Ship FeaturesEnjoy the perfect day on board watching distinctive views unfold of the natural scenery as you pass by lovely towns adjoining Europe’s waterways. Bask in the sunshine playing a game of chess or mini golf with a cool drink from the Lido Bar and let the time slip by. Alternatively, indulge in a day devoted to you by joining an early morning exercise group on the sun deck, visit the well-equipped fitness room (open around the clock) then book a relaxing massage or beauty treatment in the Vital Club.
In the evening, choose between the magnificent Panorama Bar with its dance floor positioned perfectly for you to move to the rhythms of our on-board musicians or the Amadeus Club, where you can relax to the gentle sounds of jazz. Throughout the cruise, we offer varied folklore shows, live music events and regional themed evenings that will add to the memorable experiences you can expect away from shore.
Cultural Culinary delightsYour taste buds will go on a voyage of discovery as you are treated to delicious menus made from local produce. Start each day with a generous buffet breakfast then continue your culinary adventure with varied lunch menus in the Panorama restaurant or a light option in the bar. In the evening, your 5-course menu is a true indulgence showcasing regional specialities, sophisticated cuisine and matching European wine. Tea and coffee are always available, and for those with a sweet tooth a selection of cakes is served daily for afternoon tea.
On special occasions aboard the Amadeus Silver and Amadeus Elegant we offer you the opportunity to dine in an exclusive, personalised setting. The Amadeus Silver also features the new Café Vienna where you are treated to Viennese coffee, pies and cakes from the region. The variety is truly impressive.
at your ServiceExperienced cruise directors ensure your days are tailored to your needs and your surrounds as you gain knowledge of the region’s best music, history and culinary highlights during your time on board. Enjoy a dance after dinner as the ship’s orchestra serenades you, sit with a local artist displaying their skills in the common areas or take a European history seminar that will enhance the next day’s sightseeing. From the careful room service to the attentive waiter, from the welcoming barman to the inventive chef, your hotel manager is committed to ensuring that your stay aboard is just right in every way. After all, every detail matters.

Please do not hesitate to contact local representatives for any assistance with difficulties or changes. If you need to alter your arrangements once overseas or to add services to your booking you may do this through our local representative. Any additional costs incurred therein must be paid directly. We cannot be held responsible for any subsequent complaint with arrangements booked directly with a supplier abroad. Cancellations of confirmed services must be notified through Tempo Holidays even if you have advised the local representative. CoNSumEr ClaImSWe endeavour to ensure that all your arrangements proceed smoothly. However, should a problem occur during your travels
it is essential and most practical to try to resolve it locally with the service provider. If you are unable to resolve the matter, it should be referred to our local representative immediately. If this is not possible we should be informed immediately. If you are unhappy with your hotel room or cabin please inform the duty manager so the situation may be rectified on the spot. If you fail to take these steps any claim to compensation may be reduced or denied. If you have an unresolved complaint this should be put to us in writing detailing the efforts that were made with the local operator to resolve the issue. Please send this with supporting documentation, via your travel agent, within 30 days of the date of the service. No claim made after this period will be considered.tIppINGOur prices do not include tips. Tipping tour drivers and guides is customary in the countries included in this brochure. The amount of your tip is left to your discretion and should be seen as a reward for good service. As a guideline, we suggest €3-€5 per guest per day.oVErbookINGOverbooking is common practice among airlines and hotels. You need to accept that any claim arising from overbooking may only be made against the airline or hotel concerned. Without prejudice to the foregoing, we will take every possible action to protect your interest should overbooking occur.broChurE CoNtENtEvery effort has been made to ensure that the brochure is accurate at the time of publication.
