The 102-passenger AmaSintra features 51 staterooms, most with an outside balcony and large floor-to-ceiling window. Spacious public areas onboard include a Sun Deck pool, a fitness room, and a main restaurant offering regionally inspired cuisine along with international favourites.
The christening ceremony took place in Porto with the ship’s godmother, Jenn Lee, President of Vacation Planners.
AmaSintra will operate an immersive itinerary along the Douro River.
