If you’re considering an AmaWaterways river cruise in Colombia, this is the embarkation day cruise review you don’t want to book without watching first.

We begin our journey on our 7 day sailing with AmaWaterways on the AmaMagdelena Cruise Ship, we’re sharing our completely honest Good, Bad & Ugly Embarkation Day Cruise Vlog and cruise review. From the food, excursions, service, and value to the things that surprised us (and a few that genuinely scared us), we’re breaking down exactly what it’s like to cruise with one of the world’s most popular luxury river cruise lines on a Colombia River Cruise.

Whether you’re comparing AmaWaterways to Viking, Avalon, Uniworld, Tauck, or Scenic—or simply wondering if river cruising is worth the price—we hope this cruise review helps you make the best decision for your next vacation.

👇 In this video:
• What AmaWaterways does better than almost anyone
• The cabins, food, included excursions & onboard experience
• The biggest surprises we encountered
• Who we think AmaWaterways is perfect for…and who should look elsewhere
• Our final verdict: Would we sail with AmaWaterways again? (Based on our Embarkation Day Experience)

This 7 night River Cruise Embarkation is from Barranquilla, Colombia sailing to the Disembarkation Cruise Port of Cartagena, Columbia. We were invited by AmaWaterways to try one of her New Cruise Ship Experiences - a Colombia River Cruise on the AmaMagdelena Cruise Ship. That being said, like always, you can expect honest opinions—not a sales pitch. If something impressed us, we’ll tell you. If something missed the mark, we’ll tell you that too.
