No this year is not all about AmaMagna, the largest river ship on the Rhine. Turns out AmaWaterways is just in the middle of a season of inaugural sailings. On Monday, June 3, the luxury river cruise line celebrated the debut of AmaMora on the Rhine River.

Embarking on her maiden voyage from Amsterdam to Basel, the 156-guest ship is the third of a trio of new ships being introduced by AmaWaterways in 2019, a record-breaking achievement since the company began in 2002. AmaWaterways fleet now numbers 23 modern ships following the launch this spring of AmaDouro on the Douro River and AmaMagna on the Danube River.

“We are always excited to introduce new ships to our innovative fleet, but this season has been especially rewarding and significant for us,” said Rudi Schreiner, president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. “We’re thrilled to introduce AmaMora to the Rhine River and look forward to continue exceeding our guests’ expectations with a luxurious onboard experience, enriching shore excursions, exquisite dining venues and of course, the AmaWaterways touch that turns an interesting voyage into an unforgettable personalized experience.”

Like her sister ships AmaLea and AmaKristina, AmaMora offers 78 staterooms, almost all of which feature AmaWaterways’ signature twin balconies. On board, guests can experience top cuisine, including exquisite regionally-inspired dishes paired with hand-selected wines at the Main Restaurant and the intimate Chef’s Table Restaurant, as well as an all-day tapas menu, afternoon tea, complimentary daily Sip & Sail cocktail hour and a 24-hour coffee station.

AmaMora features a wide range of amenities, including connecting staterooms well-suited to meet growing demand from multigenerational families. Guests looking to stay active even while on vacation can take advantage of the ship’s Wellness Program, featuring group fitness classes led by a dedicated Wellness Host and a well-equipped fitness center and Sun Deck walking track.

As the newest member of the river cruise line suited for active travelers, AmaMora carries a fleet of complimentary bicycles and organizes guided hiking and biking tours for guests to explore each incredible destination while cruising through the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland. For the more relaxed traveler, there is plenty of room to lounge by the heated Sun Deck pool, which features a swim-up bar, as well as enjoy massage and hair salon services. In addition, the ship features complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and in-room Entertainment-on-Demand.
