Hello! "I'm Kristin Karst, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of AmaWaterways and I'm passionate about river cruising. Each month, I love to share with you my thoughts, personal stories, travel tips and latest news on the people and places that help turn every mile of our guests' river cruise experience into one of their most cherished memories!"
Throughout our Company’s history, music has been part of our DNA – it has influenced the naming of many of our ships such as AmaCello, AmaSonata, AmaCerto and AmaLyra – and has been a powerful connector, acting as a beautiful global language on board, uniting people regardless of age, gender, race, color, nationality or circumstances. Joyful rhythms bring us to our feet and meaningful lyrics raise our spirits. In a time when many of us have felt separated, music can do so much to bring us together and stimulate wonderful shared memories.
With this in mind, it is with great pride that we introduce to you our first-ever music video showcasing our original song, “Ama Means Love (Family)”. This performance was filmed in Budapest, Hungary with our Lead Onboard Entertainer and musician, David Onka. “Ama Means Love (Family)” symbolizes joy, strength in unity, and of course, family.
So much love was poured into the creation of this song and the accompanying music video. We would love to dedicate this to our loyal guests, our dedicated travel advisor partners and our teams around the world who continue to inspire Rudi, Gary and I, and have filled our hearts with “Ama” love over the years. We hope this beautiful song brightens your spirit and rekindles your travel spark.
As 2020 draws to a close, I hope you are ready to rekindle your future travel plans and start feeling the happiness that comes from looking forward to sharing a river cruise with friends and family. Research has shown that planning and anticipating a vacation brings almost as much happiness as the vacation itself. Planning for a river cruise vacation with family and friends — thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it together — may be the best thing you can do to stay positive and optimistic about the future. Last month, I shared the growing demand we were seeing for Celebration Travel with multi-generational and multi-family groups and we have a lovely article about a family of 19 if you would like to read more about their experiences on board.
We understand how important it is to plan with peace of mind and flexibility. We highly recommend the services of a professional travel advisor as we work hand in hand with them – before, during, and after the vacation – to ensure our guests always travel with maximum peace of mind. And with our new Ultimate Cruise Flexibility policy and our Travel Waiver Plus, you can book with confidence and adapt to whatever changes may occur before departure.
To add some additional sparkle to your holiday season, we would love to have you join us for our upcoming Sip & Sail & Celebrate - Virtual Holiday Cruise Event on December 17th. You can register for the live event on AmaWaterways’ Facebook page or on our YouTube channel.
