World Travel Holdings Executive Named Godmother of Cruise Ship

River cruise line AmaWaterways has announced the godmother of their newest ship, AmaSiena, which will cruise the Rhine, Moselle, and Main rivers beginning in July 2020.

Senior VP and COO of Owned Brands for World Travel Holdings Debbie Fiorino will be godmother of the brand-new ship, and perform the christening honors alongside AmaWaterways’ executive team and local dignitaries during a ceremony planned for summer 2020. A cruise industry veteran, Fiorino has nearly 30 years of experience in business and leadership, and has spent over 15 years in the travel industry. She has played a key role in the strategic growth of World Travel Holdings, Cruiseline.com’s parent company (so we’re extra excited about this!).

“We are proud and happy to have a remarkable leader like Debbie join the AmaWaterways family as Godmother of the beautiful AmaSiena,” said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. “Debbie is renowned for her innovation, culture of caring and inspirational spirit, which are all shared values of AmaWaterways.”

“Being named a Godmother is a very special honor in the cruise industry and I am humbled and grateful to co-owners Rudi Schreiner, Kristin Karst and Gary Murphy for this prestigious opportunity,” said Fiorino.

Sister ship to AmaMora, AmaLea, and AmaKristina, AmaSiena will include 78 cabins, the majority of which have the line’s signature twin balconies which offer panoramic views from both a French and outside veranda space. 

Congratulations, Debbie!
