Experience the full length of the Danube, the most beautiful river of Europe. Begin in Passau and cruise 4,000 river kilometers to kilometer zero of the Danube where it empties into the Black Sea. Visit eight countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania), and five world-renowned capital cities (Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Belgrade and Bucharest).
Experience the glorious beauty of the narrowest part of the Danube as it cruises through the “Iron Gates” which is a series of 4 gorges and basins which divide Serbia and Romania. This is the narrowest part of the Danube, which breaks through the mountains with the Carpathians on one side and the Balkans on the other.
Couple this spectacular passage with the journey to the estuary of the Danube, where it meets the Black Sea, and the UNESCO protected site of the Danube Delta with its vast wildlife and natural beauty, for an unforgettable experience.
The 5-star-vessel AMADEUS Cara, which entered service in 2022, made once again the AMADEUS fleet one of the youngest and most modern river cruise fleets in Europe. The new ship offers space for 162 guests on a length of 135 meters and will be deployed on the Danube, the Rhine and its tributaries. In addition to the Panorama Restaurant, the Panorama Bar and Lounge, the "Café Vienna", the Amadeus Club, the open-air "River Terrace" lounge and a fitness and massage room each, guests can expect an inviting, newly designed sun deck with a lower sun deck lounge. The very spacious interior concept is based on the multiple award-winning design of the AMADEUS Silver series, that allows for the highest level of living comfort: the staterooms on the Strauss and Mozart decks feature panoramic window fronts which can be lowered and extend across the entire breadth, while the 10 suites feature a walk-in balcony.
The AMADEUS Riva is designed to offer our guests an effortless combination of the vibrant energy of a river cruise day with an increasingly calm and intimate ship experience.
From spring 2023, the AMADEUS Riva will offer guests a choice of 12 suites and 67 exterior cabins across four decks that feature mostly walk-out balconies or lowerable panoramic windows. The newbuilt follows the progressive design and top-level standard that the AMADEUS fleet is famous for, accompanied by generously designed public spaces, as well as numerous luxury outdoor and dining venues: guests can look forward to the elegant Panorama-Restaurant, the intimate dining lounge with highlight menu, the Panorama-Bar with dance floor, the classic "Café Vienna", the glazed open-air “River Terrace” bar on the ship’s bow, the wellness area with massage, hairdresser and fitness room, as well as the spacious sun deck with relaxed lounge and outdoor restaurant.
The AMADEUS Riva will incorporate the very latest technologies in sustainable travel. The innovative ship’s engine not only enables highly efficient energy management but also significantly reduces CO2 emissions. The ship’s newly developed air filtration system with two-stage purification is equally innovative and modern.
