It’s all about Pickleball on the Danube! AmaWaterways’ flagship vessel, AmaMagna, is the first river cruise ship to offer a full sized pickleball court meaning guests of all ages can grab a paddle and serve up an ace while cruising the Danube.
What is Pickleball?
For those not already in the know, Pickleball combines elements of tennis, ping pong and badminton. It’s the fastest growing sport in the US, (The Clooneys, Kardashians and Leonardo de Caprio are all fans) and now its popularity is growing in the UK too.
Pickleball on AmaMagna
The pickle ball court is located on AmaMagna’s sundeck and available to guests free of charge for the duration of their cruise.
It’s not the first time that AmaWaterways has embraced the newest trends in wellness and active travel.
The company was the first to offer a fleet of bicycles on-board its ships for customer use. It was also the first to employ ‘wellness hosts’ who arrange guided hiking and biking excursions as well as offering a range of classes such as Pilates, cardio and stretching.
For those who need a little encouragement there is even a ‘champagne yoga’ class available on selected sailings – (now that’s an exercise class I can definitely sign up to!)
Picketball on the Danube?
If you’re interested in trying out Champagne Yoga or Picketball on the Danube, then prices for a cruise on AmaMagna currently start from £2,468 per person for the seven night ‘Magna on the Danube’ itinerary from Budapest to Vilshofen, departing on 12 November 2023, which includes free flights from Gatwick or Heathrow.
The price is based on two sharing an inside cabin on full board basis and includes drinks with meals and a range of daily excursions.
