River cruises to dream about
It has been a while since we could present to you the scenic beauties along the banks of Europe. Too long, if you ask us. However, even the greatest crisis cannot stop us from redefining luxury on the river time and again.
As a family-owned business, it is our utmost concern that you feel completely at ease on board the AMADEUS fleet and savor every moment on water and land to the fullest. Our name and decades of experience vouch for that.
Our European heritage, customs and culture
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.

Dining Venues with comfort and style
While our menus are extraordinary, our dining venue options are not complicated. All seventeen river ships are built with the same floor plan so locating the Restaurant or Bar is easy, regardless of which itinerary or ship you happen to be traveling on. And, while design and décor are custom; comfort and style are a priority.
Dining Schedule
On board every AMADEUS river cruise ship you will find a number of opportunities to satisfy your hunger for freshly prepared, authentic and international cuisine throughout the day. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, alternative dining options are given to meet a flexible schedule and to offer different choices and experiences.
Indulge in the traditional Frühschoppen, a specialty food experience on the Sun Deck, and slip away to the AMADEUS Club where you will always find a plate of homemade cookies.
After a day exploring, stop by the hydration station and quench your thirst with a refreshing glass of fruit-, ginger-, or cucumber-infused water; during the late evening, enjoy cocktails with passed hors d’oeuvres in the Panorama Bar. Every tasty, authentic dish is always prepared on board, in our own kitchen, by the AMADEUS culinary team and served fresh to you.

Market Experience with an AMADEUS-Chef
Food gives new perspective into a destination's people, spirit and soul. It gives you a greater appreciation for customs and history. Food inspires passion and invites flavor. To understand a destination, is to experience how their cuisine is shopped for, how it is prepared and eaten, and how it inspires. Join an AMADEUS chef on a unique visit to the local farmer's market while in some select ports.
