River Cruise Itineraries

AmaMora sails on Rhine River itineraries between Amsterdam and Basel. Themed cruise itineraries include:

• “ENCHANTING RHINE” – 12-day cruises (with 7 days sailing) from Amsterdam to Basel, including a 2-night hotel stay in Lucerne.
• “CHRISTMAS MARKETS ON THE RHINE” – 12-day holiday cruises (8 days sailing) from Amsterdam to Basel, visiting ports in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, with a 2-night stay in Lucerne. Wine-themed cruises also feature guest lectures from renowned wine experts.

The ship also operates wine-themed cruises.

The APT AmaMora is AmaWaterways' 11th modern Concerto-class riverboat, with sisterships including AmaKristina (2016), AmaLea (2018), AmaLucia (2021), AmaSiena (2020), AmaStella (2016), and AmaViola (2016). This new river cruise ship design introduces the "Twin Balcony" concept, combining a French Balcony with a second, step-out covered veranda for all-weather use. Each of these vessels is powered by two Caterpillar marine diesel engines (model C32 DITA ACERT, V-12) with a total output of 1900 kW / 2550 HP.

In late October 2018, Libbie Rice, Co-President of Ensemble Travel Group (a 1968-founded, member-owned organization with around 850 independent travel agencies), was announced as the ship’s Godmother. AmaMora’s official christening ceremony took place on July 19, 2019, in Lahnstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, having been originally scheduled for July 15.

The 7-night inaugural cruise (from Amsterdam to Basel) began on June 3 and featured 20 complimentary shore tours. The following table outlines the maiden voyage port sequence:

The ship's construction (hull and superstructure, ENI number 07002112) was completed at Vahali Shipyard in Zasavica (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). The 1923-founded Dutch company Scheepswerf En Machinefabriek Vahali BV owns and operates shipyards in Serbia (including Belgrade and Zasavica) and in the Netherlands (Gendt). After construction in Serbia, AmaMora was towed to Holland for final outfitting at Scheepswerf Vahali (Gendt).

All AmaWaterways ships offer complimentary bicycles (stored on the sundeck) for use during shore excursions in each port along their itineraries.
