AmaVida Wiki
AmaVida boat is the first of the three AMAwaterways boats (together with AmaDouro and AmaSintra) operating luxury river cruises in Portugal.
The vessel is operated by AMAwaterways' "AmaVoyages" division via a partnership with "Douro Azul" (1993-founded Portuguese river cruisetour company). The ship was christened by the movie star Sharon Stone.
The ship is a new (modified) riverboat design adapted for the specifics of River Douro - one of the biggest rivers on the Iberian Peninsula. This waterway starts near Duruelo de la Sierra (Spain) and ends at Oporto (Portugal). Famous for its port-wines production, the whole Douro Valley region is designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Along with its modern look (marine design by CMT Engineering Ltd), MS AmaVida features the convenience of onboard mini-helicopter tours. One of the ship's many "green technology" features are the solar panels (installed on the awning's roof photovoltaic panels, covering total area 155 m2 / 1670 ft2) and combined diesel-electric propulsion.
A unique experience on AMAwaterways river cruisetours in Portugal are the complimentary bike tours. Guests can use the onboard bicycles on all excursions and tours organized in each of the itinerary ports.
