Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 19 river cruises. So I've kind of seen it all all kinds of different sizes with all kinds of different companies.

when it comes to actual ships itself, this is definitely probably the coolest river cruise that I've ever been on.

this is going to be as close to the ocean feel as you're going to get.

the rooms here are between 30 to 50% bigger than comparative rooms on other ships

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the AmaMagna first if you're an ocean cruiser who thinks river cruises are too small or boring.
