We're taking you aboard AmaWaterways' unique AmaMagna vessel with us to share exactly what makes this double-wide river cruise ship such a game-changer on the Danube River. You'll discover how the extra space translates into multiple restaurants, larger staterooms, and amenities you won't find on traditional river ships – including a pickleball court, full-size gym with spin bikes, and even a pool with a hot tub. We'll walk you through our honest pros and cons, from the spacious dance floor and guest laundry facilities to the limited itinerary options due to the ship's size. Whether you're an ocean cruiser considering your first river cruise or a river cruise veteran curious about this innovative design, you'll understand exactly who this ship works best for and how it compares to traditional single-wide vessels. We recorded this episode right from our stateroom on our final day of the cruise, giving you our unfiltered impressions of why bigger might – or might not – be better for your river cruise style.For more AmaWaterways episodes, check out: Top River Cruise Line Showdown: Viking vs. AmaWaterwaysOur AmaWaterways AmaDara Experience on the Mekong River Be sure to about AmaWaterways (with tons of photos) on our website, including articles about our AmaKristina Colors of Provence cruise, all about the food onboard, and more. Interested in the travel laundry sheets we discussed in this episode?
