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.
