Step aboard a world of unparalleled experiences and be warmly welcomed aboard our stunning newly designed AmaMagdalena, an intimate 60-passenger river cruise ship offering the luxury of space and sweeping views as you cruise Colombia’s Magdalena River. This beautiful ship features a rejuvenating heated pool on the Sun Deck, a spacious fitness room, a Main Restaurant serving exquisite, regionally inspired Latin American cuisine and Western favourites, as well as an intimate al fresco specialty dining experience. Plus, you will rest your eyes each night in your amenity-filled twin-balcony stateroom, comprised of both a French balcony and an outside balcony, from which you will wake up to a new view each day in one of Colombia’s fascinating destinations.
This is a wonderful cruise to a part of the world that has not seen cruises in decades and which Ama Waterways has done a masterful job in acquainting a new group of visitors to a pristine area unspoiled by vast numbers of tourists and which will hopefully remain that way. The ship and it's all locally recruited staff could not have been more guest oriented and eager to make all of our fellow cruisers Ama devotees. They were eager to make their country's current, as opposed to past reputation more widely known. The towns picked for excursions, of which there were many, were a new and pleasurable experience I believe for all the guests on board. I would enthusiastically recommend this trip for anyone who is looking for something wonderful and new. The food was carefully selected to show off local products and preparations and the complimentary beverages with meals, cocktail hour and special performances are also a welcome treat
This cruise was exceptionally wonderful. My initial interest was the smaller ship and in the western world. We experienced friendship with everyone on board. All of the excursions were great and well planned. I was amazed at the amount of work Ama waterways had put into getting this program together in Columbia. Building their own docs, having special tour boats build just for the guest. The work they put in with the Columbian government to make this cruise available. I would hope other cruise lines that try to ride on the coat tails of Ama's work are held to the highest of standards. Too much tourism travel in Columbia's fragile historical areas could ruin it for everyone, especially the local small villages. We met fellow passengers from all over and shared travel and cruise experiences. Meeting the local villages and indigenous tribes were fantastic. If you have traveled with Ama before it is a must, that you add this trip to your memories.
I loved this itinerary, completely unique, interesting and adventurous. From the stilt house tour to the dancers and the filigree experience every day was a new experience. There were a lot of hands on demonstrations for the excursions . There was also an extraordinary birdwatching tour. I enjoyed all of the tours I was able to go on. The staff on the ship are local to the area and their pride in the land and the culture is infectious. The locals we met along the way were joyful and gracious. I have never enjoyed so many delicious fruit drinks! The staff gave their all at every turn. My husband is gluten free and they had a bread for him at every meal. We had a medical episode near the end of the cruise which would have been difficult were it not for the expert service of the crew. I am in awe of all that was done to help us. We were never alone through the entire ordeal. I could name names but in the end literally every staff member would be on the list. A scary event was made bearable, we felt well cared for. The ship’s crew deserve accolades for sure! Beyond that, folks at the two hospitals, the ambulance crew, literally everyone was kind and sympathetic. Under the circumstances I could not have asked for more.
New ship- Amamagdelana sailing on the Magdalena River in Colombia. Like all new startups it has some growing pains. But all the staff is trying hard to make the cruise a success. Wanted to post some pictures as it seems like no one has submitted any yet. So far the trip is great. Everything still has a brand new feel to it. Most of the staff is still getting used to being in the service industry. There always seems to be some confusion at the start of the day, but eventually it works out fine and by lunch everything is running smooth. Food is very nice, but more like river cruise cuisine. Still early in the trip and hoping for some more regional dishes. Most of the excursions are starting out early to finish before lunch to beat the Colombian heat in the afternoon. It seems like a very successful launch of a new river to cruise. Very happy with the trip so far.
Witness the wonders of the Magdalena River from the comfort of your luxurious stateroom. Filled with amenities and featuring AmaWaterways' signature twin balconies, your spacious stateroom will provide you unparalleled comfort and a stunning view to wake up to every morning.
Savour AmaWaterways' exquisite cuisine at the AmaMagdalena's luxurious Main Restaurant and picturesque al fresco dining experience. Try regionally inspired Latin American cuisine and enjoy classic Western favourites, all with a riverside view.
We realise that our guests have different tastes, so we’ve developed a diverse menu of included shore excursions to accommodate all travellers with a personalised experience in every port of call. In many destinations, you’ll be free to choose from one of several tours — all of which are included in your cruise fare. There’s always a city tour designed to show you the renowned highlights and landmarks in grand capitals and charming villages alike. Is it your first time in Vienna, Austria? Opt for an unforgettable exploration of the major sights led by a local, English-speaking guide that is well-versed in history and culture. Have you already been to Nuremberg, Germany? Instead of taking the city tour, indulge in a bratwurst and beer tasting on one of our immersive culinary-themed special interest tours, which are specially designed to place you in the midst of local life. We also offer different activity levels for gentle, regular and active walkers, as well as guided hiking and biking tours. The choice is yours.
Explore Europe’s amazing sights like the locals do. We were the first river cruise line to carry an entire fleet of complimentary bicycles on board, so you can experience biking alongside enchanting riverside pathways and in city centres. Whether you feel like joining one of our exclusive guided bike tours, or want to go discover on your own, there are many ways for you to explore on two wheels during your cruise. The beauty of Europe doesn’t just lie in its architecture and landmarks – there are also breathtaking sights to be seen when you venture out into nature. That’s why we’ve designed special guided hikes that will take you a bit off the beaten path, offering a unique perspective in beautiful destinations such as Austria’s UNESCO-designated Wachau Valley. All of our guided hikes and bike tours are included in the cruise fare so you have more choices when it comes to how you prefer to explore.
