Welcoming Crew
While enjoying the luxurious offerings aboard the AmaMagna, guests are sure to appreciate the warm and welcoming crew members, who always go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience.
“When we founded AmaWaterways, it was important to us that our in-house staff and onboard crew felt like part of our family, because their happiness and well-being are reflected in how they treat our guests,” says AmaWaterways’ Co-Founder and Executive Vice President, Kristen Karst.
AmaWaterways also offers professionally trainedWellness Hosts on board the Europe and Mekong River cruises that lead up to five different wellness activities daily.

Exclusive Itinerary
AmaMagna’s truly extraordinary river cruises include unique itineraries, such as Magna on the Danube, a new 7-night itinerary from Budapest, Hungary to Vilshofen, Germany, available from March through December during its 2020/2021 seasons. Personally curated by Co-Founder and President Rudi Schreiner, this distinctive sailing adventure includes daytime scenic cruising through the Danube Bend, a magnificent stretch with a dramatic turn between rocky hills in Dunakanyar, Hungary. There’s no better way to enjoy the awe-inspiring scenery than from the comfort of one of AmaMagna’s full-balcony suites.
Vienna’s Baroque Splendors
In addition, Magna on the Danube offers both returning AmaWaterways guests and those new to the Danube River an in-depth glimpse into Vienna’s Baroque splendors with an included excursion to the royal Habsburgs’ Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens. Built in the 18th century as an imperial summer residence, this magnificent 1,441-room Baroque palace is one of the most important architectural, cultural and historical monuments in Austria. View the living quarters of the emperors, which still contain their original furnishings, as well as a collection of carriages used by the imperial family and Viennese court. Plus, tour the equally impressive gardens, built around an artesian well from which the palace draws its name (Schönbrunn = “beautiful spring”). This attractive outdoor space encompasses a variety of botanical specimens, sculptures of deities and virtues, a maze, an arboretum and even a small zoo popular with local families.
Special Included Experience in Spitz
While in Austria, enjoy an exclusive evening wine experience in Spitz, an Old-World town discovering new life through the eyes of its guests. Sidled up against the north bank of the Danube River, Spitz is one of the loveliest winemaking villages in Austria’s UNESCO-designated Wachau Valley. In fact, the town was built around a hill so abundant with grapes it is known as the “Thousand Bucket Hill.” While there, be guided to the historic Klosterhof, the former wine press house of St. Gottweig Abbey. Dating back to the 12th century, this atmospheric Wachau Valley estate hosts an intimate wine tasting of the region’s famous Grüner Veltliner and Riesling wines.
