On our cruise radar this week, AmaWaterways celebrates its new passenger vessel, The Strand Cruise launches sailings to an ancient temple city and more.
AmaWaterways celebrates AmaMora christening
Luxury river cruise line AmaWaterways has celebrated the christening of its new 156-passenger vessel, AmaMora. The garland-trimmed ship arrived in Lahnstein where guests, media and travel partners were joined by local dignitaries and residents for a special ‘Rhine Romanticism’-themed dockside ceremony. Each guest was presented with a hand-made wine leaf and flower pin to wear as the festivities began.
AmaMora will sail the enchanting Rhine river, while recent launches of AmaMagna and AmaDouro expand the company’s presence on the Danube and in Portugal, respectively.
“A record-breaking year”
“This has truly been a record-breaking year for us, and we are very proud to welcome AmaMora to our wonderful fleet of ships that are built to meet the needs of today’s travellers who crave a luxurious and personalised holiday experience,” said co-founder Rudi Schreiner.
“With multiple dining venues, a well-equipped gym with a Wellness Host and heated swimming pool with swim-up bar, AmaMora’s design reflects her most recent sister ships, AmaLea and AmaKristina, but her fresh, rich colour scheme is uniquely her own.”
The ancient temple city of Bagan
With the news announced that UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee has named the ancient temple city of Bagan in Myanmar as one of 29 new cultural and natural sites inscribed into its World Heritage List, there has never been a better time to visit the ancient temple city.
The Strand Cruise offers an intimate 25-cabin luxury river cruise ship that sails the Ayeyarwady River on three- and four-night itineraries that begin in or end in Bagan. Itineraries are fully a la carte, with passengers allocated a guide and driver so that they can follow a recommended shore excursion itinerary including the highlights of each port, or follow their own path to discover sites they may have read about.
