If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring Vienna, Budapest, and the Wachau Valley with a glass of Grüner Veltliner in hand and all the comforts of a five-star boutique hotel, then meet the AmaMagna river cruise—a floating sanctuary redefining river travel in Europe.
This isn’t your average river cruise. It’s wider, roomier, and wrapped in luxury from stem to stern. But beyond the marble finishes and sweeping balconies lies something rarer still: space. And on Europe’s compact waterways, that’s the ultimate luxury.
Double the Width, Double the Wonder
Launched by AmaWaterways in 2019, AmaMagna is twice the width of a standard European river cruise vessel. While most ships measure about 38 feet wide, AmaMagna stretches a generous 72 feet across. But here’s the twist—it doesn’t double the number of guests. Instead, it holds just 196 passengers across 98 staterooms.
That space goes straight to you—in the form of grand suites, multiple dining venues, wellness zones, and a sun deck that feels more like a private club in the Alps than a riverboat.
Rather than cram in more cabins, AmaWaterways doubled down on creating resort-style amenities on a river scale. It’s a conscious shift away from minimalism and toward indulgent, open-air luxury.
Suite Dreams: Your Room, Reimagined
More than 50% of AmaMagna’s staterooms are suites, ranging from a generous 355 square feet to the Owner’s Suite at a remarkable 710 square feet—making it the largest suite on any European river vessel.
Expect sleek, residential interiors with soothing neutrals, warm lighting, and modern amenities. Balconies invite you to sit out as the sun rises over Bratislava, while your marble bathroom includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and luxe linens that feel like a hug after a day ashore.
Each suite is so thoughtfully designed, you may forget you’re on a river ship—until the next castle glides past your balcony.
Four Restaurants, All Complimentary
Food aboard AmaMagna is not only elevated—it’s expansive. The ship features four distinct restaurants, each with its own culinary style:
Main Restaurant – Sophisticated and seasonal, with menus reflecting the regions you’re sailing through.
Chef’s Table – A glassed-in kitchen and tasting-menu experience that turns dinner into performance art.
Jimmy’s Wine Bar & Restaurant – Casual, convivial, and ideal for family-style dining and local wine pairings.
Al Fresco Restaurant – A forward-facing space with retractable windows and light, wellness-forward dishes.
All restaurants are included in the fare, as are beer, wine, and soft drinks during lunch and dinner. There’s even La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs accreditation, a rare hallmark of culinary excellence in cruising.
Wellness Without Compromise
The AmaMagna river cruise is the first European river ship to fully embrace the wellness lifestyle. Enter the Zen Wellness Studio, a fitness and spa space that includes:
- A full gym with modern cardio and weight equipment
- Outdoor spin bikes overlooking the river
- Group classes including yoga and Pilates
- Spa treatment rooms, salon services, and even a juice bar
And then there’s the sun deck: home to a whirlpool, heated pool, walking track, and the first-ever full-size pickleball court on a river cruise ship. Whether you want to unwind or break a sweat, it’s easy to find your flow.
Imagine floating past terraced vineyards in the Wachau Valley, unwinding with a riverside massage, then sipping Austrian wine under a starlit sky—all from the most spacious ship on the Danube.
Whether you crave the imperial splendor of Vienna, the romance of Budapest, or the fairytale charm of Bratislava, the AmaMagna river cruise combines indulgence with exploration like no other.
