Why travellers choose the Iberotel Amara
The ship
With 29 rooms, Amara is the smallest ship we sell — a boutique cruiser for travellers who would rather share the sun deck with a few dozen people than a few hundred. It is run by the Jaz Hotel Group, and its rate does not change with the season.
Cabins
There are 27 cabins of about 15 m² and 2 larger suites of about 28 m². Cabins are air-conditioned, with a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, a minibar and panoramic windows onto the river.
Life on board
The pool and sun terrace are on the roof deck, and there is a main restaurant and a lounge bar. Meals are full board.

Fewer guests on board than any other ship we sell, so the sun deck, the restaurant and the gangway are quieter. The trade-off is fewer facilities than a large ship.

No. Amara is quoted at one rate for the whole year.
Who runs the ship?
The Jaz Hotel Group.

From $700 per person sharing a double for 3 nights, and from $935 for 4 nights — the same rate all year. Christmas, New Year and Easter are priced separately.
