Cancellation Updates:
Recent updates have been made to cancellation schedules and refund guidelines for various cruise lines. Contact your Sales Agent or our Customer Service department online, via email, or by phone at 1-888-766-6420 and ask about potential opportunities for flexible cancellation policies, rebooking opportunities and other options.

In the unfortunate event a participant must cancel travel, notice must be made to AmaWaterways during standard business hours or via email to Res@amawaterways.com, which must include writing stating clearly and correctly each guest's name, ship name, start and end date of the cruise and a brief statement of the reason for cancellation. Other forms of notice are not sufficient. Cancellations received within 24 hours of the vacation start date will be deemed as trip interruption, cannot be canceled, and are 100% non-refundable. The effective date of the cancellation is the date AmaWaterways receives the cancellation notice. A change in sailing date, name changes, the substitution of a participant, or a reduction in the number of guests in a stateroom are treated as a cancellation in that all applicable cancellation charges apply.
