these rooms are usually about 160 square feet. Uh just real quickly, there's the rain uh rainfall shower and the handheld one.
Here they're 205. So this is much much nicer than a normal river cruise than Ama Alma's normal rooms about you know 25% bigger.
you're still in the under the water level. If you want the better views, you're want to going to go middle or top deck.
noise could be an issue. And you can hear the water lapping off the walls down here as well. So, if you're a late sleeper, bring earplugs.

Cruise and Tauck Tour & Safari expert Shawn Power is onboard the stunning AmaMagna, giving travel lovers a full tour of a Category D lower deck cabin—with valuable insights you won’t find on a brochure. At 205 sq. ft., these Category D (And identical/in a less favorable location category E) staterooms are 25% larger than standard lower-deck cabins on other AmaWaterways ships, offering extra comfort in a cozy, budget-friendly layout. But that’s not the full story. In this honest and detailed walkthrough, Shawn points out the pros and cons of staying in a fixed-window cabin below the waterline, including: - The upgraded bathroom layout with a rainfall shower - Smart storage and full-length closets - European and North American plug compatibility + USBs - Why noise and foot traffic may be a factor near the crew quarters, gift shop, Jimmy’s Wine Bar, and Chef’s Table restaurant - Whether this room is ideal for light sleepers, couples, or solo travelers - And his personal tips for getting the best value and rest in this cabin class Room Highlights: - 205 sq. ft. of space – larger than average river cruise lower cabins - Fixed window at water level (not a French or full balcony) - Separated closets for long and short garments - European & North American outlets + USB ports - Robes, slippers, safe, hairdryer, and mini fridge included - Comfy bed slightly larger than a home queen (can be separated for singles) 💡 Insider Tip: If you’re a light sleeper or sensitive to hallway activity, this room's proximity to crew areas and onboard amenities might make the mid or upper deck a better fit—though the size of this cabin is a major upgrade compared to other Ama ships Related Videos: "Inside" AmaMagna: https://youtu.be/sTr9SEgXeK0?si=jh3Kkm8V5iAiyBsR Food highlights onboard AmaMagna: https://youtu.be/mU1HSuw16Kc?si=1qQrfN6zicW78A-f "Danube Highlights" onboard AmaMagna: https://youtu.be/dnzCho75UAw?si=EWmebqpiQdIXTcLQ Why River Cruises are a Great way to travel! https://youtu.be/uASP6YXaZrg?si=N4IIJTUsSIkxBCh8
