Samantha Brown Sails the Danube aboard the AmaMagna

February 24, 2019

Years ago, when the Travel Channel’s programming was all about traveling, I became a Samantha Brown fan.  I booked hotels and activities based on her recommendations and was never disappointed.  So when I saw that she had been asked by AmaWaterways to be godmother of the new AmaMagna, I took notice!


Samantha Brown will actually sail aboard the AmaMagna on the Romantic Danube departing July 14, 2019 from Vilshofen, Germany to Budapest, Hungary. The Danube journeys through the very heart of Europe stopping at some of the world’s most elegant, and influential cities. Multiple capitals including Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava makes this an extraordinary itinerary for both first-time river cruisers as well as seasoned cruisers.


Aside from the itinerary, and a brand new ship like no other, Samantha will be onboard to share insider tips and stories with guests during two presentations on how to really appreciate the essence of travel. Her new show, “Places to Love” airs on public television.


The AmaMagna, a ship at twice the width of traditional European river cruise ships, offers incredibly spacious riverview staterooms, four unique dining venues and five bars. Travelers interested in health and wellness can take advantage of a large swimming pool and whirlpool on the Sun Deck; the expansive Zen Wellness Studio, featuring a fitness center and spa services, as well as an innovative Water Sports Platform with a Sundowner boat that takes guests even closer to the Danube.
