Dear AMADEUS Guests,
Welcome to a truly exceptional year. In 2027, we mark the 30th anniversary of our very first AMADEUS ship — a milestone that reflects decades of passion, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to Europe’s rivers. Over the years it has been our joy to bring travellers on one-ofa-kind journeys in our favourite places along the rivers — whether it is your first voyage or a cherished return.
Today, the AMADEUS portfolio is more diverse than ever. From the enchanting waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium to the timeless Rhine and its tributaries, from the majestic Danube reaching towards the Black Sea to the refined charm of the Seine, Rhône, and Saône, each itinerary is carefully curated to reveal Europe at its most captivating. Complemented by exclusive themed cruises
and magical winter journeys, every experience is designed to inspire. In 2027, we are proud to introduce a new highlight to our fleet: the AMADEUS Mira. Combining sophisticated design with innovative technology, she represents our vision for the future.
What remains unchanged is our approach to travel: a celebration of discovery, a sense of relaxed, effortless luxury, and a genuine commitment to making you feel at home.
Wherever you plan to explore next, do it in the extraordinary style of AMADEUS. Turn the page, find your inspiration, and transform your travel dreams into unforgettable memories.

When a Vision Set Sail
From the very beginning, the Lüftner family followed every stage of the construction process of the flagship m/s AMADEUS vessel with personal dedication. Their vision was clear: to create a ship that offers a refined experience they themselves would seek when travelling Europe‘s rivers.
Award-Winning: The Silver Series
With our Silver Series, we were among the first European river cruise owners to introduce the idea of exceptionally spacious designs. Each ship features suites with walk-out balconies and luxurious cabins with drop-down panoramic windows.
The Evolution of the AMADEUS Fleet: Growing Year by Year
Celebrating 30 Years Of Amadeus Ships
The AMADEUS story is built on more than half a century of passion, expertise, and a true love for river cruising. Long before our first ship took to the water, Dr. Wolfgang Lüftner was already navigating Europe’s great waterways as a cruise director, making him one of the true pioneers of this unique style of travel.
During those early decades, our foundation was shaped by successful ship charters and a deep understanding of what makes a river voyage truly unforgettable. It was this wealth of experience that inspired a new vision for Wolfgang and his wife, Martina Lüftner: to design, build, and operate their own dedicated fleet of ships that would redefine the standards of timeless luxury, elegance, style, and comfort on Europe‘s rivers.
Defining Luxury River Cruising
With a new ship joining the fleet each year, AMADEUS has evolved into an internationally renowned name in luxury river cruising, recognised for setting new standards in elegance and hospitality. Today, one of Europe‘s youngest fleets reflects our pursuit of innovation and effortless sophistication.
That vision became a reality in 1997 with the launch of the very first AMADEUS ship, marking a defining milestone in our history. It set a new benchmark for premium river cruising and laid the foundation for the 30 years of shipbuilding excellence we celebrate today. Driven by an innovative spirit and an uncompromising commitment to quality, a remarkable succession of custom-built vessels has followed, including the launch of a new ship every year since 2015. As one of the few family-owned and operated companies in the industry, we take great pride in our more than 50 years of expertise and in the enduring heritage of the AMADEUS fleet. What began as a single dream has evolved into our family’s lasting legacy.
2027
Forging the Future
In 2027, our newest fleet member AMADEUS Mira makes its mark on the future. Setting sail with state-of-the-art hybrid technology, this ship features efficient heat recovery, solar panels, and advanced energy systems. Here, high-tech innovation meets finely crafted details.

THE AMADEUS EXPERIENCE
The Best Journeys Feel Personal
Stepping aboard an AMADEUS cruise feels a little like coming home — welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed from the very first moment. Yet beyond the elegant interiors and refined atmosphere, it is the people on board who truly define the experience. From the warm greeting at embarkation to the personalized service throughout the journey, every detail is shaped by genuine hospitality and heartfelt care.
A Passion You Can Feel
It is often the smallest gestures that leave the greatest impression. Don‘t be surprised if your waiter remembers exactly how you like your eggs prepared, if the bartender already knows your favourite cocktail, or if our onboard musicians play the song that brings you to the dance floor. With decades of experience welcoming discerning travellers from around the world, we have learned that exceptional service begins by seeing every journey through our guests‘ eyes. Long after the voyage has ended, it is often the kindness, attentiveness, and smiles of our crew that remain among our guests‘ most treasured memories.
Awaken to Exquisite Cuisine
We believe the best culinary journeys are the ones that cater to your individual tastes. Every day begins personally, greeted by the aroma of freshly baked bread, artisanal coffee, and a rich breakfast buffet. For lunch and dinner, our chefs craft everything from local regional specialties to international haute cuisine, perfectly paired with hand-selected local wines. It‘s not just dining; it‘s a tailored culinary experience designed to connect you deeply to the culture outside your window.
Ships Powered by Innovation
We don‘t innovate just for the sake of modern technology; we do it to elevate your personal comfort and safety. With one of the youngest and most sustainable fleets in Europe, our smart, elegant ships are designed to feel like a private sanctuary on the water. Every detail is engineered to give you peace of mind and effortless relaxation. We carry this commitment forward into 2027 with the debut of our newest fleet addition, the AMADEUS Mira.
AWARD-WINNING SUSTAINABILITY
Travel With A Lighter Footprint
Long before sustainability became a household word, we understood our responsibility to the greater travel world around us — from the rivers we sail to the preservation of fragile historic sites. Our work today focuses on building efficiencies and practicing smart consumption, whether we’re designing a new fuel system or conserving plastic. Sustainability isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are.
Innovative Designs, Lower Emissions
All AMADEUS ships are equipped with highly fuel-efficient engines, supported by powerful technology like our AI-supported Fleet Controlling System. AMADEUS Nova and AMADEUS Aurea, our first hybrid ships, feature solar panels, a diesel-electric drive system designed to reduce Co2 emissions, and heat exchangers that recover valuable energy. AMADEUS Amara’s lightweight construction and extremely shallow draught allow it to glide through the rivers with minimal water resistance, enhancing fuel efficiency.
Conscientious Consumption
Aboard our ships, discover a signature style that‘s both refined and responsible. We avoid single-use plastics whenever possible, featuring luxurious, refillable toiletries, glass water bottles, and fabric laundry bags. Recycling is a standard practice on all of our cruises, proven by our steadily increasing recycling rates.
Certified Green Excellence
For many years the AMADEUS fleet has earned the Green Award, a global environmental certification that recognises ships dedicated to the highest standards of environmental care. Established in 1994 for sea-going vessels, the award recognises industry leaders who have made significant strides in safety, environmental performance, and social responsibility.
Giving Back with AMADEUS Smile Projects
For decades, we proudly support the very regions we cherish. Through our charitable AMADEUS Smile Projects, we build meaningful relationships with our travel communities and environments. It is our way of giving back to this world that gives our guests a lifetime of memories. Our projects focus on vital river conservation and cultural preservation in Europe as we strive to protect and preserve these ecosystems for future generations.

Where Castles Crown the Rhine
A Stone Legacy of Power and Prestige
Nowhere else in the world does history rise so dramatically above a river. Along the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, medieval castles crown the steep hillsides, each one once guarding one of Europe’s most vital trade routes. During the Middle Ages, the Rhine served as the lifeblood of commerce, and whoever controlled its banks controlled wealth, power, and influence. Princes, archbishops, and noble families built their fortresses high above the river, transforming the valley into an unbroken landscape of stone and enduring legacy.
Strength and Romance
The dramatic terrain of the slate mountains created a natural geographic defence. Castles, such as the legendary Marksburg still remain entirely intact, existing today as the crown of heights, preserving their original medieval character. Over centuries, these once formidable strongholds fell into ruin, only to be rediscovered during the Romantic era of the 19th century. Restored and reimagined, they now form one of Europe’s most iconic cultural landscapes. Today, as you cruise through the valley, this skyline recalls a time when history, power, and legend shaped the Rhine.

Rhine Riesling: The Soul of the River
Along the steep, slate-covered slopes of the Rhine grows one of the world’s most celebrated white wines: Riesling. Its story begins in the ancient, mineral-rich soils of the Rhine Valley, where sunlit waters, cool river breezes, and slate-rich terrain create ideal conditions for cultivation. For centuries, winemakers have tended these dramatic terraces entirely by hand, preserving the pure essence of the region in every bottle. In the glass, Riesling reveals its unmistakable character: vibrant acidity, elegant aromas, and layers of flavour ranging from bright citrus and ripe peach to refined, enduring minerality.

“I can’t wait to book another cruise. I learned so much on the tours, thanks to the highly knowledgeable guides who were cultural storytellers at heart. There’s no better way to experience this part of the world than from the river.”

“Melk Abbey holds a very special place in our family’s hearts and minds. With every christening of a new ship by Abbot Ludwig Wenzl, our histories and future move a step closer together, creating a spiritual bond that lives beyond the abbey walls.”
LÜFTNER FAMILY, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA

Melk Abbey
A Baroque Jewel Above The Danube
Rising like a golden crown above the Danube River, Melk Abbey has captivated travellers for centuries. From afar, the baroque silhouette appears almost otherworldly, yet up close, the Benedictine abbey reveals itself as a living place where history, faith, and culture come together. For more than 900 years, monastic life has shaped this extraordinary landmark, and in 2025, a new chapter began with the appointment of Abbot Ludwig Wenzl, who honours tradition while embracing a modern vision for the future.
Bridging Heritage and the River
Abbot Wenzl embodies a spirit of openness that extends beyond the monastery walls. He presides over the christening of AMADEUS river ships, imbuing each occasion with a rare sense of ceremony and meaning. In doing so, the spiritual essence of Melk becomes part of the river’s rhythm, and in return, part of your Danube River journey.
A Journey Through Living History
Inside the abbey, time seems to slow. Visitors journey through centuries of faith and culture, from imperial apartments echoing Habsburg grandeur to serene gardens above the river valley.
Where Knowledge Becomes Art
The library of Melk Abbey is one of Europe’s most extraordinary cultural treasures. Beneath elaborately painted frescoes, more than 100,000 volumes exist as a sanctuary for learning and reflection.
This collection spans centuries and contains: medieval manuscripts, theological works, and early Enlightenment prints, each one a testament to human curiosity and intellectual pursuit. Far above, the ornate ceiling inspires a sense of wonder, leaving you to pause in admiration of the artistry and beauty.

A Landscape Painted In Light And Colour
The Magic of Normandy and the Seine
From Paris, the eternal city of art and elegance resting gracefully on the Seine, the river begins its journey through ever-changing landscapes. Lush meadows stretch along the banks, gradually giving way to dramatic chalk cliffs where the Atlantic wind shapes the horizon. A distinct light, so soft and unique, has drawn the artist’s eye for generations, leading to a natural connection between art and the entire region. Few places in the world can be described as such.
Where the Seine Becomes Art
Spend an afternoon here and you quickly understand why this region is synonymous with Impressionism. Artists didn’t just find inspiration — they found a new way of seeing. Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny, with its water lilies and reflections, feels like a painting brought to life. Following in his footsteps, Cézanne, Renoir, and van Gogh turned impressions into works of emotion and freedom. What began as observation became expression; what began as landscape became legacy. Today, the Seine still carries this artistic spirit — alive in every reflection and change of light.

“La Belle Cuisine“ — a Celebration of the Senses
French cuisine is more than gastronomy — it is a cultural expression refined over centuries. Between the Atlantic coast and the valleys of the Seine, Haute Cuisine, recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, reaches its highest form. Each dish reflects its origin: Camembert from Normandy, fresh seafood from coastal waters, and crisp cider in rural inns. In the south, Provence adds lavender, herbs, and sun-drenched produce. Paired with exceptional French wines, every meal becomes a sensory experience shaped by its landscape.
Paris, Normandy and the River Seine
8 days | Paris—Le Havre—Paris

Highlights include the medieval charm of HonflGBPand the Gothic splendour of Rouen, where Monet found inspiration in the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral. Eight days of comfort, culture, and the unmistakable spirit of France await on this unforgettable river adventure.

General Terms and Conditions of Travel
PREAMBLE
The following Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between you, the passenger („You“), and us, Amadeus River Cruises, LLC (referred to herein as “Amadeus”). By booking a cruise with us, You agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions („Terms and Conditions“) as we may amend them from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transportation of passengers and baggage on a vessel of the Amadeus fleet, all of which are not owned by Amadeus River Cruises, LLC, is also governed by the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract.
PAYMENT POLICY
A deposit of 20 % per person is required to secure a confirmed reservation. When more than one cruise is booked, deposit and payment policies apply per cruise.
The balance is due for payment no later than 90 days before the Departure Date. No further request for payment will be made. All reservations are subject to cancellation if payments are not received by the due date. Only upon full payment of the amount specified in the invoice, Amadeus agrees to provide the services as specified in the invoice subject to these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract. Your payment, starting your cruise, and/or acceptance or receipt of a ticket constitutes agreement to these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract.
We accept payments by check, wire transfer, ACH or Visa, Mastercard, Diners Club, or Discover Card.
CANCELLATION POLICY
In cases of cancellation by you, Amadeus River Cruises, LLC has the right to collect and retain, and you agree to pay the following cancellation charges, calculated either as a flat-rate amount or as a percentage of the travel price and dependent on the number of days left until the planned departure date:
Days Before Departure
Cancellations must be made in writing via email to info@amadeus-rivercruises. com. Cancellation invoices are due for payment upon receipt. All days shall be calculated pursuant to the time zone of the location where the vessel departs. 90 days and more prior to Departure Date Loss of deposit and non-refundable items
89-57 days prior to Departure Date 60% of total cruise fare per person
56-43 days prior to Departure Date 75% of total cruise fare per person
42-15 days prior to Departure Date 85% of total cruise fare per person
14-0 day(s) prior to Departure Date 100% of total cruise fare per person
CANCELLATION, TERMINATION AND RIGHT TO REMOVE PASSENGERS BY AMADEUS RIVER CRUISES, LLC:
Amadeus reserves the right to cancel a cruise at any time, or to have a passenger removed from a vessel in the following instances:
a) Without notice, if the passenger disrupts the execution of the travel or if his/ her behavior is dangerous, harassing, abusive, threatening or otherwise disruptive to others or to himself or herself, or is not in accordance with these Terms and Conditions or the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract, applicable rules or regulations, or the instructions of staff or crew members. In the event of such removal, Amadeus is entitled to recover the full cruise fare and, such passenger may be left at any port or place the vessel calls without any liability of Amadeus or its representatives. Amadeus shall not be required to refund any portion of the cruise fare paid by any passenger who is removed under the terms of this paragraph, nor shall Amadeus be responsible for expenses for lodging, medical care, meals, transportation, or any other expenses incurred by the passenger. Amadeus shall be entitled to recover from the passenger any costs or expenses incurred by Amadeus, its representatives, or the crew members in the removal of the passenger or the exercise or enforcement of this clause.
b) If, by two weeks prior to the Departure Date, the advertised minimum number of passengers has not been reached, which is 80 passengers per cruise and, in the case of shore excursions, 25 persons, or whatever other minimum number of passengers has been indicated for the cruise or service concerned, or there is otherwise insufficient reservations or demand for the cruise, excursion or service.
In all such cases Amadeus shall promptly inform the passenger of the cancellation and forward to him/her its withdrawal statement. All payments received by Amadeus from a passenger for such cancelled cruise will be reimbursed promptly to such passenger. Amadeus will not reimburse the passengers for any expenditure made in expectation of the cruise taking place.
c) If, by four weeks prior to the Departure Date, there has been a material unforeseen increase in the costs of the Departure Date through no fault of Amadeus. All payments received by Amadeus from a passenger for such cancelled cruise will be reimbursed promptly to such passenger.
REDRESS AND DUTIES TO CO-OPERATE
If travel services are not provided as contracted or are disrupted as a result of the fault of Amadeus then the passenger may demand redress in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract. Nevertheless, the passenger has a duty to co-operate in that he/she must do whatever he/she can reasonably do to contribute to remedying the disruption and to keep any losses that may arise as low as possible or avoid them completely. He/she has a particular duty to advise Amadeus and the tour operator’s representative immediately of any possible complaints.
ACTS OF GOD, STRIKE, OR OTHER CONDITIONS BEYOND CONTROL
a) Before the cruise starts: if execution of the cruise is materially made more difficult, jeopardized, prevented or impaired as a result of extraordinary circumstances that were unforeseeable at the time of entering into the contract and for which Amadeus is not responsible, then the tour operator or Amadeus may cancel, delay or alter the cruise prior to the start of the cruise, and Amadeus shall not be liable for such cancellation, delay, alteration, or other inability to perform. Such circumstances include war, strikes, civil unrest, epidemics, and government directives (such as requisition of accommodation or of means of transportation), embargoes; natural disasters, and accidents; and damage to the vessel (especially to the hull and engines, etc.) or other occurrences that are equivalent to the examples mentioned above in their effect (force majeure). The cruise fare, and/or a pro-rated portion thereof, received by Amadeus from a passenger shall be applied as credit for a future cruise.
b) After the cruise has begun: if the circumstances specified above come about after the cruise has begun then the tour operator or Amadeus may cancel, delay, or alter the remainder of the cruise, and Amadeus shall not be liable for such cancellation, delay, alteration, or other inability to perform. In that case, Amadeus shall, as a consequence of the cancellation, take the necessary measures and see to the return transportation of the passenger insofar as that is agreed in these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract and is not precluded by the force majeure circumstances. If the contract is terminated Amadeus has the right to a claim only for reimbursement of the costs of the services that have been provided. The passenger must bear the additional costs of the return transportation and/or other necessary measures.
c) Changes in the water level: unusually low or high river water levels may cause changes to the itinerary, possible re-embarkation on another vessel or transfer(s) by coach or rail, or even to a shortening of the cruise. Amadeus, the tour operator and the vessel’s captain sometimes have to take such decisions quickly. Such measures may not justify cancellation, termination or withdrawal from the contract by the passenger; and passengers may not derive from them any claims on the tour operator or Amadeus, including, without limitation claims for monetary damages.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION/VISAS
All passengers must have passports valid for six months following disembarkation and necessary visas when boarding. Passengers are advised to check with their Travel Agent or their Consulate Service to determine which documents they must obtain. If incorrect documents are obtained, passengers will be unable to participate in particular shore excursions and may be denied boarding and/ or entry into certain countries. Amadeus River Cruises accepts no responsibility for obtaining required visas nor for advising guests of visa or other immigration requirements.

Amadeus River Cruises accepts no responsibility for obtaining required visas nor for advising guests of visa or other immigration requirements.
TRAVEL INSURANCE PROTECTION
Travel Insurance is not included in the listed fares. 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, covering in particular possible costs of cancellation, as well as damage to and/or loss of baggage, costs of possible medical treatment, repatriation services, etc. as unforeseen circumstances can occur both prior to and during travel. Please discuss with your travel agent if you have any questions.
REVISIONS/CHANGES
After receipt of deposit for a cruise by Amadeus, all changes to the cruise are subject to a $36 charge per change. See section above under Cancellation Policy for additional details on situations which are classified as cancellations rather than changes.
CHILDREN/MINORS
Due to the nature of our cruise itineraries, AMADEUS vessels do not maintain facilities or services for children. On all cruises minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied and share a cabin with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21. We regret that we cannot accommodate children under 8 years of age, and we reserve the right to limit the number of minors 16 or under onboard.
PASSENGERS WITH RESTRICTED MOBILITY:
The carrier has considerable respect for people with restricted mobility who choose to travel. In this sense it will not discriminate against persons with a disability in any way. Taking part in a river cruise does, however, place certain demands on passenger mobility. On all ships, passengers must be able to walk up and down the pathway to and from the ship as well as on the stairs and ramps without a walking aid or wheelchair. These are generally not wide enough for these walking aids and the breadth of these stairs and ramps, making it impossible for people to help with movement. Scooters and wheelchairs are not permitted on board and the carrying of other walking aids may also be restricted due to safety reasons. For this reason, persons with special needs must inform the carrier before booking who must grant permission regarding travel. If a passenger is not permitted to travel for this reason or any other medical reason, this cannot lead to a claim against the carrier for damages for whatever reason.
OPERATOR
The Amadeus ships described in our brochure and other publications are operated by Danubia Kreuzfahrten GmbH / Vienna-Austria.
AMADEUS
Amadeus acts solely as a Sales Agent/Preferred Supplier for the above-mentioned operators of the vessels described in this brochure. Amadeus neither owns nor operates any of the vessels described herein and thus assumes no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions of the vessel owners or operators or their respective employees, agents or contractors in regard to the cruises described herein.
RESPONSIBILITY
Amadeus accepts no liability or responsibility, whether caused by railroad, boat, aircraft, motor coach or any other conveyance, for any injury, damages, loss, accident, delay or irregularity which may be caused either by reason or defect, through the acts, omissions or defaults of any company or person, or in carrying out the arrangements of the cruise, as a result of any cause beyond the control of Amadeus River Cruises. Guests specifically release Amadeus River Cruises from all claims for loss or damage to baggage or property or from personal injuries or death, or from loss or delay, arising out of the acts, omissions or negligence of any independent contractors, such as air carriers, vessel owners or operators, hotels, shore excursion operators, restaurateurs, transportation providers, medical personnel or other providers of services or facilities. All arrangements made for
tour participants with independent contractors, including medical services, are made solely for convenience to participants and are done at the participant’s own risk. Medical personnel are independent contractors. Amadeus specifically disclaims all liability for damages for emotional distress, mental suffering or psychological injury of any kind. Tickets, vouchers, and any other travel documents are subject to all terms and conditions of the respective suppliers (some of which may limit supplier’s liability). Under no circumstances shall Amadeus be construed as a carrier under a contract for safe carriage of the passenger or his or her belongings. Amadeus and the owners and operators of the vessels identified in this brochure shall be entitled to any and all liability limitations, immunities and rights applicable to them or any of them under the Strasbourg Convention on the Limitation of Liability of Owners of Inland Navigation Vessels (CLNI), with protocols and amendments, together with the further provisions of the International Convention of Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, 1976, with revisions and amendments (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Convention”), if and as applicable, as well as any other applicable laws limiting liability. Amadeus and the owners and operators of the vessels shall be entitled to claim the benefit of whichever law, regulation, treaty or doctrine provides the greatest legal protections to Amadeus and the owners and operators of the vessels.
REFUSAL OF PASSAGE
Amadeus shall not be required to refund any amount paid by any passenger who must leave the cruise prematurely for any reason, nor shall Amadeus or the owners or operators of the vessels be responsible for the lodging, meals, return transportation or other expenses incurred by such passenger.
Any dispute between You and Amadeus, directly or indirectly relating to the Terms and Conditions or your cruise, shall be first submitted to mediation in Chicago, Illinois, before a mediator mutually agreed to by the parties. The parties shall share equally the cost of the mediator. If mediation is not successful, the dispute shall be exclusively resolved by arbitration which shall be commenced by filing a Notice of Arbitration under the then current Commercial Rules of the CPR International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for NonAdministered Arbitrations (“CPR Rules”). The entire dispute and all related disputes that the Parties may have or possess shall be arbitrated in accordance with the CPR Rules then in effect, by a sole arbitrator. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Paragraphs 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having competent jurisdiction. The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of costs and reasonable attorneys’ and arbitration fees. Any action to enforce the arbitrator’s decision shall be brought in the state or federal courts in the State of Illinois. Our relationship and these Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A. Arbitration against Amadeus must be commenced within one year following the date of cruise completion. Neither Amadeus nor any affiliate shall in any case be liable for other than compensatory damages, and You hereby waive any right to punitive damages.
