What's New for AmaWaterways?

In 2019, AmaWaterways plans on releasing three state-of-the-art ships: AmaMagna, AmaMora and AmaDouro. AmaMagna will be the biggest ship of AmaWaterway’s fleet, with its width twice the size of a traditional river cruise ship, while still maintaining its intimate environment. AmaMora will be a sister ship to AmaLea and AmaKristina with a 156-guest capacity. AmaDouro will be the second ship to cruise the Douro River and will have a 102-guest capacity.

AmaWaterways plans to add AmaLea, a one-of-a-kind ship, in 2018. AmaLea will feature connecting staterooms and six new itineraries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The newest ship to join the AmaWaterways fleet, AmaMagna, will debut in May 2019. Offering voyages on the Danube, AmaMagna will be almost twice the width of traditional European river cruise ships.

Set to debut for AmaWaterways during 2016 is AmaStella and AmaViola, both being 158-passenger vessels boasting spacious staterooms with AmaWaterways' exclusive Twin Balconies. Both ships will sail in European rivers.

Two ships joined the AmaWaterways fleet during 2015: AmaDara is cruising the waters of Vietnam and Cambodia; AmaSerena features Twin Balconies and sails in Europe.

AmaSonata and AmaReina celebrated their inaugural year in 2014. They follow the 2013 debut of sister ship AmaPrima, a 164-passenger ship with accommodations ranging in size up to 300 square feet. AmaVida, a 106-guest ship that sails the Douro River, also debuted during 2013, with staterooms as large as 323 sq. ft.
