Embrace the Freedom to Choose with AMADEUS

Now is the time to plan, wander, and discover. With countless excursions on an AMADEUS river cruise, you can choose how to spend your time. From guided walking tours, interactive discoveries, to traditional sightseeing, we offer a wide range of possibilities for travelers with varying interests and for all energy and fitness levels. Let your travels reflect your preferences, passions and dreams.

AMADEUS Active

These excursions give you the freedom to actively discover Europe. Cycle through the historic streets of Vienna, the magnificent mountain town of Bamberg, or along the charming canals of Amsterdam. Or follow your wanderlust in Linz, Oberwesel in the Middle Rhine Valley, or between the vineyards of Bernkastel-Kues.

AMADEUS Taste

Experience culinary highlights across Europe: Discover Passau on a delicious tour, raise your glass with wine and sparkling wine in Koblenz, and taste exquisite Mosel wines in Cochem and Rüdesheim. Enjoy Haute Cuisine at the famous Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse and explore the flavors of France on a truffle farm in Grignan.

AMADEUS Classic

With our classic excursions, you’ll experience Europe’s cultural and historical treasures up close. Famous buildings and squares, which you know from films and books, come to life on guided city tours. Experienced guides reveal the secrets of these places, taking you into the great stories of humanity.

AMADEUS Experience

Travel with all your senses – without leaving the ship. On board our AMADEUS ships, surprises await, such as a waltz class or an exciting concert along the Rhine. Let fiery folklore sounds enchant you in Budapest, and enjoy French chansons on the Seine.
