SIX FACTORS THAT MAKE AMASONATA SUCH A FINELY TUNED RIVER SHIP

Posted on 06/15/2016

I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that while every new river ship in Europe has to be the same length and height to navigate through the systems of locks, cruise companies manage to come up with such creatively different ways to use the same amount of interior space.

And my first revelation of what sets AmaWaterways apart from its rivals came at breakfast the first morning of a Lower Danube cruise, when I found a beautiful space on the new AmaSonata that I could literally call my own while I surfed the web and enjoyed fresh-baked pastries along with coffee and fresh-squeezed juice.
It’s an observation lounge at the rear of the ship with wraparound windows that provide a stunning panorama of the river at sunrise. On other ships there would be cabins or some kind of pool deck here, but AmaWaterways takes a different approach.
