The weeklong celebrations were launched with an official ribbon cutting ceremony followed by an open house where Karst was on hand to engage with visitors in the multi-purpose main lounge created in recognition of AmaWaterways’ contribution to the project.Many AmaWaterways employees and river cruise guests live in the area surrounding the Yarrow YMCA and will benefit from the facilities that include a fitness center, eight-lane indoor lap pool, warm water pool, gymnasium, group exercise classes, meeting space, café and lounge. A Kids' Zone, for kids age six weeks to 12 years, offers childcare and age-specific STEAM-based sensory learning while parents use the facility. The new AmaWaterways’ sponsored lounge area was designed to provide a perfect place for family members to meet up after participating in different activities or classes.
“AmaWaterways is a family company welcoming multi-generational travelers on board our river cruise ships and we are very proud to participate in a community project whose goal is to offer activities geared to healthy living and bringing together three generations of families in one shared facility,” said Karst. “We know how enriching travel can be at any age and we hope that by sharing these lovely river cruise photos in the beautiful lounge area, we have helped create a relaxing and inspirational rendezvous point for families for years to come.”
