottom of the gangway to take our luggage to our staterooms, and we were greeted on board by a smiling waiter with a glass of champagne. When you embark the ship, you step straight into the main atrium, which really takes your breath away with a sweeping staircase, a grand chandelier and a floor-to-ceiling mural of Emilie Floge. The stylistic elements throughout the ship were classic with a modern twist, with hues of green, blue and yellow, as well as striking gold accents and mahogany, which really make the colours pop. The artwork throughout the ship, as a nod to Gustav Klimt's work, is strikingly beautiful, whilst still offering a very chic and relaxed atmosphere. The Onboard Experience I stayed in a Suite which was very spacious at 286 sq ft, with a large comfortable bed facing floor-to-ceiling French Balcony windows, so you can wake up to the lovely views of the river. Two TV one on the wall and one that came down remotely above the bed. The beds are the comfiest I have ever slept in, equipped with Savoir mattresses and pillows, which are used by the royal family, and sateen sheets. My suite had a large marble bathroom with a power shower and a double basin vanity area, with Asprey toiletries and 100% Egyptian Cotton towels. We also had a walk-in wardrobe with bathrobes and slippers, a hairdryer and a minibar stocked with soft drinks and beer. Aside from my suite, some of my favourite spaces on board included the Sun Deck, which has sun beds and loungers to relax on with waiters on hand to serve whatever drinks you wish. Also The Brocade Bar at the aft of the ship has an outdoor area that really gets the sun, with tables and chairs to sit and sip whilst you sail, as well as a 24/7 Nespresso coffee machine and fresh cookies to hand. Dining Highlights All meals are served either in the main dining room or the buffet, with an excellent variety of dishes that change daily. At lunch, I enjoyed fish, fresh pastas and on one of the days, boneless lamb, which just melted in the mouth. Each night offered plenty of variety in the form of regionally inspired appetisers, soups, mains and desserts. Always available options were sirloin steak, free range chicken breast and Norwegian salmon. The service in the restaurant was exceptional, with friendly, attentive staff who brought out the food at the perfect pace and ensured our wine glasses were topped up. A lot of staff have worked for Uniworld for over 10-15 years and they are trained to the highest standard, coming from some of the leading hotels of the world. With a staff ratio of 2-1, all the staff seemed happy to be there, and nothing was too much trouble. As an example, one of the ladies on my table at dinner had a preference for a specific rosé wine, so the following day the sommelier got off the ship in Amsterdam to acquire some and ensured it was brought immediately over to her that evening! I feel incredibly lucky to have been one of the first people to stay aboard the amazing S.S. Emilie and I can't wait for our customers to experience it for themselves.

I recently attended the CLIA RiverView conference in Amsterdam and was fortunate enough to spend time on board a number of beautiful river cruise ships, each offering something spectacular for its guests. Explore River Cruise Deals Avalon View I spent a night on board the beautiful, contemporary Avalon View, and stayed in an award-winning Panorama Suite with a luxuriously comfortable bed. On board an Avalon Waterways cruise, 80% of the cabins available are Panorama Suites – a unique feature of this cruise line that allows guests to wake each morning to spectacular river views and enjoy the sunrise from the comfort of their own cabin. Avalon offers a 5* onboard experience, with ships that feel homely with a relaxed luxury ambience. I felt immediately welcome on board by attentive staff and beautiful, light décor throughout, and my cabin offered the perfect sanctuary with comfortable beds and luxurious L’Occitane amenities! Explore Avalon River Cruise Deals Emerald Luna I enjoyed an incredible tour of the beautiful Emerald Luna and was immediately impressed by the light and airy décor throughout, which gave the ship a contemporary luxury feel. One extraordinary feature of this innovative ship is the heated indoor pool, which has a retractable roof and a bar, and even transforms into a cinema on selected evenings and sailings. This is the perfect space to enjoy the ultimate relaxation during the daytime, and a unique entertainment experience in the evening! The cabins on board Emerald Luna are spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with plenty of storage and ESPA bathroom amenities – a true luxury experience on the river.

Explore Riviera River Cruise Deals Amadeus Riva With one of the youngest fleets on the rivers, I was delighted to see first-hand what Amadeus has to offer. Launched in 2023, Amadeus Riva was modern, sophisticated and elegant, with an onboard ambience that felt akin to the serenity of a luxury spa. The décor was welcoming and calming, the staff were immediately attentive, and the facilities were incredibly well-equipped, including a beautiful massage room and a small fitness room. A standout feature of the Amadeus fleet is its incredible commitment to sustainability, with the fleet having received the Green Award for its environmental standards.
