AmaCello Ship Review

The AmaCello launched in 2008, and became a sister ship to the 2009-built AmaLyra and AmaDolce. Carrying 144 guests apiece, these vessels are 360 feet in length and feature some of the most luxurious accommodations in the river cruise market.

AmaCello Staterooms

• Starting at 140 square feet are the Single Accommodations. These two staterooms are located side-by-side on the Cello Deck, and feature a French balcony – making them ideal for solo travelers who don’t want to compromise. These feature a wardrobe, bathroom with shower, and a desk with Internet access and a flat-screen television.
• Categories D and E measure 170 square feet, and are located on Piano Deck. They feature fixed windows and offer a sitting area, desk with Internet access and flat-screen television, and a bathroom with shower.
• Categories A,B and C are also 170 square feet, but are located on Cello and Violin decks. They feature all the amenities of the Category D and E staterooms, but with the addition of floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a French balcony. Category A staterooms offer a slightly more desirable location, being one deck higher than Category B and are located amidships.
• Topping off the accommodation choices are three Junior Suites. Located on Violin Deck, these suites are a comfortable 255 square feet and feature a full bathroom with shower and tub, a flat-screen TV, mini bar, spacious wardrobe, and a full-size window in addition to a complete French balcony. As with many ships, these suites can sell out quickly, so it pays to plan ahead.

AmaCello Public Areas

Inside, AmaCello features a host of amenities designed to soothe and entertain when you’re not admiring the passing scenery. She features a library, a beautiful main lounge and bar, a reception area, gift shop, an aft-facing lounge, and a bow-facing seating area. The ship’s restaurant features fine cuisine influenced by local specialties and ingredients. Ample open seating is available on the Sun Deck, which also features a whirlpool and a walking track.
