In July of 2002, a top-notch river cruise company was born.
AmaWaterways details how 15 years have flown by and what has helped make them so successful.
Rudi Schreiner, Jimmy Murphy and Kristin Karst banded together and formed a terrific team to get the company up and running. It wasn't easy, but the family business they built would continue to grow stronger and stronger as the years went on.
Karst believes her four pillars of "Passion, Partnerships, Positive Thinking and Personal Interaction" have made them what they are today.
With guests continuing to come back and the company building new ships, it's clear those pillars are a proven model of success.

Additionally, AmaWaterways looks to build a family when putting together staff and crew, focusing on their "FLEPS Factor" which stands for "Family, Love, Enthusiasm, Passion and Sparkle."
Karst goes on her blog to thank several key contributors and partners that helped turn AmaWaterways into what we know and love today, as well as sharing pictures from their anniversary celebration earlier this month.
