Get ready for an intimate river cruise experience along the Douro River aboard AmaWaterways’ AmaSintra.

At 260 feet long, the AmaSintra accommodates approximately 102 guests in 51 staterooms, with a crew of 38. Its smaller size creates a relaxed, personal atmosphere where the river and scenery are always part of the experience.

The AmaSintra was designed specifically for cruising Portugal’s Douro River.

The ship offers an intimate alternative to a large ocean cruise ship, with fewer guests and a strong focus on the destinations along the Douro.

AmaSintra offers several accommodation categories, including rooms with river views, French balconies, and full balconies.

Stateroom features vary by category but may include:

One of the best features of a Douro River cruise is being able to enjoy the scenery from your own private space.

A balcony can be especially enjoyable during scenic cruising when you want to relax without leaving your stateroom.

Dining is an important part of the AmaWaterways experience.

Your cruise includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard, featuring a combination of regional specialties and familiar favorites.

Meals are designed to showcase the flavors of the destinations you're visiting.

During lunch and dinner, complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks are available.

AmaWaterways also offers its Sip & Sail Cocktail Hour, providing an opportunity to enjoy complimentary drinks while socializing with fellow guests.

AmaWaterways is known for its Chef's Table specialty dining experience on many European river ships.

Important for the AmaSintra: Chef's Table is not available on Portugal itineraries, so this is not an onboard dining option to expect on your Douro sailing.

The AmaSintra provides several comfortable spaces to relax between excursions.

A central gathering place for guests to relax, socialize, listen to presentations, or enjoy entertainment.

The Sun Deck is one of the best places to experience the Douro River.

Enjoy the scenery, relax in the open air, or find a comfortable spot to watch the landscape pass by.

The main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a comfortable setting overlooking the river.

The ship provides wellness and fitness opportunities for guests who want to stay active during their cruise.

AmaWaterways places a strong emphasis on exploring the destinations along the river.

Included excursions may feature:

• Guided sightseeing
• Cultural experiences
• Historic sites
• Wine experiences
• Walking tours
• Local traditions
• Culinary experiences

AmaWaterways also offers different activity levels on many excursions, allowing guests to select experiences that better match their interests and comfort level.

You are not required to participate in every excursion. Sometimes the best choice is to stay onboard and enjoy the scenery.

Your Cruise Manager is an important resource throughout the cruise.

They can assist with:

• Excursion information
• Daily announcements
• Questions about the ship
• Port information
• General travel assistance
• Recommendations and guidance

If you're unsure about something during your cruise, your Cruise Manager is a great place to start.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available onboard.

The ship also provides entertainment options in the staterooms.

Because the ship is traveling through rural areas of Portugal and along the river, connectivity can vary depending on location.

For important communication, it's always a good idea to have your information available offline as well.

AmaWaterways incorporates wellness into its river-cruise experience.

Depending on the sailing and schedule, guests may have opportunities to participate in:

• Stretching

You can participate as much—or as little—as you want.

If this is your first river cruise, the experience may feel very different from a traditional ocean cruise.

• Smaller ship
• Fewer guests
• Destinations are the focus
• Frequent time in port
• Scenic cruising is a major part of the experience
• More intimate atmosphere
• Excursions are generally focused on local culture and history

• Much larger ships
• Thousands of passengers on some ships
• More onboard entertainment and activities
• More time at sea
• Larger variety of restaurants, pools, and venues

The AmaSintra is designed for travelers who want to experience the destination while enjoying the comfort of a small ship.

Don't feel like you have to leave the ship every time it's in port. Some of the most beautiful moments happen while simply relaxing onboard.

The Douro River scenery is one of the highlights of the cruise. Make time to enjoy the Sun Deck and outdoor areas.

Even though the ship is luxurious, excursions can involve walking on cobblestones, hills, and uneven surfaces.

Temperatures can change throughout the day, particularly when moving between the ship, transportation, and outdoor sightseeing.

The AmaSintra is an intimate ship, and you won't need a large wardrobe.

Your Cruise Manager and crew are there to help make your experience as enjoyable as possible.

The appeal of the AmaSintra isn't about having the biggest ship or the most onboard attractions.

It's about waking up in a new place, stepping outside to beautiful river scenery, enjoying locally inspired food and wine, exploring with knowledgeable guides, and returning to a comfortable ship at the end of the day.

Unpack once. Explore more. Relax along the river.

That's the AmaWaterways experience aboard the AmaSintra.

Ship amenities, dining options, excursion offerings, and inclusions can change. Your specific AmaWaterways booking documents and final pre-cruise information should be used for the most current details.
