Design

Diversity

Most of the Group's individual companies focus on capital investments and participations in the leisure and shipping industry.

Kamphuisen Shipping (chartering) and Kamphuisen Projects (design & building) play a more active role and offer a wide range of services. The companies offers services in the shipping industry in general but are specialized in inland shipping; or to be even more specific: in river cruising.

 

Unique

With a wide portfolio of already constructed and delivered vessels, Kamphuisen Projects is one of the most innovating companies in the design of river cruise ships. From classic vessels with the Art Deco design of the early twenties up to the most modern and innovating river cruisers. We are able to translate your ideas into a perfect sailing hotel.

Amamagna (2019)

Amamagna (2019)
Fold back

On July 15, 2019 the amazing and revolutionary AmaMagna was christened in Grein (Austria) by the Emma Award winning godmother: Samantha Brown.

The AmaMagna is not only amazing because of her size – twice the width of a normal river cruise ship but she only carries 20% more guests as the comparing vessels in the AMA-fleet.  The double width design allows passengers more personal space, amenities and dining venues. The first ideas, sketches, meetings and designs for this vessel already started in already 2016 and ended up with her delivery to and commissioning in April 2019 at the port of Linz (A)

The AmaMagna is provided with the most modern installations and is also equipped with a diesel-electric propulsion system.  Unlike previous and other ships, the total installed power is better attuned to the daily required use.  The on-board power is provided by especially smaller- and therefore more economical and cleaner – diesel engines.

The ship offers 98 staterooms measuring between 33 and 66 square meter and are all appointed with a stylish décor and natural wood accents.  There are 4 restaurants to choose from – the Main Restaurant, the Al Fresco, Jimmy’s Winebar & Restaurant as well as the Chef’s Table Restaurant.

 This all along with guest enhanced amenities such as an onboard cinema, a large boutique, an expansive ZEN Wellness Studio with separate juice bar and two massage rooms.  All sundeck facilities are accessible with a pop-up elevator – you will also find a large, heated pool with a separated whirlpool and sky-bar.

We would like to give you a broader view of this special project...Enjoy!

Also introduced in 2016 the AmaViola is already vessel number 8 in a successful row of award-winning river cruise vessels and the second vessel with the new layout.  The AmaReina has been delivered in April 2016 to her owner AmaWaterways but will also sail in an exclusive charter for “Adventures by Disney”

The AmaViola was not only custom-designed to offer her guests the most innovative, elegant and comfortable experience on the river – but also with the specific clients of Disney in mind.

This ship differs from their sisters by having it's own selected color scheme, more connecting rooms and new in the AMA-fleet:  a full glass railing on each balcony.   Combined with a teak handrail and deck – elegance does not stop at the doorstep.

The AmaViola features the new designed rooming configurations for groups and families including six sets of connecting staterooms to accommodate families up to five and four suites with convertible sofa-beds to accommodate families of up to four, as well as larger spaces for the spa, fitness room and salon on the lower deck.

The ship differ from their sisters by having each it's own selected color scheme - and of course improvements in many area’s.  Special attention has been given to the sound insulation from engine rooms to accommodation. Not only by adding extra insulation around the generators - but also the main engines and propulsion system has been considered. Adding even more comfort to the passengers on board.

Amaprima (2013)

Amaprima (2013)
Fold back

Built as a sister ship of the AmaCerto the AmaPrima only differs from her predecessor in small details and some minor improvements.
Ample space per passenger, a pool with bar, various lounges and restaurants gives her facilities that can compete with large oceangoing vessels.  The Amaprima offers mainly cabins with the Twin Balcony concept.

As well as her sister ship the Amaprima was designed in a style which does remind you to the lines of the classical Dutch yachts.  In the interior you also recognize hints to famous wooden motor launches like Riva or Boesch.  Eye catchers on board are the round glass elevator and of course the entire high gloss wooden service-area.

Besides designing we also take care about the environment – on all AMA ships wastewater is cleaned on board, garbage and waste will be separated and compressed and with exception of the navigation lights the ship is fully equipped with LED-lights.  Thus saving over 585.000 kWh per annum and reducing the CO2 emission over 325.000 kg

In 2013 the AmaPrima has been selected as the Best New River Cruiseship 2013 by UK's Cruise Critic and Travel Weekly from the USA awarded the Amaprima with a Magellan Gold Award in the River Cruise Ship category.

Amacerto (2012)

After a series of 8 - more or less - identical ships the AMA Board decided to order the 9th vessel, with a totally different look.  The first designs were made on a paper napkin in a Lappish restaurant.
The m.v. "Amacerto" is the first of this new series of 135 meter vessels, especially designed for AMA Waterways - and started operation in April 2012.  Again featuring more space per passenger, a swimming pool with pool bar, various and spacious lounges and dining experiences - inside and outside.

The "Amacerto" offers in the majority of her cabins the Twin Balcony concept - introduced with AMA Waterways in 2010.  But you will also find cabins with or without a French balcony.

The design of the Amacerto at both inside and outside does remind you to the typical lines of classic Dutch yachts and of some famous Italian motor launches. One of the eye-catchers on board is the integrated glass elevator in the Lobby / reception area.

This was not our only task. Kamphuisen Projects was asked to take responsibility to selections and purchasing for the entire interior and all other necessary appliances for the ship. The vessel was therefore delivered ready to sail by us to her owner.

The great success of the Amadagio led to a series of six nearly identical AMA-ships. The thing varying the most between these vessel is the interior.
