AmaVida was purpose-built for Spain and Portugal’s Douro River, carrying up to 102 guests for an intimate experience through vineyard valleys and historic towns. Her design combines AmaWaterways’ signature comforts — spacious staterooms, attentive service, and elegant common areas — with a true sense of place. Guests enjoy panoramic views from the lounge and Sun Deck pool, excursions to wine estates and medieval villages, and cuisine paired with local wines, creating a cruise that feels both personal and immersive.

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.

AmaVida has 51 staterooms and suites across five categories. All include climate control, flat-screen TVs, spacious bathrooms, and a desk and chair. Many staterooms feature balconies for fresh air and Douro River views, while suites provide extra space, larger sitting areas, and additional comforts for an indulgent stay.

On board, guests will find exquisite, locally-sourced cuisine at the Main Restaurant. Menus highlight Portuguese and Spanish flavors paired with local wine — including the region’s signature Port. Guests can also enjoy afternoon tea, tapas and lighter bites in the lounge, and a specialty coffee station. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs are happily accommodated.
