AmaLea Wiki

AmaLea's christening ceremony took place on May 26, 2018, in Vilshofen, Germany. The ship’s godmother is Filomena Andre (an AAA executive). She began her career as a travel agent and joined AAA Southern California in 2010 as a travel product manager. The ceremony was part of a 7-day celebratory cruise attended by Filomena Andre, company President Rudi Schreiner, Executive Vice President Kristin Karst, international media, and travel industry representatives. Captain Jan de Bruijn led the ship during the event, which also featured a welcome speech by Vilshofen’s Mayor Florian Gams, a gala dinner, and a fireworks display.

APT AmaLea is one of the company's newest river cruise ships in the modified Concerto-class, with sisterships AmaKristina (2016), AmaLucia (2021), AmaMora (2019), AmaSiena (2020), AmaSofia (2026), AmaStella (2016), and AmaViola (2016). This modern APT riverboat features the innovative "Twin Balcony" stateroom concept, combining a classic French balcony with a second, covered step-out verandah for all-weather enjoyment. Each ship is powered by two Caterpillar marine diesel engines (model "C32 DITA ACERT" V-12) with a total power output of 1900 kW / 2550 HP.

During her inaugural season, AmaLea operated all six “Tulip Time” themed cruises before beginning her 7-day Danube River program (Vilshofen to Budapest). In November 2018, two of the voyages were wine-themed, hosted by Amelia Ceja (President of Ceja Vineyards, Napa CA) and Frederick Frank (President of Dr. Konstantin Frank Wine Cellars, NY). The inaugural season also included four Christmas Market-themed cruises on the Danube.

The vessel’s construction (hull and superstructure, ENI number 07002067) was carried out at the Vahali Shipyard in Zasavica (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). Founded in 1923, the Dutch shipbuilder Scheepswerf En Machinefabriek Vahali BV operates yards in Serbia (Belgrade and Zasavica) and in the Netherlands (Gendt). The Zasavica yard officially opened in 2013. After completion of hull construction in Serbia, AmaLea was towed to Gendt for final outfitting at Scheepswerf Vahali.
