River cruises to dream about

It has been a while since we could present to you the scenic beauties along the banks of Europe. Too long, if you ask us. However, even the greatest crisis cannot stop us from redefining luxury on the river time and again.

As a family-owned business, it is our utmost concern that you feel completely at ease on board the AMADEUS fleet and savor every moment on water and land to the fullest. Our name and decades of experience vouch for that.

Our European heritage, customs and culture

Every morning, before dawn breaks the horizon, bakers all over Europe begin their day by preparing bread dough and honoring age-old traditions that have been distinctly tied to their region’s heritage for centuries. Bauernbrot. Kaiser rolls. Pumpernickel. Croissant. Brioche. These recipes have been passed from generation to generation, and over the years, very little has changed. Onboard every AMADEUS river cruise ship, our bakers are hard at work doing exactly the same. Every day, with every course, a bounty of freshly baked bread and rolls are offered, representing our European heritage, customs and culture. Tear apart a roll and the crisp, golden crust breaks with a satisfying sound and exposes a soft inner layer full of texture just waiting to be devoured.

In another part of the kitchen, the patisserie prepares mouthwatering desserts, authentic cakes, and assorted sweets that resemble works of art, but these masterpieces are meant to be indulged upon with the dip of a fork. The same dedication to excellence is given to every meal we present during every voyage.

In the footsteps of curiosity

Excursions

As a child, I always wanted to become an explorer. And now I am one. Perhaps not Columbus, but with all the comforts. I love the moment when it begins, and we embark on a city tour through medieval alleys or comfortably take a journey through world cities by bus. What we had only imagined before suddenly becomes a reality. And then there are those small moments, like in a cozy café in Provence, where the Roman era comes to life around us, and the scent of the river wafts towards us from the shore. These are moments that stay with us forever. And every day, new ones are added.

All AMADEUS cruises are designed for you to experience the 'best of' the countries and regions you visit – especially through a carefully prepared sightseeing program with knowledgeable, multilingual guides. The number and type of activities you choose to participate in are entirely up to you, as we offer you the option to individually tailor the excursions during the cruise.

Everything feels so unique

Excursions

Actually, this is already our third excursion today. Just moments ago, we were at our floating hotel in the Viennese café. The taste of the cake was a journey into my childhood, to Grandma's beloved coffee table. And now? We have a choice: culture or nature. A nod is enough, and my heart skips a beat. I think of the flamingos, the bulls, the white horses... And then I see them with my own eyes... I already know that my friend will ask me later where it was most beautiful. And I will tell her about this excursion – just like all the others that are behind us and ahead of us.

Dining Venues with comfort and style

While our menus are extraordinary, our dining venue options are not complicated. All seventeen river ships are built with the same floor plan so locating the Restaurant or Bar is easy, regardless of which itinerary or ship you happen to be traveling on. And, while design and décor are custom; comfort and style are a priority.

Genuss

No mile of boredom

On board every AMADEUS river cruise ship you will find a number of opportunities to satisfy your hunger for freshly prepared, authentic and international cuisine throughout the day. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, alternative dining options are given to meet a flexible schedule and to offer different choices and experiences. 

Indulge in the traditional Frühschoppen, a specialty food experience on the Sun Deck, and slip away to the AMADEUS Club where you will always find a plate of homemade cookies. 

After a day exploring, stop by the hydration station and quench your thirst with a refreshing glass of fruit-, ginger-, or cucumber-infused water; during the late evening, enjoy cocktails with passed hors d’oeuvres in the Panorama Bar. Every tasty, authentic dish is always prepared on board, in our own kitchen, by the AMADEUS culinary team and served fresh to you.

Excellent service and high-quality interior

Food gives new perspective into a destination's people, spirit and soul. It gives you a greater appreciation for customs and history. Food inspires passion and invites flavor. To understand a destination, is to experience how their cuisine is shopped for, how it is prepared and eaten, and how it inspires. Join an AMADEUS chef on a unique visit to the local farmer's market while in some select ports. Get new insight on the importance of choosing the right products and produce, and enjoy sample tastings for some specialties.
