The number of agents selling AmaWaterways has increased by almost a fifth this year, the river line has revealed in the days following the launch of its first Colombia-based ship.

Jamie Loizou, the ultra-luxury line’s UK managing director, revealed Colombia’s Magdalena River ranked third in terms of sales in March, beating the traditionally popular Nile and Douro waterways.

Ama launched the 60-passenger AmaMagdalena last month, with the 64-passenger AmaMelodia due to start operating on the same river in June.

“It really is cutting-edge what we’re doing out there,” said Loizou.
