Zambezi Queen has 14 staterooms and suites across two decks. All feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies, providing unobstructed views of the river and wildlife. Accommodations include climate control, en-suite bathrooms, and thoughtful touches that evoke a boutique lodge on the water.

The ship has one Main Restaurant where guests enjoy a mix of international favorites and locally inspired dishes, often featuring regional ingredients and South African wines. Meals are served with panoramic river views, and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs are happily accommodated.

Africa provides for some of the most prolific wildlife viewing available and the chance to glimpse the idyllic landscape that has inspired many a work of art. You can combine a river cruise and safari into one adventure – with five itineraries to choose from – and discover the part of the world that is known for iconic sites like Cape Town’s Table Mountain and the home of revolutionary leader Nelson Mandela.

Get a glimpse of what awaits you aboard your AmaWaterways cruise ship, where every moment on board is designed to make your journey feel effortless and memorable.

While there is no dedicated gym, the ship emphasizes relaxation and connection with nature. Guests can enjoy the plunge pool on the Sun Deck, shaded lounge areas for wildlife viewing, and spa treatments on request. Active exploration is built into the itinerary with boat safaris, fishing, and cultural excursions ashore.

Please Note: the ship does not feature any childrens facilities.
