AmaPrima Overview
In 2013, AmaWaterways took delivery of the 162-guest, 443-foot long AmaPrima, sister ship to AmaCerto, launched in 2012. Designed to resemble the classic oceangoing yachts, AmaPrima continues AmaWaterways’ long tradition of building comfortable, spacious and elegant river cruise ships, but with a few new twists that were introduced on AmaCerto.
Those innovations include a stunning glass elevator, a heated swimming pool with swim-up bar, and an aft-facing specialty restaurant where magnificent views and an intimate dining experience are always on the menu. AmaPrima also features AmaWaterways’ “Twin Balcony” concept in many staterooms. These rooms and suites contain a standard French balcony and a full, step-out balcony.
AmaPrima Staterooms

There are eight different stateroom categories aboard AmaPrima:
- Categories D and E are both located on Piano Deck, and measure 160 square feet. They feature two fixed windows, a sitting area, a bathroom with glass-enclosed shower, and an interactive flat-screen TV featuring complimentary movies.
- Category C staterooms are standard French Balcony staterooms situated on Violin and Cello decks. They measure 170 square feet and feature all of the amenities of Categories D and E.
- Categories BA and BB are located on Violin and Cello decks, respectively. They measure 210 square feet and include both a standard French balcony and a full, step-out balcony — maximizing your options for taking in the sights and scents of Europe’s most beautiful waterways.
- Categories AA and AB are also located on Violin and Cello decks, and also feature both French and full, step-out balconies. At 235 square feet, they are slightly larger than Categories BA and BB.
- Suite Category staterooms are the largest accommodations aboard AmaPrima. These four suites, located at the forward end of Violin Deck, also feature both French and full step-out balconies. They also include a large, marble-clad bathroom featuring a separate shower, full-size soaker tub and dual sink and vanity area.
