AmaStella

The Ama Stella is part of AmaWaterways’ fleet of luxury river cruise ships, offering a premium experience on some of Europe’s most picturesque rivers. Whether it’s the scenic Rhine, the romantic Danube, or other stunning European waterways, the Ama Stella provides an elegant and intimate journey through the heart of the continent.

Launched in 2016, Ama Stella was designed with the discerning traveler in mind. Its sleek, modern design combined with luxurious comforts sets it apart in the river cruise market. With a capacity of just 156 passengers, the ship offers an intimate atmosphere while maintaining spacious accommodations and a wide range of amenities. There are 78 staterooms, many of which feature twin balconies, combining both a French and a full balcony to maximize the view as you sail past charming riverside villages and iconic European landmarks.

Staterooms range from the cozy 160-square-foot rooms to the larger, more opulent suites. Each room is furnished with comfortable beds, spacious closets, and flat-screen TVs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also provided throughout the ship, ensuring that passengers stay connected as they explore.

Dining aboard Ama Stella is a highlight of the journey. The ship's restaurant offers a variety of local and international dishes, prepared by world-class chefs. The emphasis is on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, giving passengers a taste of the region they are exploring.

AmaWaterways is a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an exclusive international culinary society, which ensures high standards for food quality and presentation. Whether you choose to dine in the main restaurant or at the specialty Chef’s Table Restaurant, the culinary experience on Ama Stella is designed to delight even the most sophisticated palates.

Another perk for passengers is the inclusion of complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner. This not only enhances the dining experience but also allows for a more immersive cultural experience, as the wines and beers served often come from the very regions the ship is cruising through.

The Ama Stella is equipped with a range of facilities designed to promote relaxation and well-being. The top deck features a heated swimming pool, complete with a swim-up bar, allowing guests to unwind while enjoying panoramic views of the river and surrounding landscapes.

For those who prefer more structured wellness activities, Ama Stella offers a state-of-the-art fitness center and a wellness program that includes daily classes like yoga and pilates. The ship also provides bicycles for guests to use during shore excursions, giving travelers the opportunity to explore local towns and cities at their own pace.

‍

A significant part of the Ama Stella experience is the curated selection of shore excursions. Each day, passengers are given the opportunity to explore different ports of call, with excursions ranging from guided city tours to wine tastings in historic vineyards.

What sets Ama Stella apart is its "Active Discovery" approach to shore excursions. Whether you prefer an energetic hike through vineyards or a leisurely bike ride along the Danube River, there are options for all fitness levels and interests. Local guides ensure that every excursion is informative, offering insights into the history, culture, and traditions of the region.

Additionally, Ama Stella's river cruises are themed around the regions they sail through. For example, a journey along the Rhine might include stops at medieval castles and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, while a Danube cruise could take you to the heart of Eastern European history, exploring grand cities like Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava.
