07 MAY 2018: AmaWaterways calls its innovative new ship, the AmaMagna, “a new destination on the Danube River.” Almost twice as wide as other European river cruise ships, it will have more of everything: larger suites, more dining options, more amenities and so much space that guests might think they are on an ocean vessel.
That’s the intriguing picture Kristin Karst, AmaWaterways co-owner and executive vice-president is painting of the game-changing ship that will make its maiden voyage in May, 2019.
In an interview with The Cruisington Times’ Wallace Immen, she describes the vision and the meticulous amount of detail being put into the ship that the line is hoping will attract guests who may have hesitated to take a river cruise in the past.
