AmaWaterways has reinforced its commitment to sustainable cruising by outlining plans to reduce its fuel consumption by installing solar panels and reducing onboard paper and food waste.

Germany's national disease control centre, the Robert Koch Institute, announced the plans on Monday (5 July)

Rudi Schreiner, cofounder and president of the river line, said sustainability is the "top and ever-present" responsibility of every company in the travel industry. 

"Each of our ships and every itinerary we operate is thoughtfully designed to minimise fuel consumption but the impact we have on the local communities is also of utmost importance to us," he added.

The line is currently building its two newest ships in Colombia, working in partnership with local architects, designers and suppliers to ensure it is incorporating the destinations’ natural resources and culture.
