Will AMAWaterways Refund / Re-book Policy Leave Me High and Dry?
This is a concern that I hear every day and I want to take this moment to put your mind at ease. AMA Waterways is committed to delivering an amazing vacation experience for guests who have been waiting patiently (or impatiently!) for the date of their departure. For guests on cancelled sailings, AMA Waterways will automatically issue a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equal to 115% of the value of money received for all purchased services (bought through AMAWaterways). FCC is redeemable on any AMA Waterways river cruise in Europe, Asia, or Africa (including Egypt!) embarking through 21/31/22. For even more flexibility, FCC’s are transferable prior to 12/31/22 with the original owners written authorization.
