AmaWaterways has expanded its Exotics Division with its new 124-passenger river cruise ship AmaDara.

The innovative ship is now cruising the River Mekong in Cambodia with departures every two weeks from Siem Reap, and from August 2016 it will also depart from Ho Chi Min, so it will sail the river in both directions.

AmaWaterway's co-owners Rudi Schreiner, Kristin Karst and Gary Murphy met travellers in Siem Reap, Cambodia, as AmaDara was about to make its maiden voyage along the Mekong River.

"We are thrilled to celebrate the arrival of AmaDara on the legendary Mekong River," said Kristin Karst, Executive Vice President.

"This new ship gives travellers the chance to enjoy the comfort and luxury of AmaWaterways, while having a truly authentic experience exploring one of the most incredible regions of the world."

The ship has air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a spa and fitness centre plus a sun deck with a pool

The ship also has air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a spa and fitness centre plus a sun deck with pool.
