Your Choice of Dining Experiences
Multiple Dining Venues
The name says it all. With sweeping views of timeless landscapes, the Panorama Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Start the day with our boundless breakfast buffet or a simple cup of coffee. Order a favorite specialty from the lunch menu before heading out for the afternoon. As the sun sets, sit back and enjoy a four-course gourmet dinner.
Every time you walk through the doors, the scene changes. During a quiet afternoon, listen to interesting and educational lectures or savor a light lunch. Mingle with friends, sip on your favorite cocktail and dance to live music as night falls and the stars come out. Fun, creative themed evenings promise to spark your imagination.
Where style meets mood. Sink into a comfortable chair and listen to the cool sounds of jazz or drink a glass of wine and introduce yourself to a new friend. Do you like classical music? Could this be your new favorite club? Spend one more evening to decide.
Enjoy your time on our spacious sun deck and have a good time. Whether with a glass of wine, a refreshing cocktail or a delicious al fresco lunch - experience unique views of the passing natural scenery.
Step inside Café Vienna and experience the legendary Viennese coffee traditions. How sweet can life be? As delectable as an authentic Austrian pastry or tart paired with a classic Austrian coffee drink. Choose an afternoon in the quiet calm of Café Vienna where guests gather to visit or read or… just indulge.

Tradtional Art of Baking
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.
Masterful: Our Wine Selection
The rivers we travel on are a fundamental component in cultivating ideal conditions to produce memorable wines. AMADEUS’ head chef expertly selects premium wines directly from local vineyards to complement our region-influenced menus. Stunning red and whites are paired with each meal, and an à la carte collection is stored onboard for the passenger who prefers to choose a personal favorite, or try something exciting and new.
