Sailing the Mekong River, AmaDara’s design blends local artistry and French colonial influences. Spacious twin-balcony rooms and the lively Saigon Lounge create an inviting setting for experiencing Southeast Asia.

AmaDara sails exclusively on the Mekong River, offering an intimate experience with just 124 guests on board. The ship’s design blends French colonial elegance with Southeast Asian artistry, creating a setting that reflects the character of the region. All staterooms and suites feature twin balconies — both a step-out and a French balcony — so the sights and sounds of the Mekong are always close at hand. Evenings often bring the ship to life in the Saigon Lounge, where guests gather for cultural performances and conversation. With spacious accommodations, a Sun Deck pool, and attentive service, AmaDara offers a distinctive and welcoming way to explore Vietnam and Cambodia.

Gratuities are left to your discretion, but we provide general itinerary and destination-specific guidelines in the My Cruise section under “Prepare Your Cruise” within “Life On Board.” Guests may also choose to pre-pay gratuities for their river cruise and certain pre- or post-cruise land packages. For current rates or details, please contact your travel advisor or the AmaWaterways Reservations team.

AmaDara has 62 staterooms and suites across five categories. All have climate control, flat-screen TVs, spacious bathrooms, and a desk and chair. Every suite and stateroom on board also features both a step-out and French balcony for fresh air and river views. Guests can also opt between the spacious, 366 square feet suite or the 502 square foot luxury suite, both of which have extra living space and thoughtful extras for added comfort.

AmaDara has two dining venues: the Mekong Restaurant, serving elegant cuisine inspired by the regions along the river, and The Chef’s Table, offering a multi-course tasting menu in an intimate setting. Guests can also enjoy drinks and light bites in the Saigon Lounge, a welcoming space for gathering with fellow travelers. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs are happily accommodated.
