River cruise line AmaWaterways has named President of Vacation Planners, Jenn Lee as the godmother of their upcoming ship, AmaSintra, which will debut in 2025 to sail along Portugal’s Douro River. 

A special christening will be held April 17, 2025. Ahead of that event, Jenn Lee will join AmaWaterways’ December 4 “Sip & Sail into 2025 with AmaWaterways,” virtual event along with the company’s executives and Emmy-winning TV host and travel expert, Samantha Brown.

Advisors are encouraged to register for the end-of-year webinar through their AmaWaterways’ travel agent portal. 

The AmaSintra will launch in April to sail two 7-night itineraries along the Douro River. The Enticing Douro sails roundtrip from Porto, while the Flavors of Portugal & Spain sails from Porto to Vega de Terron (or vice versa). 

“Jenn’s passion for travel and her dedication to enhancing the guest experience through world-class customer service make her an ideal choice as Godmother of our beautiful AmaSintra,” said Kristin Karst, co-founder and executive vice president of AmaWaterways.

“Her warmth, expertise, and unwavering commitment to supporting the industry align perfectly with AmaWaterways’ values," Karst continued. "We are delighted to honor her with this special role and look forward to welcoming both new and loyal guests aboard AmaSintra to create memories that will last a lifetime.”
