Overview
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The M\/S Zambezi Queen<\/strong> was specifically designed to sail and view the abundant wildlife along the Chobe River, and offers AmaWaterways\u2019<\/strong><\/a> guests an African Safari experience that is wholly unique to the line.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2009, the Zambezi Queen is 150 feet in length and has a beam of 25.6 feet. She carries just 28 guests in 14 comfortable staterooms. She\u2019s also remarkably eco-friendly: hot water is produced through a solar heating system, and the Zambezi Queen uses water jet propulsion instead of traditional propellers, minimizing damage to the riverbed.<\/p>\n

    Aboard the Zambezi Queen, guests are treated to all the amenities of a luxurious boutique hotel. With only 28 passengers onboard, there\u2019s no shortage of available space to relax and soak in the views of one of the most spectacular locations on Earth.<\/p>\n

    A restaurant with panoramic views serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner, and guests can relax in the indoor lounge on Upper Deck or enjoy their beverage while cruising through some of Africa\u2019s most pristine locations.<\/p>\n

    A refreshing swimming pool \u00a0is located all the way forward on Upper Deck, along with loungers for sunning. There\u2019s also an onboard Lounge just aft of the Pool Deck, a Gift Shop, and a Cruise Director\u2019s Office for any questions you might have during your voyage.<\/p>\n
