AmaSiena, AmaWaterways’ latest river cruise ship, has joined the line’s fleet. Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president and COO of Owned Brands for World Travel Holdings, served as the vessel’s godmother and named her on Aug. 29 in Lahnstein, Germany. She was joined by the line’s co-founders, Rudi Schreiner and Kristin Karst.
“Being part of the travel industry has allowed me to discover so much of the world, and AmaWaterways has taken me to many of these amazing places, traveling along iconic rivers visiting spectacular cities and discovering amazing towns like Lahnstein, where we celebrated the christening of AmaSiena,” said Fiorino, in a press release. “I am honored to act as her godmother as we celebrate a safe return to the rivers and the promise of a bright future ahead.”
AmaSiena marks the fleet’s 26th riverboat, which officially arrived when Fiorino broke a ceremonial bottle of champagne over the ship’s bow. The vessel is a sister to AmaLucia, AmaMora, AmaLea and AmaKristina and features 78 staterooms, massage and hair salon services, a heated pool and two gourmet restaurants, plus a new al fresco space in the main lounge for casual outdoor dining.
“The christening ceremony for AmaSiena celebrates our much-anticipated return to the rivers, and it is particularly meaningful to have esteemed travel industry leader Debbie Fiorino act as her proud godmother,” said Karst, in a press release. “We continue to be inspired by the resiliency, passion and commitment of the travel advisor community and we are so proud to share this christening with the travel advisors and guests that joined us for this special event, as well as our dedicated crew members who create the cherished vacation memories for our guests.”
AmaSiena will sail on weeklong itineraries along the Rhine River. In 2022, the riverboat will also head to Dutch and Belgian waterways.
