Our Mission

AmaWaterways River Borne Foundation embraces travel as a force for good by empowering communities we serve, places we live, and in destinations we sail. Through education, advocacy, and sustainable development, we hope to inspire positive change and build a better world.

Our Vision

For years, AmaWaterways has opened doors between travelers and the vibrant communities nestled along the world's most storied rivers, forging a living network of bonds that cross continents, span cultures, and pass between generations. The River Borne Foundation is the natural extension of that commitment: established to ensure that the rewards of travel reach beyond the riverbanks and take lasting root within the communities that make each journey unforgettable.

This is just the beginning, more information to come.

As AmaWaterways celebrates 24 years of innovation and growth, we believe success should be measured by more than ships launched or guests welcomed, it should also be reflected in the positive impact created along the rivers it sails.
