Captivating Rhine - Smithsonian Journeys

Launched in 2021, AmaLucia represents the next generation of AmaWaterways' river ships—beautifully combining modern elegance, advanced sustainability, and the warmth of European hospitality. Designed to carry just 156 guests, this twin-balcony vessel offers the perfect blend of spacious comfort and personalized service for river cruising throughout the Rhine, Main, and Danube.

With a sleek, light-filled design and a refined interior aesthetic, AmaLucia features multiple dining venues—including the intimate Chef’s Table—and a range of wellness amenities including a heated pool with swim-up bar, fitness center, massage room, and walking track. The ship’s welcoming atmosphere, curated excursions, and locally inspired cuisine invite guests to explore Europe’s heartland while returning each evening to a floating boutique hotel.

Thoughtfully appointed staterooms, most with both a French and full step-out balcony, ensure panoramic river views and fresh air at every turn. From castle-dotted hills to storybook villages, AmaLucia offers an effortless, luxurious, and enriching way to experience Europe by river.
