This is great, but I'd love to see year-round service. I thought the route was staying until October when it was first announced, but this article says it ends around Labour Day. Not sure if there was a change, or maybe the demand just wasn't there.
Ah, the saga continues ... yet somehow goes nowhere.
It looks swanky, but "resplendent" is probably a bridge too far ... and yes, that pun was intended.
I'm not sure why this hasn't gotten more coverage, or what it means big picture, but it sounds like a ton of aircraft won't be able to fly into Canada, or specifically, land in Canada. Will this really affect that many flights?
For some reason, I just assumed that Michelin was already in New Zealand, but I guess not?
I think they are going to need more than 42 extra seats per flight...
These are very satisfying statistics.
This makes me sad, but I can understand why it's happening ... hoping this isn't a permanent shift, but it may very well be.
I was kinda surprised by this. I mean, it's good news, but I thought they would hold off on it.
This is great, but it would be even better if it started in November instead of December. Maybe they will expand in the coming years? If anyone knows when this route ends, please share!
This is intriguing. Haven't experienced the AmaMagna, but have questions about the ever-widening river ships and where they can actually dock.
Never done a river cruise before, but the ships always seem a little claustrophobic compared to what I'm used to (we usually do one Caribbean, Carnival cruise each Winter). My husband really wants to do a summer river cruise, and we've been looking at some options. AmaWaterways double-width ships seem like a good option. I want to wait and book on the AmaRudi (https://openjaw.com/newsroom/cruise/2026/06/25/amawaterways-reveals-amarudi-europes-largest-river-cruise-ship/), but my other half wants to book sooner and smaller, he thinks it will be "cozy" to be on something small, and is looking at Avalon's options—does not like the idea of a double-width ship.
Am I worrying over nothing? How crowded do river ships actually feel? Like, can you find space without other passengers?
This is huge news for the many, many Canadians who head to the UK!
Not for me, but a pretty interesting wellness gimmick. Haven't heard of any other cruise lines offering this ... and there might be a reason for that.
