On May 10, AmaWaterways enjoyed a wonderful celebration as Kristin Karst-Executive Vice President and co-owner of the company-became the proud Godmother of its 20th ship, AmaKristina.

Two days later, there was another reason to celebrate as Rudi Schreiner, considered by most in the industry to be the "Godfather of River Cruising," unveiled plans for AmaWaterways' newest innovation - AmaMagna.

For the past several years, Rudi has been working on a new ship design that will be a total game-changer for European river cruising. It's the same length but twice the width of a standard river cruise ship.

AmaMagna will carry just 194 passengers. The extra space will allow the cruise line to design large, luxurious, ocean-type staterooms averaging over 300 square feet, multiple dining venues, and expansive spa and fitness areas. Along with these wonderful additions, AmaWaterways will introduce the totally new concept of a retractable watersports platform, which adds new meaning to the term "active river cruising."
