The One-of-a-Kind AmaMagna A dream in the making for several years, the award- winning AmaMagna debuted on the Danube River in 2019 and quickly became the flagship of AmaWaterways’ fleet – and the talk of the industry. Twice the width of traditional river cruise ships with more than 50% of accommodations being luxurious balcony suites, AmaMagna boasts five bars, four unique dining venues – including the vegetable- forward Al Fresco Restaurant and family-style dining at Jimmy’s Restaurant – an expansive Zen Wellness Studio with outdoor spin bikes and an onboard cinema. But what really delights guests is the luxury of space, from the split-level Main Lounge to the atrium and Sun Deck, which features both a swimming pool and rejuvenating whirlpool. AmaMagna also offers its own unique itinerary with an exclusive experience in the Austrian winemaking village of Spitz – just for AmaWaterways guests. The Next Chapter in River Cruising AmaWaterways made history when they announced their epic Seven River Journeys through Europe, debuting in 2023 – and have recently released their 49-night Seven River Journeys through 15 countries for 2024. These epic voyages include exclusive amenities and experiences just for Seven River Journey guests, from AmaWaterways’ first-ever visits to the nature-rich Danube Delta region to an exclusive folkloric experience in fascinating Moldova. The river cruise line will also be the first to ply the waters of Colombia’s colorful Magdalena River aboard an intimate eco-friendly ship designed specifically for this waterway in 2024. In addition, based on the popularity of their Douro River cruises, AmaWaterways has extended their sailing seasons in 2023 and 2024 to include late autumn and winter departures enabling guests to experience the changing of the seasons and Portuguese holiday traditions. Simple, Easy and Effective: Creating Groups with AmaWaterways Now that AmaWaterways’ 2024 itineraries are available for reservations, there has never been a better time to block your group space early.

Lucrative Commissions for You Your clients are not the only ones receiving amazing perks with a group sailing! Travel advisors can receive up to 18% group commission on the river cruise fare, with an additional 12% commission on pre- and post- cruise land packages, 10% commission on travel protection and extra hotel nights, and 5% commission on contracted air. Travel advisors not only receive commission at these lucrative rates, but you also receive a Tour Conductor credit for every nine full fares booked, meaning that you can use that credit – the average price of one cruise fare for the group – for an additional commission or for an additional group discount for your clients. If you have a special guest that the group is centered around, you can also use the Tour Conductor credit to pay their river cruise fare – or join your clients on the cruise in a complimentary stateroom.
