European river cruise line and
APT partner line AmaWaterways
has just completed the maiden
sailing of its new ship, now
officially named AmaSerena.
Michelle Fee, chief executive
and co-founder of US based agent
group Cruise Planners served as
Godmother of the new vessel,
with festivities taking place in the German town of Vilshofen.
AmaWaterways co-founders
Rudi Schreiner and Kristin Karst
were on hand for the ceremony,
which saw the maritime tradition
of a champagne bottle broken
against the ship’s hull.
The occasion was a carnivallike
atmosphere, with live music
and local entertainers brought in
along with Bavarian cuisine.
AmaSerena will now embark on
voyages including a number of
itineraries available through APT.
