It comes after the river line last month confirmed it was pushing back the launch of its new Colombia-based ship, AmaMagdalena, into 2025 having previously delayed the vessel twice.
Ama put the delays down to the challenges of being a “pioneer” when it announced the latest launch date for the ship will be 15 March next year.
The new 60-passenger ship will operate seven-night itineraries on Magdalena, which Ama claims has not seen any commercial cruise activity since the 1960s.
