Ama Gonna Win 🙂 We really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for creating quality, fun, creative, and accurate videos from your remarkable experiences on cruises and their accompanying adventures. Oh and excellent music choices too!
This video is amazing, i am an ex rivercaptain and worked for Uniworld and Viking. Imagine this business has evolved from rebuild old barges with 1 shower for all guest (10 guest) Ama copied some of both of them but there schip is unique and a challenge to navigate especially with low water. I couldent be bothered anymore but 20 years ago i would see a great challenge to be captain of a schip like that. Only thing this tennis playfield behind the wheelhouse😄, would drive me insane
Thank you for this wonderful informative tour. I have not taken a river cruise, but the more I watch your videos the more likely it may be something to do in the future. This river boat looks fantastic🚢🙂
A small ship with SKYLIGHTS. And so many of them. It reminds me so much of the Victorian into Edwardian Era liners. So many traditional elements combined with modern ones. My dream home is a Queen Anne Victorian or Crafsman. But I wouldn't complain if I lived in a house that resembled the likes of this ship. It truly looks like a dream voyage.
Given its size, do you know if its draft is deeper than 'normal' sized river ships? The low water/high water issues of the Danube often leave spots in the river where river ships get stranded, meaning your river cruise can turn into a bus cruise. Some river cruise lines have worked around the issue by having multiple ships on either side of the river blockage and transfer passengers from one ship to another, but given that at present there's only one of these ships, that might not be an option. Any idea on AMA plans to deal with high/low water issues? Wonderful report, as usual! Looks like a marvelous ship!
From what we remember from conversations with the Captain she has a low draft so suffers less from water level disruption (though this is sometimes an unavoidable ill of river cruising as we’re sure you’re aware) than some of the other river cruise ships. She really is unique and was our favourite river cruise ship to date 👍
I must say, your videos are getting better and better👏This one is so well put together and really whets my appetite to go on a river cruise again! The boat you were in was so beautiful and the itinerary, a bucket list one, for sure🥰. Will be looking forward to your next video🤞
Hi Helen and Rich. She is a pretty River Ship. And well appointed too. It seems like Ama has covered a lot of ground in amenities, service, and style, like you said "You don't see on any other cruise, river or ocean." A very enjoyable presentation. And an app that seems to work very well, however simplistic it might be. As long as it does what it needs to do in the first place. I think the less buttons you have to push or swipes you have to make, the better, right??
As always, a highly informative and extremely well crafted video. This ship looks stunning. I also really appreciate how you provide shots of the food - that looks spectacular ! - coupled with a brief menu heading, but you do not indulge in footage of you eating it and commentating at the same time (which seems popular amongst many of your vlogger compatriots, but for me seems a step too far). Apropos the dialogue regarding “paid promotion”, you have always been clear and transparent in your supporting information accompanying all your videos regarding hosted trips (as is also made clear on your website information about each trip as well).
Thanks Nik. That means so much to us. Firstly, we don't like eating in front of camera. In our opinion, who really wants to see that hehe? The food should speak for itself. Secondly, thank you for your support regarding our disclosures. We disclose as fully as we can on every single video to ensure there's no opaqueness in the viewers understanding. If ever we get paid to do this in the future (which would be nice - it still costs us a bloomin fortune - multiple flights, hotels, car parks etc every month) we will of course disclose that. I do hope people can see we have always been open, honest and truthful in everything we do. :)
We are serious about looking at this boat for another river cruise. Like the multi restaurants, laundry, and extra space. Getting ready to do our 3rd Viking river cruise in two weeks.
What a beautiful boat. So elegant. We've never taken a river cruise, but the more we see of them, the more it appeals. It looks so much quieter and chilled than a cruise ship. The aft terrace is gorgeous, we'll give the spin bikes a miss though! Excellent review and video. Cheers 🍻
Haha, videoing them was as close as we got 😆 We like river cruising. Its a completely different style but a great way to explore a region and visit some more unusual places, as well as some amazing cities 👍
Lovely ship. Really beautiful cabins. Nice to see a choice of food venues (although imo you could drop Jimmys and put in a second lounge). And also nice to see an always available menu (as I’m both can be a fussy eater and have a nut allergy so often go for the mundane known stuff). Well done - great video.
Wonderful piece!! It’s reignited how much I miss the AWE channel that our cable company dropped a few years ago. My desire to find a new cable company is also reignited!!
@@visitwithus it’s actual name is A Wealth Of Entertainment. My very favorite series on the channel is/was Dream Cruises. But all of their content was/is so interesting to me.
Amazing ship and amazing views and locations. I hope I can try a river cruise one day :) (just starting on the sea for now, can't do all at one time ^^)
Well, I didn't think I'd want to do a river cruise, but this does look enchanting! How would I go about booking from the UK? Any preferred travel agents that will put together a nice package with flights etc? Not sure how any of that works...
Thanks for watching. You’ll get the best deal and service from Panache Cruises in the UK. They’ll sort everything including flights for you. Call them on 0161 513 8202 and please tell them we sent you. 😊
I just stumbled upon this video and loved it. Thank you for sharing. I do have question, while not popular, my husband and friends love a cigar and a cocktail every so often, is there a dedicated area for that? Thank you
I have been on a number of river cruises, including with AMA. Some of the locks we went through were very narrow even for a regular river cruise ship. How does AMA Magna approach this? I'm guessing it restricts its choice of rivers to cruise.
In Europe we use ISO standards, i.e. centimeters, meters or square meters. It calculates more easily than imperial units like inches or sqft. Oh yes, one more thing, money can't buy you a class.
It's certainly not the biggest riverboat in Europe. In Russia, much larger vessels have been sailing on the Volga River for many decades. Here, for example, is one of the newest vessels, the Mustai Karim: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B9_%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC_(%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4)
This is basically an ADVERT & PROMOTION for AmaWaterways and Panache Cruises as you clearly state your official Brand Ambassadors. Even though they didn't pay you money, you got a free cruise which is the same. You should clearly state paid promotion. Even though you claim to be unbiased and these are you opinions of the cruise..... it's REALLY difficult to be honest, subjective & critical when your getting a free cruise If your getting a free cruise = Paid promotion should be stated
@@betterthannew3603 I have studied the TH-cam regulations carefully and we are breaking no laws. We are interpreting them correctly. Really if you don’t like how we’re disclosing things then take a look around. There are many any more that you watch who are disclosing a LOT less. This is a fact.
@@visitwithus As most viewers don't read what is in the description of a video, you are not disclosing anything to them. That's why the 'paid promotion' tag is shown on screen to alert people that what they are about to see in the video has have had some type of funding by a company - either money or value - as per TH-cam definition of a paid promotion. Highlighting that others are doing the same is like telling the policeman that's stopped you for speeding that you're seen others speeding!

In Europe we use ISO standards, i.e. centimeters, meters or square meters. It calculates more easily than imperial units like inches or sqft. Oh yes, one more thing, money can't buy you a class.
Money can’t buy you a class of what?
Lost me at children on board/ playing video games
Don’t be put off, there weren’t many children on board and the ‘one’ on our voyage was very polite and very well behaved 😁
That’s why we are doing our third Viking river trip. No one under 18.
Didn’t get to that part yet, but id have to agree!
What to say at c& p back exam
Say what?
It's certainly not the biggest riverboat in Europe. In Russia, much larger vessels have been sailing on the Volga River for many decades.

I wasn’t including the Volga in that statement. 🙂
More big ships, more overcrowding.
More big ships, more space per guest (in this instance). 🙂
