After A Week On Board, I’ve Found The River Cruise For Small Ship Ocean Cruisers

I was skeptical at first. Could AmaWaterways’ new AmaMagna be the perfect transitional ship for small ship ocean cruisers who are wanna-be river cruisers? I won’t keep you in suspense. The answer is, possibly. I’m not hedging by taking the middle ground. After all, small ship ocean cruisers know well what they have to give up to test the rivers. That changed this past spring when AmaWaterways introduced a ship that was nearly double the width of the classic river cruisers. After spending last week sailing from Budapest to Vilshofen (as a guest of AmaWaterways), I can say with certainty that this is no longer river cruising as you once knew it.
