AmaCerto Christened by CLIA President Christine Duffy

eliteCruisesTravel — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:39:42 +0000

Meticulously-designed AmaCerto Christened by
CLIA President Christine Duffy

AmaWaterways is extremely proud of its newest ship, the AmaCerto, christened on May 16, 2012 in the scenic German town of Vilshofen. Select staff, VIP guests, townspeople and local dignitaries gathered along the banks of the Danube for a special blessing and christening ceremony, with the ship’s godmother, Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) President Christine Duffy, doing the honors. In keeping with maritime tradition, Ms. Duffy smashed a bottle of Champagne against the AmaCerto’s bow, prompting enthusiastic cheers and applause from onlookers.

“Christine Duffy is a prestigious godmother and we are thrilled to have our AmaCerto under her guidance,” said AmaWaterways President and Co-Owner Rudi Schreiner. “The AmaCerto was designed with the passenger in mind. AmaCerto is the most innovative ship available and we enjoyed celebrating its christening with the Vilshofen locals.”

The festivities began with the “Triumphal March from Aida” as stilt walkers entertained the crowd, school children handed out colorful balloons, and the AmaCerto gloriously sailed into view. Vilshofen Mayor Georg Krenn extended a warm welcome to guests, followed by remarks from Rudi Schreiner, AmaWaterways Executive Vice President and Co-Owner Kristin Karst, and Christine Duffy. There was a special blessing of the ship; a performance by a children’s dance group; moving renditions of “Ave Maria” and “Hallelujah” by soprano Heidlinde Schmid, and an opportunity for guests to sign the town’s commemorative Golden Book.

As Ms. Duffy christened the ship in an explosive froth of Champagne, delighted onlookers released their balloons and a 10-gun salute sounded from a brigade of Vilshofen soldiers dressed in traditional Bavarian garb.

AmaWaterways’ new AmaCerto is a deluxe 164-passenger vessel that incorporates the most advanced river cruise ship design including Twin Balconies in the majority of its spacious staterooms and suites, which range up to 350 sq. feet. Passengers will enjoy gourmet dining with free-flowing local wine at the multiple fine dining venues available on board. The AmaCerto also features a heated sun deck swimming pool with a ‘swim-up’ bar; fitness center and spa; complimentary Internet and Infotainment system in all staterooms plus Wi-Fi. For passengers wanting to explore the serene paths along the rivers, the AmaCerto offers a fleet of bicycles on board.

Classic Civilizations by Land and Sea

eliteCruisesTravel — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:38:59 +0000

SIMILAR TO RIVER CRUISING:
•	Small-ship cruising aboard Aegean Odyssey enables us to call on less crowded harbors, sail closer to coastlines, visit more ports per itinerary and those inaccessible to even medium-sized ships as well as berth upriver in the heart of Bangkok, Yangon and Ho Chi Minh City.
•	Carrying only 350 guests ensures minimal time to debark, providing guests more time to explore each port & a more up-close & personal experience
•	Boutique-style cruising includes open-seating dining and the opportunity to obtain regional food & wines locally as we sail
LIKE LAND TOURS:
•	Our expertly planned itineraries are destination-focused and feature an in-depth way to experience each region
•	Itineraries are designed as cruise-tours, many featuring pre- and/or post-cruise hotel stays including transfers and sightseeing
•	Onboard enrichment fully complements the land portion of the cruise-tour with a team of guest lecturers and celebrated speakers
ITINERARY FEATURES:
•	Our unique product brings to life the history & culture of ancient civilizations throughout the Mediterranean & Far East
•	Included shore excursions in each port designed to visit ancient cities, explore archaeological and architectural treasures, and delve into the origins, cultures and genius of western civilization
•	Included land extensions on many Far East itineraries, featuring a 5-day Golden Triangle tour in India and a 2-day trip by air to Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
•	To ensure guests get the most out of each excursion, we are the only ocean-going cruise ship to use Quietvox headsets for all excursions
With inclusive fares from just $3,995, you will find our cruises to classical civilizations are much more than a simple cruise experience. It’s a land tour with a ship as transportation – it’s a river cruise on a larger body of water – it is a full destination experience.

Price is per person, double occupancy, minimum category. Roundtrip Air (and transfers) applicable in conjunction with cruise-tour purchase only and includes all government taxes/fees and airline fuel surcharges, which may change at any time. All offers are capacity controlled, subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. Ship’s Registry: Malta.
