History

Fewer guests on the same hull, and why

AmaStella is 135 metres long, exactly like the hulls delivered between 2010 and 2015. Yet it carries 156 guests in 78 cabins, against 161 in 85 on the previous generation. Seven cabins fewer for the same length.

The arithmetic is simple and rarely explained: cabins were removed to enlarge the ones that remain and to add intermediate categories. The result is felt less in the cabin than in the public rooms. Five guests fewer changes nothing about the buffet queue; seven cabins fewer in the same volume does.

Few river lines accept that arithmetic, because it costs saleable berths for the whole life of the ship. Those that do rarely repeat it from one generation to the next.

Rhine and Danube

Departures from Amsterdam and Basel, across the two basins joined by the Main-Danube canal. Our count on 26 August 2026 found 127 departure dates across three years.

The other ships in the fleet

AmaViola was named on the same day as this one. AmaMora and AmaLucia share its configuration. AmaPrima belongs to the previous generation, with seven more cabins on the same length.

What the cruise fare covers

Meals are included, with wine and beer served at lunch and dinner, soft drinks at any hour and a daily cocktail before supper. Guided excursions are included at every port. Wi-Fi is included. Bicycles are aboard, free to use during port calls on the European ships.

Outings are graded by effort: gentle, regular, active. That is not brochure caution. An active visit strings together stairs and slopes for three hours, and anyone who overestimates themselves at the start regrets it on the way back. Choose the level the evening before, not on the morning itself.

Two items are not included and they matter. Gratuities for the crew and the guides remain your responsibility on every destination: the line suggests an amount, it does not charge it. Air travel is not included either, unless bought through the line's own air programme.

Who this ship suits

The clientele is adult. There is no children's club, no childcare and no youth programme, and every traveller under eighteen shares a cabin with a responsible adult. The minimum age varies by destination and grows stricter on the African journeys; have it confirmed for the date you want.

A lift links the main decks, but it does not reach the sun deck, which is accessed by stair. That is where the landscape is watched from. Add to that boarding gangways that vary from quay to quay, and calls where you cross another ship moored alongside to reach the bank. Reduced mobility is prepared for, not improvised.

Booking from Quebec

Voyages AquaTerra operates under a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur. The sums you pay move through a trust account kept separate from the agency's own funds, and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents steps in where the law provides. That protection does not follow a booking made outside Quebec.

The ship is the simple part of the file. The flight, the connection, the hotel night before embarkation and the transfer to the pier make up the rest, and that is where the real comfort of a departure is decided.

Frequently Asked Questions

A hundred and fifty-six guests in 78 cabins, against 161 in 85 on the previous generation of the same length. Seven cabins were removed to enlarge the ones that remain.
To enlarge the ones that remain and add intermediate categories. The result is felt mostly in the public rooms: seven cabins fewer in the same volume changes the density.
Our inventory measured 127 departure dates on 26 August 2026, across 2026, 2027 and 2028, departing from Amsterdam and Basel.
The Rhine and the Danube, joined by the Main-Danube canal. The port of departure changes the geography of the route and the countries crossed a great deal.
In 2016, in the second wave of 135-metre hulls, the one that reduces the number of cabins to enlarge their volume and add intermediate categories.
Yes, in the upper cabins: a sliding glass wall and a real outdoor balcony in the same cabin. The lower categories open onto a fixed window.
In the cabin, modestly. In the public rooms, more so: fewer cabins in the same volume means fewer people in the same place at the same hours.
A hundred and thirty-five metres, the standard length of the European series. It is the same as the previous generation; only the internal layout changes.
No. They stay on your account, on this destination as on every other the line serves. An amount is suggested; it is not added to your bill automatically.
No, unless bought through the line's air programme. The flight is otherwise booked separately, preferably with a night on the ground before embarkation.
Yes, a guided excursion at every port, with an effort level announced in advance: gentle, regular or active. The active level strings together stairs and slopes for several hours.
None. No club, no childcare, no youth activities. Under-eighteens share a cabin with a responsible adult, and the minimum age depends on the destination.
Yes, between the main decks, but it does not reach the sun deck, which is accessed by stair. Flag any mobility constraint when booking.
Yes, free to use during port calls, including electrically assisted ones. On the Rhine and the Danube, cycle paths follow the bank almost without a break.
