AmaWaterways has opened bookings for its full 2028 river cruise program, with four new ships planned for the Rhine, Douro and Chobe rivers. Two of the additions will operate in Portugal, where the line will continue its extended sailing season into November and December. The additions will bring AmaWaterways’ Douro offering to four vessels and give it a second ship on the Chobe. The company, which operates approximately 29 river cruise ships, has also announced plans to exceed 50 vessels by 2032. “We’re always looking ahead and thinking about how we can continue to evolve the AmaWaterways experience and bring our guests closer to the destinations they visit,” said AmaWaterways Chief Executive Officer Catherine Powell. ## New ships for three river markets AmaMaria will enter service on the Rhine with 76 staterooms. Its redesigned layout will follow that of sister ship AmaFiora, which is scheduled to debut in April 2027. On the Douro, AmaGaia and another, as-yet-unnamed newbuild will join AmaDouro and AmaSintra. The Portuguese expansion forms part of a broader newbuild program that also includes vessels for the Nile, Mekong and Danube. On the Chobe River between Botswana and Namibia, the new vessel will operate alongside the 28-guest Zambezi Queen. Powell told Cruise Industry News that the Nile, Mekong, Chobe and Magdalena were performing particularly well, although Europe remained the core of the business. The 2028 collection includes sailings in Colombia, Egypt and Vietnam, as well as the company’s European and African programs. ## Longer French sailings and new land packages The new Elegance of Burgundy & Provence itinerary will offer 10- and 11-night departures aboard AmaCello in July and August 2028. Sailing the Rhône and Saône, the program will provide longer port calls focused on the regions’ wine areas, historic towns and culinary traditions. AmaWaterways is also adding pre- and post-cruise land stays. A three-night Krakow stay following Best of the Danube sailings will include a city tour with a visit to Schindler’s Factory and a full-day excursion to Auschwitz. A two-night Nuremberg package will be available before or after six itineraries: Iconic Christmas Markets, Blue Danube Discovery, Medieval Treasures, Europe’s Rivers & Castles, Magical Christmas Markets of Germany, and Legendary Danube. Activities will include visits to the Imperial Castle and the city’s art bunkers, plus a walking tour of Bayreuth that includes its UNESCO-listed opera house. Guests on selected Tulip Time and Best of Holland & Belgium sailings will be able to add three nights in Brussels. In France, AmaWaterways will offer new two-night packages in Lyon, Aix-en-Provence and Dijon. Additional two-night stays in Basel and Luxembourg will complement Rhine and Moselle journeys. Porto gets a package of the same length for itineraries starting or finishing in the city. The 2028 program will also offer free-time and self-guided experiences in selected cities across more than 70 ports. Powell described the aim as giving travelers “the freedom to wander a little further, discover a neighborhood or simply get a feel for what it’s like to be there.”

# Pangolin Voyager’s Quiet Electric Design Deserves More Attention Than Its Trophy Pangolin Voyager’s four electric outboards were chosen with a specific job in mind: giving wildlife photographers a quieter experience on the Chobe River. For a houseboat carrying just 10 guests, that strikes me as a more persuasive selling point than a “World’s Best” title. The solar-electric trimaran, operated by Pangolin Photo Safaris from the Namibian side of the river, received both World’s Best River Cruise Ship and Africa’s Best River Cruise Ship for 2026 at the sixth World Cruise Awards on October 12. Those awards are decided by cruise-industry professionals and public voters, and the highest vote total wins each category. That is recognition worth having, but it tells us who won the vote. The vessel’s design tells prospective guests considerably more about the trip. ## Electric propulsion with a clear purpose “We wanted a boat that let photographers experience it quietly and with as little disturbance as possible,” said Gerhard “Guts” Swanepoel, co-founder of Pangolin Photo Safaris. I like the clarity of that brief. Quiet operation has an obvious place on a houseboat built around observing wildlife. Pangolin says it is also among the features guests have singled out in their feedback, alongside the photography boat, food and onboard service. The propulsion system uses four RAD 40 electric outboards from UK supplier RAD Propulsion, each rated at 40 kW. Two are positioned forward and two aft. A pair of 61-kWh batteries stores electricity for use aboard. On the roof, 80 solar panels have a reported output of approximately 20–30 kW, depending on conditions. The array supplies propulsion and onboard systems, feeding the drives directly during daylight operation. Those figures describe the equipment. They do not establish how long the vessel can operate on solar power alone. The 31.7-meter aluminium vessel was built by Edelstahlbau CC, also known as ESB Boats, in Windhoek, Namibia, and assembled on the banks of the Zambezi. Construction took nearly two years. Pangolin describes Voyager as Africa’s first solar-powered, all-aluminium houseboat. ## A small boat with a specific audience The accommodation follows the same focused approach. Five en suite cabins can be configured with double or twin beds, and each has air conditioning and floor-to-ceiling windows fitted with mosquito netting. Upstairs are the lounge, dining space and bar, plus a darkened suite for editing photographs. A separate eight-seat photography boat accompanies the houseboat, departing at first light and again before sunset. It has articulated camera-support arms and gimbals that rotate through 360 degrees. Based in Kasane, Botswana, Pangolin caters to photographers from beginners to professionals and offers hosted safaris led by resident wildlife photographers. The editing space and camera supports give that specialism substance. Voyager’s appeal rests on that consistency. The accommodation, excursions and propulsion have been designed around a recognisable purpose. I’d like to see more cruise design decisions judged that way: by how well they serve the trip guests actually booked.
