AmaWaterways
AmaMagna
Overview
Heartfelt journeys along the world’s most beautiful rivers.
AmaWaterways offers award-winning river cruises that feel personal, luxurious, and deeply enriching. With beautifully appointed ships, immersive shore excursions, and outstanding cuisine (including wine and beer with meals as standard), every journey is crafted with care — sailing through Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
Life onboard is elegant yet relaxed, with open seating dining, included daily excursions, and a welcoming crew who know your name and your favourite drink. It’s all about quality, connection, and slowing down to truly savour each moment.
For solo travellers, AmaWaterways offers a wonderfully reassuring experience. The smaller ships and inclusive atmosphere make it easy to feel at home, while special solo offers — including reduced or waived single supplements — open up even more possibilities.
Wherever you sail, you’ll travel with heart — and come home changed.
The Ship
AmaMagna is AmaWaterways’ flagship and a true standout in the world of river cruising. Designed exclusively for the Danube, she is almost twice the width of a standard river ship, creating a noticeably more spacious and luxurious onboard experience while still retaining the warmth and intimacy Ama is known for.
This is river cruising elevated — elegant, unhurried, and thoughtfully designed for guests who appreciate comfort, space, and a sense of quiet sophistication.
Itineraries
AmaMagna sails exclusively on the Danube, visiting destinations such as:
Budapest
Vienna
Bratislava
Linz
Passau
These itineraries blend grand cities with charming riverside towns and are ideal for first-time river cruisers as well as seasoned travellers.
