Amadeua River cruises announce details of new ship, Amadeus Amara

Amadeua River cruises announce details of new ship, Amadeus Amara

Amadeus River Cruises has released details of its newest ship, Amadeus Amara, which will join the fleet on the Danube river in July 2025. Thanks to an innovative lightweight construction and an exceptionally shallow draft, the vessel will remain reliably operational even in seasonally fluctuating water levels. Additionally, its reduced water resistance will help minimise fuel consumption. The sustainable design is further enhanced by an efficient hull shape, a fuel-saving autopilot and solar panels on the sun deck, all of which contribute to environmentally friendly river cruising.

 Amadeus Amara will boast impressive technical innovations and high environmental standards, while offering its 164 guests even more space on the river. The Austrian cruise line, with decades of experience in developing modern river cruise ships, has collaborated with an expert team to create numerous groundbreaking features for this three-deck ship.

“Amadeus Amara is not only a technical masterpiece but also a true gem for our guests,” says Martina Lüftner, founder and managing director of Amadeus River Cruises. “The elegant interior design and indoor pool at the stern will be among the new comfort highlights. Twelve spacious suites feature walk-out balconies and cosy reading nooks, while the 70 standard cabins mostly offer drop-down panoramic windows and luxurious bathrooms.”

With its modern fleet of 12 Amadeus vessels, Amadeus River Cruises offers exclusive river cruises on Europe’s most beautiful and renowned waterways: on the waterways of Belgium and Holland, past the Rhine's picturesque vineyard scenery, along the Rhine-Main canal, in the steps of French Savoir-Vivre on the Rhône, Saône and Seine, and through the charming landscapes adjoining the Danube all the way to the Black Sea.
