The ship Amera
Amera is the latest ship which joined the fleet. It was christened on 16th August 2019 in Bremerhaven. The ship was built in 1988 as Royal Viking Sun and was transfered to different cruise lines after that. Before it joined the fleet of Phoenix Reisen it had hosted passengers of Holland America Line and had been well-known with its name Prinsendam. In summer 2019 the ship stayed for several weeks in a dry dock in Hamburg, Germany where it was renovated and modernised. According to the small size people can travel to extraordinary ports with Amera. The popular promenade deck and the lookout on top of the bridge exist aboard of Amera as well.
