AMACERTO Ship Review

Due in 2012, AmaCerto will be a sister ship to the popular AmaBella and AmaVerde. Photo courtesy of AmaWaterways.

AmaWaterways‘ newest vessel, AMACERTO,was launched in April 2012. During her first season, she will operate the line’s popular “Tulip Time Cruises” sailing roundtrip from beautiful Amsterdam, Netherlands. Following the close of the traditional Tulip season, she will embark on her maiden European cruise season.

At 443 feet in length, AMACERTO is a direct sister to the 2011-built AMAVERDE and the 2010 AMABELLA. She will carry 164 passengers in 82 staterooms.

AMACERTO Staterooms

There are seven different stateroom categories aboard AMACERTO:

• Category D and E staterooms measure 148 square feet, and are located on Piano Deck. They feature a fixed window and all the standard amenities AmaWaterways is known for, like complimentary Wi-Fi internet access in all staterooms, an interactive television system with flat-panel TV, hotel-quality linens and comfortable bedding.
• Category C staterooms are the first to feature a French balcony. Located on Violin and Cello decks, they also have more passenger space at 170 square feet.  All the amenities included in Category D and E staterooms are present here.
• Category BB staterooms feature AmaWaterways’ unique twin balcony concept, and include a French balcony in addition to a full, outside balcony complete with deck chairs and a small table. These staterooms are also slightly larger than Category C staterooms at 210 square feet, and are located on Cello Deck.
• Category AA and AB staterooms are larger still at 235 square feet, and reside on Violin and Cello decks. Like the Category BB staterooms, they also feature the line’s unique twin balcony concept, comprised of an actual, outdoor balcony with table and chairs in addition to a French balcony indoor sitting area.
• Suites are the highest level of accommodation aboard AMACERTO. At 350 square feet, they’re also the most spacious, and also include the line’s unique dual-balcony concept.  Expect these staterooms to deliver more everything: more space, more amenities, more comfort.

AMACERTO Public Areas

Like all AmaWaterways river cruise ships, AMACERTO really shines in her interior appointments. Besides the usual dining room, lounge and bar, AMACERTO features multiple dining venues, a massage and hair salon, a fitness room, and even a heated swimming pool – a rarity among river cruise vessels. A 24-hour station provides coffee, tea and water, and juices are available during breakfast hours.
