AmaMora

AmaMora at a Glance

AmaMora joined the AmaWaterways fleet in 2019 and sails exclusively on the Danube. Built to carry up to 156 guests with a crew of 30, she offers an attentive staff-to-guest ratio that defines river cruising at this level. Her 135-metre length keeps her intimate, and her 78 cabins mean you are never far from fellow guests or a quiet corner of your own. She sails itineraries of up to 14 nights, departing most often from Budapest on the Danube, with sailings also originating from Vilshofen, Nuremberg and Amsterdam.

Dining on AmaMora

AmaMora offers two included dining venues, each with a distinct character.

The Main Restaurant is the culinary heart of the ship: open seating throughout meal times, regional cuisine, and river views framed by the windows alongside you. There are no set sittings and no assigned tables, so conversation flows naturally between guests.

For something more theatrical, The Chef’s Table seats an intimate group around a dedicated chef who prepares a multi-course tasting menu in front of you. The personalised attention and culinary theatre make it a highlight of any sailing — and it is included in your fare, with no supplement to pay.

Between meals, the Specialty Coffee & Tea Station operates on a self-service basis and is complimentary throughout the day, whether you want an early coffee before the first port or an afternoon tea mid-river.

On-Board Spaces and Activities

The Main Lounge is AmaMora’s social centre: a fully stocked bar, evening entertainment and daytime talks about the ports ahead. Drinks and food in the lounge are charged separately unless you hold a beverage package, but entry is open to all guests.

The Sun Deck runs the full width of the upper deck and offers unobstructed views — ideal for watching the Danube’s riverbanks pass by, and occasionally set up for outdoor dining. Alongside it, the Heated Sun-Deck Pool features an integrated swim-up bar, so you can catch the scenery without stepping out of the water.

For those who want to stay active, the Walking Track on the Sun Deck and the Fitness Center — stocked with cardio and strength-training equipment — are both complimentary. Specialist fitness classes carry a separate charge. One of AmaMora’s more distinctive offerings is her Complimentary Bicycle Fleet: guests can borrow a bike at any port and explore ashore independently, without booking a guided tour.

Quieter spaces include the Library, with books and games, and the Massage & Hair Salon, where the space itself is free to use and treatments are charged separately. A Gift Shop carries souvenirs and essentials for the moments you want to take something of the Danube home.

Cabins and Suites on AmaMora

AmaMora’s cabins and deck plans cover three distinct grades, and the right choice depends on how much space and river access you want.

• Outside Cabin D (14.9 m²): A fixed outside window brings natural light and river scenery into the cabin. A practical, well-proportioned choice for two guests who expect to spend their outdoor time on the shared Sun Deck.
• Balcony Cabin AA (21.8 m², sleeps up to 4): A dual-balcony layout — both a drop-down French window and a full outside terrace — gives you two separate ways to take in the river from your own space. Suitable for up to four guests, this grade suits families or travellers who want flexible private outdoor access.
• Suite SS (32.5 m²): The most spacious cabin on AmaMora, with a balcony and significantly more living area than the standard grades. For two guests who want room to spread out after a day ashore.

Our cruise experts can talk through each grade and help you match the cabin to your travel plans — call before you book.

Sailing the Danube with AmaWaterways

Every one of AmaMora’s current sailings travels the Danube, one of Europe’s great river routes, connecting Central European cities and landscapes across itineraries of up to 14 nights. Budapest is the most common departure point, with additional sailings starting from Vilshofen and Nuremberg in Germany and from Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Why Book AmaMora with Cruise1st

As one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, Cruise1st brings genuine knowledge of AmaWaterways — not the generalist approach of a high-street travel agent. Because every AmaMora sailing departs from a port in Hungary, Germany or the Netherlands, the cruise sits in the middle of a longer trip: Cruise1st Packages put the flights, hotel nights either side and transfers together with the cruise as one holiday, on a single booking. If you have questions about itineraries, cabin grades or what is included in your fare, our cruise experts are on the phone before you book.

Other Ships in the AmaWaterways Fleet

If you are weighing up your options, AmaWaterways operates several other ships you can explore: AmaMagna, Zambezi Queen, AmaVerde, AmaVenita, AmaDahlia and AmaLea are all other ships in the same fleet that a reader may be choosing between.

Common Questions About AmaMora

Do AmaMora Cruises Include Meals?

Yes. Both the Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table are included in the cruise fare, as are the speciality coffees and teas from the self-service station. Drinks at the Main Lounge bar are charged separately unless you hold a beverage package.

Which Cabin Grade Is Right for Me on AmaMora?

If private outdoor space matters most, the Balcony Cabin AA gives you both a French drop-down window and a full outside terrace — two separate ways to enjoy the river from your cabin. The Suite SS is the most spacious option at 32.5 m² and suits two guests wanting the most room on board. The Outside Cabin D is a well-lit, practical choice for two if you are happy to use the shared Sun Deck for outdoor time. Our experts can help you decide — call Cruise1st before you book.

Do I Need to Fly to Join AmaMora?

Yes — all current sailings depart from ports in Hungary, Germany or the Netherlands, so you will need to fly from the UK to join the ship. Cruise1st can package the flights, any hotel nights before or after the cruise, and your transfers into a single booking alongside the cruise itself.

Can I Explore Ports Independently on AmaMora?

AmaMora carries a complimentary bicycle fleet that guests can use ashore at no charge, making it straightforward to explore Danube ports at your own pace without joining a guided excursion. The ship also features a walking track on the Sun Deck for exercise on days at sea or in transit.

How Many Guests Does AmaMora Carry?

AmaMora accommodates up to 156 guests, served by a crew of 30. That ratio underpins the attentive, unhurried style of service that river cruising with AmaWaterways is known for, and it means the on-board spaces — from the Main Lounge to the heated pool — rarely feel crowded.
