“Ama” means love – and award-winning AmaWaterways puts love in everything they do while cruising legendary rivers through Europe, Asia and Egypt, along Africa’s Chobe River, and beginning in 2024, Colombia’s Magdalena River. Family-owned and operated and boasting European heritage that lends to the line’s authenticity in this region, AmaWaterways goes above and beyond for their guests from the moment they reserve their river cruise vacation to the moment they disembark – and every moment in between.

Your Floating Hotel on the Danube River

When searching for a ship to be your home-away-from-home as you explore the Danube River, look no further than the impressive AmaMagna, the flagship of the AmaWaterways’ fleet and a river destination itself. Twice the width of traditional river cruise ships, AmaMagna embodies the luxury of space showcased in its stunning balcony suites, which measure from 355 sq. ft. to 710 sq. ft. with separate sitting areas and modern comforts. If you are used to ocean cruising journeys, you will appreciate the variety of onboard amenities and entertainment on this innovative river ship.

Multiple Dining Venues to Choose From

During your river cruise onboard the AmaMagna, savor delicious locally-sourced cuisine at four different dining venues throughout the ship. You will always enjoy impeccable table service and exquisite multi-course meals across the AmaWaterways’ fleet as well as within AmaMagna’s Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant—where the usually hidden kitchen becomes part of the entertainment. You can also savor fresh, masterfully prepared vegetable-forward cuisine within the Al Fresco Restaurant. With retractable windows and a roof, this popular new restaurant treats you to refreshing breezes and views of the ever-changing Danube. Exclusive to AmaMagna, Jimmy’s Restaurant, named for AmaWaterways’ beloved late co-owner Jimmy Murphy, offers a fun, convivial family-style dining atmosphere. All of these dining venues are included in the price of your cruise.

All-New Pickleball Court – The First on the Rivers

On the Sun Deck, enjoy the all-new pickleball court, where you can grab a paddle and dink the ball around with other fellow cruisers. The first full-size sports court of its kind on a river cruise ship, guests can experience AmaWaterways’ innovative spirit while playing this fun, friendly game.

The fastest-growing sport in the United States, pickleball has also become a favorite of guests onboard the AmaMagna. Now, you can try this popular sport for yourself while exploring the Danube River on immersive itineraries such as the Magna on the Danube, specially curated for this unique ship.
