AMADEUS CARA Joins the AMADEUS River Cruises Fleet from 2021

Fleet Grows with 5-star Ship

The name AMADEUS Cara, which originates from Latin and means “valuable” or “precious”, was chosen to emphasize the family business’s commitment to luxury river cruise ships.

“The new ship in 2021 will not only serve as much needed increased capacity for the great demand of our high quality river cruises, but is also a promise to our passengers that we will continue to offer one of the most modern fleets in the five-star segment,” says Marcus Leskovar, Executive Vice President of AMADEUS River Cruises.

The appreciation for its passengers is expressed not only in its innovative design and exclusive premium fittings of the new ship, but also in the company’s perception of its passengers and products. “As a family business our most important role is to exceed the high expectations of our guests from the very first day of their cruise. When they are on board, they should feel as though they are a part of our big AMADEUS family,” explains Marcus Leskovar.

AMADEUS River Cruises, which relies on forty years of experience in shipbuilding, has one of the most
modern fleets in Europe and is internationally known for its 5-star service. The renowned shipyard,
DeHoop, which shares the company’s passion for innovations and traditions, has been a reliable partner for many years.

More Personal Space & Amenities for Passengers

The new cruise ship offers a total of 73 spacious luxury cabins (17.5m/188 sq feet) and 12 AMADEUS
suites (26.4m/284 sq feet). The cabins on the Mozart and Strauss decks of the AMADEUS Cara also feature a panoramic window which extends the entire breadth of the cabin and can be lowered. This design has been developed especially for AMADEUS ships. All cabins and suites have comfortable, spacious bathrooms, infotainment systems, flat screen TVs, telephone, cabin-safe, mini-bar and air conditioning which can be individually regulated. The suites also offer outdoor balconies with a seating area.

Guests of the AMADEUS Cara can look forward to all the comforts of a 5-star river cruise ship:

• AMADEUS Club at the rear of the ship with sliding windows and access to the extended outdoor “ClubTerrace”
• Large sun deck with shaded seating areas, and comfortable loungers
• The “River Terrace” at the front of the vessel which is glass protected, offers a unique view of the passing river landscape while at the same time ensures protection from the elements

• Tastefully decorated Panorama Restaurant which accommodates all passengers at a single seating
• The Panorama Bar which offers space for events and talks, and music by the AMADEUS musicians every evening
• The most modern WIFI system on the rivers

Maiden Voyage on the Danube

The maiden voyage of the AMADEUS Cara will be the 8-day “Danube Rhapsody” cruise from/to Passau
at the end of April 2021. For the remaining season, the cruise ship will be travelling on the Danube to the Black Sea, as well as between Amsterdam and Basel on the Rhine.
