AmaWaterways executive vice-president and co-owner Kristin Karst christened her namesake vessel, AmaKristina, as it prepared to leave the Vahali Shipyard in Serbia where it was built for the journey to Holland where the interior will be completed.

The vessel, which has cabins with inter-connecting doors to cater for the family market, launches on the Rhine on March 31 2017.
