AmaMelodia

When it launches in the summer of 2025, AmaMelodia will be the second major river ship designed to sail on the Magdalena River in Colombia, following the 2024 launch of AmaMagdalena.

River cruise line AmaWaterways has this to say about the upcoming ship: "Cruise in luxury along Colombia’s magnificent Magdalena River on board our stunning newly designed AmaMelodia, an intimate 64-passenger ship designed to maximize your views along this special waterway. Take in spectacular views from the twin balconies (French balcony and outside balcony) within your spacious stateroom, where accommodations range from 237 sq. ft. to 318 sq. ft. in our luxury suites. Taste exquisite, locally inspired Latin American cuisine and Western favorites within the Main Restaurant, enjoy an intimate al fresco specialty dining experience and tap your foot along to live music and more each evening within the Main Lounge. For the ultimate in relaxation, soothe your muscles in the sun-deck heated pool, treat yourself to a massage or indulge in a manicure or pedicure in the nail salon."

A weekly highlight will be an exclusive Carnaval performance in Barranquilla to provide a taste of the country's colorful annual festival.
