The AmaMagna is ALL THAT and more!
"One super nice feature on the Magna was the laundry room (detergent included) where I was able to press my dresses after unpacking and wash our clothes before our return home.The extra space was super nice however the feel was still intimate like their other ships...."Read More

This is our 5th cruise with AmaWaterways. This time, on the “doublewide” AmaMagna. This February 18 2024 sailing was one of the first Feb sailings offered by Ama. The ship is amazing, same capacity (198) as a narrower River Cruise ship, but twice as wide. Huge staterooms, 4 eating venues, a library, cinema and wellness studio. The crew, even though only their 2nd cruise together, was totally ...

The cruise itself was phenomenal but the staff made it truly special. The crew members were extremely warm and kind. The attention to detail was spot on. There were 3 restaurants on the Amamagna. The food was delicious. There were plenty of options and it was good quality. The app made it easy to keep track of our schedule and we also had a daily itinerary with the times delivered ...

We stayed at Marriott prior to trip. No one reached out to let us know we were not going on boat due to water level. We happened to reach out concerning transferring luggage. It was that moment that we learned that we wouldn’t board ship. There was a meeting to discuss issue. We were not initially invited. We rushed over and caught end of the meeting. We were lost. First day was a Budapest ...

Exceptionally friendly and helpful crew. Shout out to cruise manager Frederico, cabin steward Joysa, and server Robi who all provided exceptional service. Crew members worked extremely hard yet were always smiling. We enjoyed meeting Captain Neils who is a charming and very impressive young man. The SA stateroom was by far the best on a European river. 350 sq. feet with generous storage space ...

Great Experience Overall - But Not Perfect

Overall we had a great experience on the Danube, but we had a couple of minor complaints that prevent me from calling it a five-star cruise. Staff - the staff were truly 6/5 stars, and would do everything in their capacity to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. The fitness instructor Angie was amazing as well. However, there was always at least one (sometimes up to 6-7) staff smoking in ...

If you are thinking about a river cruise, no need to look further than AMA Waterways and the Magna. The ship is beautiful, service and food are terrific and the Budapest to Vilshofen itinerary is beautiful and intersting. We had an A/B Suite. If traveling as a couple, this is a really good choice as the bath features dual sinks and a seperate toilet. For a river ship, Magna offers a lot of ...

The AmaMagna is a beautiful vessel and deserves the designation as flagship. The place has a special feeling and is warm and inviting. The excursions were plentiful but somewhat routine - more specialty outings would be welcome. The 4 restaurants were a great feature, seating and availability never an issue, Sadly, the cuisine overall was uninspired while imaginatively presented. It just lacked ...

The MAGNA was exceptional! The superb service, the attentive and friendly crew, high-quality accommodations, top-notch organized excursions, and the interesting itinerary were all magnificent! Our cruise from Budapest to Prague included pre and post add-ons and was incredible. Because the ship was relatively new it was in remarkable condition. We have absolutely no complaints about the ship, the ...

I'm thankful that AmaMagna was my first. However, my expectations are extremely high for any future river cruising. I can't imagine sailing with any other cruise line. Ama certainly knows how to make you feel like family. What a wonderful crew!!! Our Cruise Mgr. Kriss was gracious, welcoming and always available to help. Our Hotel Mgr. Robert was a true professional and always easy to talk to. The ...

This being our 6th AMA cruise we decided to try out the new larger ship and it didn't disappoint! The extra space was super nice however the feel was still intimate like their other ships. We loved having four restaurants to chose from, each one with a different menu and ambiance. We played Scrabble in the game room with a nice fireplace something not available on the smaller ships. The crew were ...
