The underlying motto of AmaWaterways is making clients feel like travelers and not tourists. Co-host of the On Travel radio show, Elizabeth Harryman, which has hosted Ama spokespersons many times, often uses this phrase when dispensing tips and wisdom about going on vacation around the corner or on the other side of the world. This distinction offers is very important during a time when consumers are looking for the best value for their vacation dollar, and a European or Southeast Asia river cruise with AmaWaterways provides a luxurious atmosphere combined with fine cuisine, efficient staff, a host of included amenities and a friendly atmosphere for the 150 passengers on board.
Most important for AmaWaterways Chairman Jimmy Murphy, who has been in the travel industry for over 50 years, is that his company creates lifetime memories for people, no matter experienced they may be as travelers, Murphy's decision to launch AmaWaterways in 2002, with Rudi Schreiner and Kirstin Karst, was based on a variety of calculations and his a basic desire to make travelers out of tourists. AmaWaterways has seen a staggering surge of repeat and word of mouth business over the last six years, and this can be attributed to their commitment to offering terrific value with solid customer service and a ever widening product line.
