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!"
On May 10 in Lahnstein, Germany, a very special lady of the AmaWaterways family, Kristin Karst, Co-Owner and Executive Vice President, and the Godmother of the new AmaKristina, christened her namesake.
“I never dreamed that as a young girl growing up in Dresden on the banks of the Elbe River that I would one day have a ship named after me.”
For a first-hand account of the Christening ceremony from the ship’s esteemed Godmother herself, please click on the link below to read more on Kristin’s Blog.
It is believed that a Godmother brings a feminine benevolent spirit to the ship and protects the future sailings and its passengers. And the sacrificial smashing of a champagne bottle on the hull by the Godmother is believed to impart the ship with her personality. For those who will be traveling on the new AmaKristina on the Enchanting Rhine itinerary, they can expect to be treated to the most beautiful, stylish and graceful ship as the Godmother and namesake, Kristin Karst, personifies the vessel.
Outfitted in warm, colorful décor, AmaKristina is a floating sanctuary accommodating 158 guests. Like her sister ships, the AmaViola and AmaStella, she features connecting staterooms, as well as triple occupancy staterooms tailored specifically to families and groups who wish to travel together. Guests can also enjoy AmaWaterways’ unique signature twin-balcony staterooms with both a French balcony and an outside balcony. The ship offers an array of communal spaces for socializing and three dining venues, including The Chef’s Table – an intimate dining experience with an exquisite, multi-course tasting menu paired with hand-selected regional wines all at no additional cost. Other amenities include the sun deck jogging track and heated pool with swim-up bar; expanded fitness center; hair salon and spa; free Wi-Fi throughout the ship; an elevator reaching all stateroom decks; and in-room Entertainment-On-Demand system.
