AmaWaterways has christened its newest luxury river cruise ship, AmaSintra, which has officially embarked on its inaugural voyage along the Douro River in Portugal. The launch of this new ship further strengthens AmaWaterways’ presence in Europe.
AmaSintra carries just 102 guests in 51 staterooms, most with an outside balcony and large floor-to-ceiling window, allowing guests to take in the views of the river from both their staterooms and private balconies. Onboard, guests can enjoy spacious public areas, including a Sun Deck pool, a fitness room and a main restaurant offering regionally inspired cuisine along with international favorites.
In a special ceremony held in Porto on April 17, AmaSintra was officially christened by Jenn Lee, president of Vacation Planners, who serves as the ship’s godmother. AmaWaterways’ co-founder and CEO Rudi Schreiner, and co-founder and chief brand ambassador Kristin Karst, were also present.
AmaSintra will operate an immersive itinerary along the Douro River, the "Enticing Douro." This seven-night journey explores some of the most scenic and culturally rich regions of Portugal and Spain, offering unique opportunities for guests to visit vineyards, enjoy regional wine tastings and experience the cities of Porto, Régua and Salamanca, with an optional three-night pre-cruise land program in Lisbon.
Joining sister ship AmaDouro and other Douro ship AmaVida, which sails the "Flavors of Portugal & Spain" itinerary between Porto and Vega Terrón, AmaSintra expands AmaWaterways’ presence on the Douro and offers new opportunities to discover its rich cultural heritage.
