Dear Readers and Travel Enthusiasts, We are once again looking forward to welcoming passengers for another season of cruising on Europe’s most beautiful rivers. We are excited to announce two brand new ships - the "AMADEUS Imperial,“ was christened and entered service in late July of 2020 and the "AMADEUS Cara,“ will be inaugurated in mid-2021. Both vessels are scheduled to cruise on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers and will continue our 40-year tradition of innovation and excellence with a focus on innovative cabin design, modern elegance and luxurious comfort. Also new this season is the newly refurbished and freshly beautified "AMADEUS Brilliant“, which together with our entire fleet, is all about your onboard experience and ultimate comfort as we introduce you to our European heritage and hospitality. As a traditional family owned Austrian company, we care about the environment as we cruise through “our own backyard” and utilise the latest state-of-the art systems and on-board technology to maintain and sustain our rivers and environments around us. Our legendary itineraries take you from Amsterdam and the Dutch and Belgian Waterways all the way south to the Danube Delta and the Black Sea, past breathtaking sceneries of the riverbanks along the Rhine and Danube. We sail through Burgundy and Provence along the Rhône and Saône rivers in the south and from Paris to Normandy along the fabled Seine river in the north of France. In addition, we feature our popular theme cruises offering a variety of masterfully curated Golf and Music cruises as well as our winter portfolio including special Christmas itineraries and New Year’s cruises. We worked hard to create and test a comprehensive onboard health and safety standard that was successfully implemented as we re-started cruise operations in July 2020. We continuously update and adjust to conform with the latest advice of our health experts and requirements set forth by local authorities as well as guidelines issued by trade associations such as CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association). The health and safety of our passengers is our top priority. From check-in to shore excursions to our Gala Farewell Dinner, we make every effort to provide you with an unparalleled cruise experience. As we invite you to “discover the art of travel your way,” we look forward to welcoming you onboard one of our awardwinning vessels in the near future!
