AmaWaterways Welcomes AmaMora Into Fleet
byDaniel McCarthy/
A week after AmaWaterways christened its largest ship ever with AmaMagna, the river cruise line welcomed another ship, its 23rd overall since its 2002 founding, when AmaMora was christened during a ceremony in the Rhine Gorge on Thursday.
The ship was christened by its godmother, Ensemble Travel Group President Libbie Rice, at Lahnstein, six miles south of Koblenz, in a scenic ceremony on the Rhine. AmaMora is the second of the line’s ships to be christened at Lahnstein, following AmaKristina in 2017.

“It is my pleasure to experience this very unique moment,” the Mayor of Lahnstein, Peter Labonte, said.
对于赖斯来说,荣誉是“第一次成为任何人或任何人的教母”,她告诉出席者。“我很荣幸能成为Amawaterways家族的一员。”
Rice carries on the AmaWaterways tradition of honoring travel industry women “who are role models for women and the younger ones” with godmother titles, AmaWaterways’ Kristin Karst said. The tradition started with Shelia Murphy, the wife of one of AmaWaterways’ original founders Jimmy Murphy.
Rice follows Samantha Brown, who helped christen AmaMagna last week, along with Karst, the late Michelle Morgan, Christine Duffy, Valerie Wilson, Michelle Fee, Jackie Friedman, and还有很多.

在2011年被任命为合奏总裁之前,赖斯在旅行中的十年半多,包括美国航空公司,军刀,三角洲航空公司和喜达屋酒店和度假村。
“Libbie has always found time to take on the equally challenging and important role as a wife and mother,” Karst said.
AmaMora comes into the fleet, sailing guests in 78 staterooms with the line’s signature twin balconies. It offers two restaurants—the Main Restaurant and the Chef’s Table Restaurant that offers a seven-course tasting menu to all guests who make a reservation—and sails with a focus on wellness, both onshore and onboard, with a variety of wellness classes along with a fleet of of 25 bikes onboard.
根据Karst的说法,Amamora带来了“舒适的客舱,优质的美食和美酒,有趣而活跃的游览,更重要的是,船员。”
该船将继续巡游莱茵河,并在巴塞尔和阿姆斯特丹之间提供其“迷人的莱茵河”行程。从11月底开始,它将转向“莱茵河上的圣诞节市场”行程。

AmaWaterways expects its fleet to grow to 27, with another four ships coming down the line —one under construction, one close, and two orders. Speaking to press, Karst and Schriener left open the possibility of building another double-wide vessel, similar to what the line did withAmaMagna,由于接待处,该船自首次亮相以来就已经收到了。
