Guests can choose from 12 types of staterooms that can hold up to three family members each, six sets of adjoining cabins that can be connected via an internal doorway, accommodating families of up to five, or four suites with convertible sofa beds that can accommodate families of up to four. Each stateroom comes equipped with AmaWaterways’ Entertainment on Demand system, which includes complimentary Internet access, the latest movies, a music library and more.

In addition, AmaStella’s new room configurations feature more of the cruise line’s signature twin-balcony (French and outside balconies) staterooms. Onboard amenities range from The Chef’s Table specialty restaurant and a sun deck to a heated pool with a swim-up bar and a massage and beauty salon.
