AmaWaterways has a new ship sailing on the Douro River in Portugal.
This week, the 102-guest AmaSintra joined AmaDouro and AmaVida on the waterway, offering guests even more opportunities to explore the region with AmaWaterways.
The ship has 51 staterooms, a sun deck pool, a fitness room and a main restaurant offering regional specialties. It will sail the line’s “Enticing Douro” itinerary, a 7-night voyage with stops in Porto, Régua and Salamanca, with an optional 3-night pre-cruise land program in Lisbon.
“Portugal continues to grow in popularity as a river cruising destination, and AmaSintra will offer an unforgettable experience to all who sail aboard,” says Kristin Karst, co-founder and chief brand ambassador of AmaWaterways. “With departures running through late December, travelers looking to discover this remarkable part of the world will easily find a home on board AmaSintra.”
AmaSintra’s godmother is Jenn Lee, president of Vacation Planners. She officially christened the vessel at a ceremony in Porto on April 17.
“Jenn is an inspiring role model for women in the travel industry and an outstanding leader whose influence continues to shape the future of our profession,” says Karst. “Her dedication, expertise and commitment to elevating the travel experience aligns perfectly with AmaWaterways’ core values… We hope AmaSintra sails with the same strength and heart that her godmother brings to everything she does.”
It’s been a busy week for AmaWaterways, which also recently launched its first ship on the Magdalena River in Colombia.
