Perhaps it can be attributed to AmaLyra’s rippling Main Lounge carpet, evocative of the river, or her elegant love seats in varying shades of blue. Or maybe it was because of the scenery afforded by the ship’s French balconies, or because of the exquisite cuisine served by the Main Restaurant and in a delightful, multi-course production as part of The Chef’s Table experience. Whatever the reason, savor the comfort of staterooms appointed with Entertainment-On-Demand, unlimited Wi-Fi, movies, music and English-language TV stations. Revel in the indulgences offered by the sauna, whirlpool, and massage and hair salon. And take advantage of AmaLyra’s sun-deck walking track, fitness room and fleet of complimentary bikes—because maybe being on the best river cruise ship means being the best version of you. #### Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Passenger Capacity | 144 | | Crew | 45 | | Gross Tonnage | 3,350.0 | | Length | 360.0 ft | | Total Cabins | 73 | ## Onboard Amenities ### Other - **A Fairytale River Cruise Through Europe**: With 11 wonderful nights to enjoy our onboard amenities, as well as eight bike tours, seven hikes and two rivers included on our Rhine & Moselle Fairy... - **Alexandria, the Pearl of the Mediterranean**: Starting September 2025, AmaWaterways will begin visiting the amazing city of Alexandria in Egypt. - **Celebrating the Black and African Diaspora**: Travel advisor Denice B. and her clients Christina and James S. are among hundreds of AmaWaterways river cruise guests who have had the opportunity to... - **Complimentary Land Package**: Receive a Complimentary Land Package when you reserve select 2026 and 2027 departures through Europe and Colombia.
