AmaWaterways has announced the debut of its second newest ship for 2016, the AmaViola.

The 170-passenger vessel, sister ship to the recently launched AmaStella, is designed to cater to the group and multi-generational markets specifically with connecting cabins and innovative stateroom configurations, including:

• Six sets of adjoining cabins that can be connected via an internal doorway, accommodating families of up to five (one of these staterooms has a convertible sofa-bed for one)
• Four suites with convertible sofa-beds that can accommodate families of up to four

“The debut of our brand new AmaViola builds on the momentum and tremendous feedback we have already seen since launching our AmaStella in March,” said Kristin Karst, Executive Vice President and Co-owner of AmaWaterways.

“Part of what makes AmaWaterways so unique to the industry is our careful pace in developing fresh design concepts on the rivers. It is this mindset that truly allows our team to deliver innovative features for our guests, and they will see this firsthand with the AmaViola.”

In addition to new group-friendly stateroom configurations, the vessel also features the company’s latest ship design. Guests have access to a greater number of AmaWaterways’ signature twin-balcony (French and outside balconies) staterooms, which provides breathtaking panoramic views, as well as expanded fitness rooms and salon and massage areas on the lower deck.
Its maiden voyage set sail from Amsterdam on AmaWaterways Tulip Time Cruise. The ship will embark upon several itineraries, including The Enchanting Rhine, The Romantic Danube, Melodies of the Danube and Christmas Markets on the Danube. A seven night river cruise on AmaViola starts from just £1,599pp for a flight inclusive package.
