About AmaVida
AmaVida belongs to AmaWaterways's Douro series and entered service in 2013. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 80 metres in length and accommodates up to 106 guests in 53 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.
AmaWaterways operates a young, design-forward fleet across Europe, the Mekong, the Nile and the Chobe. The line is known for twin-balcony staterooms (a French balcony plus a step-out balcony in the same cabin), the chef-driven Chef's Table specialty restaurant and a complimentary bicycle program for guided cycling excursions. AmaVida reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.
The ship's typical home waters are the Douro, where she runs 2 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
