Why Book With Us
Booking Direct or Booking by Small Ship Travel
A AmaWaterways voyage can be booked direct or by Small Ship Travel. What changes is what comes with it: advice that compares across cruise lines before you commit, an advocate who knows you and your booking if plans change, and, for Loyalty Program members, 2% to 5% credit per booking on top of any rewards from the cruise line. Getting the fit right the first time is the real saving.
| Book Direct | Book by Small Ship Travel | |
|---|---|---|
| Loyalty credit | The line's own program | 2–5% credit earned per booking for members, in addition to any rewards you receive from the cruise line* |
| Advice | AmaWaterways's ships, known well | We compare across Viking, AmaWaterways, Silversea, and the rest, then put you on the right one |
| Cabin selection | Brochure categories | Which cabins to target on this ship, and which lose their view and natural light when a second ship moors alongside |
