13
Meetings & Presentations
14
THE WORLD IS YOURS to explore and we’re excited to be a part of it. Consult with your operations professiona to make it special for your group and incentive.
Business Matters Assembling your incentive participants for a meeting or networking event won’t be an issue on board an AMADEUS River Cruise Ship. Flexibility comes in the form of utilizing any number of our public spaces and transforming it into a meeting space to fit your group’s requirements. Smaller, more intimate meetings may be held in the AMADEUS Club, a comfortable setting with marvelous views. Add coffee service and lite refreshments to complete the set-up and then settle in. For groups requiring more complex components such as audio visual and more elaborate food & beverage requests, the AMADEUS operations team is happy to transform the Panorama Bar into the meeting space to accommodate larger audiences. Most of the AMADEUS Fleet provide basic AV technical equipment. Requests for additional components are always welcome and proposals will be customized based on specific needs.
15
Hospitality
A river ship, like a floating hotel, gives participants the opportunity to travel in style and luxury through the heart of Europe and see some of the world’s most iconic European sights from a new and exciting perspective.

THE PANORAMA BAR is where your group will gather for an early riser breakfast, a light lunch option, afternoon tea and coffee service, and cocktails throughout the day and evening. A great venue for a cocktail reception and post dinner entertainment option.

THE PANORAMA RESTAURANT offers spectacular dining experiences and gourmet quality menus. A buffet breakfast starts the day with an array of rich menu options for participants opting for the plated lunch options, the restaurant offers a choice of 3-course menus daily.
Highlight Dining It is hard to imagine a more impressive evening than inviting a group of special guests to the Highlight Dining Experience aboard an AMADEUS River Cruise vessel. This unique culinary experience is the perfect way to make an intimate group feel celebrated. The evening may begin with an elegant cocktail reception on the open-aired front deck while Europe’s history passes by. A gentle breeze carries the sights and sounds of the villages dotting the shoreline. Dinner is served in a private, intimate setting where excellent service is a priority and gourmet meals are presented like the unveiling of fine art. Pair the cuisine with a special wine from the region or special order a familiar favorite. The experience is enhanced by the ever changing view as a wall of glass featuring the lights of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities serves as the backdrop for your private dining experience.
19
Wine & Golf Many European destinations are famous for inspiring passionate enthusiasts. Unique experiences may be organized for wine- and golf-minded participants with several custom itineraries on rivers visited by our AMADEUS fleet.
20
LET US HELP YOU PLAN THE PERFECT AGENDA to exceed your attendee’s expectations. Any number of golf or wine related activities can be planned around one of our current itineraries, or your custom itinerary request.
Inspiring Passion Enhance your group’s incentive river cruise by adding a day or two of golf at one of Europe’s finest courses. Select itineraries sailing on the Rhine, Danube and Seine may be customized for a round of 18-holes. With each stroke of the club a breathtaking view in a fantastic destination awaits your golf-devoted participants. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Europe’s rich winemaking legacy is a must. Participants may visit vineyards and meet passionate winegrowers throughout several of Europe’s wine regions. While your group is on the Danube and Rhine drinking Rieslings or a crisp Gruener Veltliner, or sipping a spicey Cotes du Rhone in the south of France, a wine expert will accompany participants on their visits to historic wine estates and teach them about the grapes, the region and the history of the vineyards.
21
Theme Evenings & Entertainment Any special evening may be enhanced by adding a theme, or special entertainment such as a DJ or Karaoke. Cultural entertainment to elevate a destination experience, or adding a classical concert on board will definitely impress your guests.
22
THE AMADEUS TEAM ARE EXPERTS in creating memorable events to complement your culture, group and destination... the choices are endless.
Evening Entertainment Evening entertainment is an important component to any incentive. The AMADEUS team is pleased to customize a variety of experiences based on your program’s budgets, the destination and the attendees’ particular tastes. Suggestions may include: • A private dance lesson to learn the Viennese Waltz before entertaining a private evening concert in a breathtaking setting in the heart of Vienna. • A private winemaker’s dinner at a romantic vineyard in Burgundy with views of Chalon sur Saone as a backdrop for an enchanting evening. • A Disco-Theme evening aboard an AMADEUS Ship as you sail past small towns and villages along the picturesque river. • A Bavarian Theme evening while sailing the Danube. • An Illumination Cruise under the beautiful lights of Budapest while enjoying the sounds of Hungary provided by an authentic musical group.
23
Health & Fitness
24
BICYCLES ONBOARD On every ship we provide bicycles for independent exploration − complimentary for our guests.
Stay Active AMADEUS River Cruises is pleased to offer a variety of custom group fitness programs to meet the needs of our incentive clients and their participants. While each ship is equipped with a modern fitness room outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, other options are available for the fitness minded incentive traveler. A customized group fitness regiment may include starting the morning out with a group yoga session lead by a certified yoga instructor held on the upper deck as the sunrises, or indoors in the Panorama Bar surrounded by wall-to-wall windows with views of surrounding countryside. Or, perhaps an aerobics class or meditation hour is more your group’s style? For the group interested in incorporating exercise with their excursions, we’re happy to customize bicycle tours through any one of enchanting villages the ship stops at or even canal tours on stand-up paddle boards through Amsterdam.
25
Transportation
26
COSTS are quoted in detail and budgeted according to the group’s specific requirements. Charges will be applied to the group’s master account for easy onestop procurement.
Unpack Only Once A river ship gives participants the opportunity to see some of the world’s most iconic European sights from a new and exciting perspective, while only unpacking once. Because the ship is always on the move, organizing ground transportation is a process that requires the expertise of an operations manager knowledgable in the ship’s navigation, the destinations it visits and suppliers who can meet the special needs of the ship’s requirements. Regardless of your group’s budget, the AMADEUS operations team can assist in organizing private ground transportation for your group’s airport arrivals & departures, evening events, specialty activities and preor post-planning needs, just to list a few.

Important Information AIR CONDITIONING: Please note that the air conditioning in your cabin is only guaranteed to be effective if you keep the doors and windows closed. The air conditioning can be regulated individually in each cabin. ANNOUNCEMENTS: A public address system enables our Cruise Directors to provide you with important information about places we are passing, our programs on board and our excursions ashore. You can hear these announcements on the Sun Deck, in your cabin, and in all the public areas of the vessel. CHANGING MONEY: The vessel does not have a money exchange. However, a Bureau de Change can generally be found close to the docking locations. CLOTHING: In the daytime and during shore excursions, we recommend wearing casual clothing and comfortable footwear. A jacket or pullover may be required during the evening. For dinner and for special occasions we recommend dressing smartly. CRUISE DIRECTOR‘S TEAM: The Cruise Director‘s team will look after you throughout the cruise and will always be happy to give you any additional information you require. CRUISE ITINERARIES: Although every effort is made to keep itineraries as advertised, we reserve the right to make changes and substitutions, as necessary, to ensure the safety of our guests and our vessels. Changes may be made at short notice due to force majeure, high or low river levels, maintenance work or waiting times at locks and bridges owing to traffic congestion. Announcements will be made on board to keep you informed of any important changes. DAILY SCHEDULE: A Daily Program is produced every day and placed in your cabin on the previous evening. It contains important information such as meal times, departure times for excursions and other events, and shows the timetable for all services provided by the crew. DECKCHAIRS: There are plenty of deckchairs on the Sun Deck which are available free of charge. DINING TIMES: The ship‘s onboard restaurant provides a relaxed environment and accommodates all guests in one sitting. The dining schedule will be listed in the Daily Program. The Maître D‘ will assist with seating.
ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM: The schedule for the onboard entertainment may be found in the Daily Program. EXCURSION PROGRAM: A minimum of 20 guests is required for excursions by coach and 25 guests for walking tours. A detailed description of the shore excursions will be included with your travel documents. The Cruise Director‘s team will be happy to provide additional information on board. The team will also keep you informed about timings of excursions and give additional advice for independent exploration. FAMILY RATE: With 30% reduction for children: the AMADEUS Imperial, the AMADEUS Star, the AMADEUS Queen, the AMADEUS Provence, the AMADEUS Silver III and the AMADEUS Star have a limited number of C-1 cabins with connecting doors, which can be booked on request for 2 adults with 1 or 2 children. The two adults pay the regular cruise price, the accompanying child or a maximum of 2 accompanying children receive a 30% discount in the adjacent cabin. FITNESS: A fitness room is open 24 hours a day on every AMADEUS vessel. GIFT SHOP: This shop offers exclusive AMADEUS branded items, as well as souvenirs, postcards, stamps, accessories and some everyday essentials. GRATUITIES: In accordance with international custom, it is usual to leave a gratuity for the staff. The amount is, of course, up to you and should serve as recognition for good service. As a guideline, we would suggest $12 USD per guest per day. Gratuities may be pre-paid, or given onboard in cash or added to your onboard account and settled with the rest of your charges. HAIRDRESSER: For your convenience a hair salon is found on all AMADEUS vessels. If you require the hairdresser‘s services, please make an appointment on board.
DRINKING WATER: The ship has been outfitted with a sophisticated filtration system, and the tap water in each stateroom is safe for drinking.
INSURANCE: While travel insurance is not required in order to participate in this program, AMADEUS River Cruises strongly recommends that each guest purchase a travel protection plan, as unforeseen circumstances can occur both prior to and during travel.
ELECTRIC CURRENT: The voltage on board ship is 230V, European standard. To use any electrical product that is not dual voltage (e.g. from the US, Canada, Australia or the UK), you will need a plug adaptor and some devices will require a voltage converter. Many electronic devices have built-in voltage converters, however, please check the manufacturer’s specifications for details. A two-pole adaptor is also available at reception.
INTERNET / WIFI: Wireless Internet access is available on all AMADEUS ships and is provided in all public areas of the ship. We ask for your understanding that the connection during your trip may be weaker on certain sections of the route and the speed will most likely be slower than what you are used to at home. In addition, downtimes may occur on board due to steep river banks, locks and bridges which are beyond our control.
ELEVATOR: All AMADEUS vessels in this brochure are equipped with an elevator that services all decks except the Sun Deck.
LAUNDRY SERVICE: A laundry service is available on board for a nominal fee. Please note that neither self-service laundry facilities nor dry cleaning services are available.
EMBARKATION / DISEMBARKATION: Local river authorities allocate docking space around ship arrivals and departures in port. Typically, river ships dock facing upstream. Occasionally port conditions require ships to tie up alongside each other, in which case guests may be required to
70
walk through another ship to access their own ship. This is part of the river cruise experience and is perfectly normal and beyond the control of the ship company. Guests may experience obstructed views from staterooms when the ship is docked.
LIBRARY: There is a selection of light reading material available for your use on board. Whenever possible, daily newspapers are also
made available. At the end of the cruise we ask you kindly to return any books or magazines you have borrowed. MEDICATION: If you require any special medication, please ensure that you have an adequate supply before joining the cruise. The onboard pharmacy is equipped for emergencies; there is a fee to cover costs for medication. Please let us know if you require any special medical attention. ONBOARD ACCOUNT: The ship operates on a ”cashless“ system and all onboard charges are billed directly to each guest’s onboard account. Your account will include your personal expenditures in the bar, restaurant, onboard shop, etc. At the end of the cruise, you will be presented with a bill for settlement prior to disembarkation. ONBOARD CURRENCY: The currency used on board is the Euro. You can settle your account on board in cash or any of the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club. PETS: Pets are not permitted on board. POSTAL SERVICE: Letters and postcards can be mailed through the Reception desk. Mail will be sent from the next port of call. SAFE: Each stateroom is equipped with a safe. You may leave your valuables in your cabin safe or deposit them at Reception to be held in the vessel‘s safe. AMADEUS River Cruises is not responsible for any items left in the stateroom. SERVICES NOT INCLUDED: Shore excursions, gratuities, travel insurance and other personal expenditures. SMOKING: For safety reasons, smoking is not permitted anywhere inside any AMADEUS vessel. We ask our passengers who smoke to be considerate to those who do not. Smoking is only permitted on the Sun Deck. SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS: There is always a vegetarian option for all meals on board AMADEUS ships. If you have special dietary requirements or suffer from food allergies, please inform your travel agent or tour operator at least 60 days prior to departure. On request, our chefs will certainly provide special dishes suitable for people with conditions such as lactose or gluten intolerance. We will do our best to ensure that your request is accommodated, but cannot guarantee that all dietary needs and preferences can be met. Some requests may incur a small service charge. TELEPHONE: AMADEUS vessels have a GSM system and direct-dial telephones in all cabins. Outgoing calls are charged to your account. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Before joining your cruise, please check with your travel agent or the relevant embassy regarding the current entry requirements for the countries in question. In order to ensure smooth passage between customs areas, passports are handed to Reception on embarkation, where they are kept in safe custody. TV CHANNELS: TV is received by satellite. When in locks and on certain stretches of the river, there may be slight interference/interruptions to the service.
