A DEBUT ON THE
DANUBE
Spacious sailings
on AmaMagna
transform your views
of river cruising.
“Magna,” which is Latin for “great,” is
the very essence of the newest vessel
from AmaWaterways. Joining the fleet
in May 2019, AmaMagna will add a new
dimension to river cruising next spring.
While Europe’s famously narrow locks
and shallow tributaries have traditionally
limited the size of river cruise ships,
AmaWaterways is redefining the rules.
Purpose-built to navigate the Danube,
AmaMagna measures an impressive
72 feet across — about twice the width
of other vessels — to make room
for generous accommodations and
abundant amenities.
Step into a stateroom that merges
the intimacy of a river cruise with the
grandeur of an ocean-going vessel
— accommodations are mostly suites
that measure 355 square feet to 710
square feet. Natural light pours in, while
floor-to-ceiling windows and full outside
balconies showcase Europe’s landmarks
and landscapes. A spacious walk-in
shower tempts you to replenish after a
long day of exploring, and tasteful décor
keeps you inspired night after night as
you sail between historic cities.
