A deal has been struck for the construction of the already announced sister ship for AmaWaterways’s AmaMagna, with the new vessel to be built in Croatia by Vahali Shipyards.The new ship will be a “state-of-the-art masterpiece” and will be twice as wide as the industry standard, according to the Croatian Register of Shipping Inland Navigation Division.“While standard inland waterway cruisers typically measure 135 meters in length and 11.45 meters in width, this groundbreaking ship will feature an impressive length of 135 meters and an extraordinary width of 22 meters,” it said.“This project marks a significant milestone for us – our first of this kind – and we couldn’t be prouder.”Subscribe to LATTE Cruise’s free eNewsletter to keep up to date with everything in the luxury cruise space.AmaWaterways confirmed the new addition to its fleet last year, revealing that the second double-width ship was expected to enter service in 2027.AmaMagna, which set sail in 2019, is also twice the width of traditional river cruise ships, yet welcomes only 20% more guests, allowing generous personal space with more than half of the 98 staterooms designated as suites.All staterooms and suites are decorated with stylish décor and natural wood accents.
