What to expect from Amadeus Provence

Overview

Dedicated to the Rhone and Soane rivers, AMADEUS Provence offers a delightfully intimate cruise setting and the most complete French river cruise experiences available. Find yourself within a French Impressionist painting as you cruise through Provence aboard AMADEUS Provence.

Soft pink and lavender accents set the stage for what unfolds just outside your panoramic window: Collections of yellow Provençal cottages with red tiled rooftops and stone walls, verdant valleys carpeted with lavender fields and vineyards. AMADEUS Provence promises fascinating journeys into the heart of Avignon and Arles and the renowned Le Camargue, the French delta. In the infinity pool, float where blue meets blue as water blends into the river’s horizon. 

Enjoy a drink at the Lido Bar, unwind on the River Terrace or in the fitness studio, or indulge in a pampering massage. At the day’s end, you’ll realise AMADEUS Provence is a taste of French living at its finest.

Our onboard ship experience is as lively and captivating as your time on shore! Varied folklore shows, insightful and intriguing lectures, regional themed evenings, culinary demonstrations and live music events are just some of the entertainments awaiting our passengers.

Panorama Bar and Lounge

After dinner why not take yourself to the Panorama Bar and Lounge. Entertainment from local musicians and a fully stocked bar where you will find your favourite tipple. With an elegant decor and floor to ceiling windows the Panorama bar and lounge allows you wonderful river views of the towns and cities of Europe.

Enrichment

A river cruise offers you what is probably the most comfortable way to discover new countries, cultures and people. You can, for example, enjoy a choice wine tasting in romantic Burgundy, visit vibrant cities like Amsterdam, Cologne or Budapest, take a walk along the Black Sea or visit the Dutch Keukenhof during the tulip season. Whatever you decide, all our excursions are unique and are sure to be unforgettable!

The AMADEUS concierge service

Feel like discovering the regions we travel through on your own? In that case we recommend you take advantage of our exclusive onboard concierge service. Whether you just want to make a dinner reservation on shore, stroll around the shops, get tickets to a museum exhibition or plan a private city tour, our experienced and well-connected concierge is on hand to provide recommendations and assistance at any time during your planning and will always have useful addresses available.

À la carte – or in a well-priced set of excursions

When there's such a healthy variety of available excursions, it can often be difficult to choose between them – so on each cruise we offer up to four tailor-made and carefully composed sets of excursions that you can book in advance at favorable prices. You can, of course, still book all excursions individually, à la carte, as our aim is for you to select the shore programme that suits you and your needs best.

Experienced tour managers: ashore and on board

Our experienced cruise managers on board look forward to acquainting you with the highlights of the last two millennia of European art and culture and providing you with insights into the life and history of the regions through which we travel. Experienced local tour guides also accompany our shore excursions. With their regional expertise and genuine enthusiasm you can be sure they will take you on inspiring voyages of discovery so that you can gain a full appreciation for the region and its culture.

Complimentary bikes on board

There is also a lot to experience off the beaten track: And what better way to do this than an individual bicycle discovery tour on shore? You can enjoy complete independence on your excursions with our free on-board bicycle hire. Of course, we will also equip you with the appropriate accessories, such as bicycle helmets, etc.  Bicycles can only be reserved through the Reception one day in advance of the time you wish to use them (or on the day of, if available). Their use is solely at your own risk.

Dining

Step aboard an Amadeus vessel and taste everything that the landscapes, regions, and the adventurous head chef can offer you in the way of carefully composed menus and local specialities. The kitchen team combines its love of cooking with its goal to present you with modern haute cuisine tempered with a classical approach to food.

To this end, they recommend and serve you selected wines that go perfectly with each dish. You will see for yourself how each plate that leaves the Amadeus kitchen is a work of art that our waiters know just how to place before you with charm, cheerfulness, and panache. Dinner is the crowning glory of each day of the cruise.

Panorama Restaurant

The Panorama Restaurant offers our guests a relaxed atmosphere. We serve both international and regional dishes. The day on board begins with a rich continental breakfast buffet, where we are also happy to serve you various freshly prepared egg dishes from the kitchen on request. At lunchtime, you have the choice between varied menus and buffet specialties in the Panorama Restaurant or a light alternative in the Panorama Bar. In the evening, we offer our guests finely composed, multi-course menus. A vegetarian alternative is always available. Hot coffee and tea are available throughout the day. All meals are based on the excursion times, which is why breakfast can also be served very early in the morning.

Would you like to reserve a specific seat in the Panorama Restaurant? Then please contact our restaurant manager/maître d'hôtel on the first day of your cruise and let him know where you would like to sit. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes.

There is always a vegetarian option for all meals on board AMADEUS ships. Our chefs and restaurant staff do all they can to ensure that all other dietary requirements are met wherever possible. Such requirements of individual passengers can, however, only be fulfilled if service fulfilment for all passengers on board can also be ensured. In all cases, passengers are obliged to control the food which has been served to them in so far as it is possible. Passengers must inform us of any food intolerances or dietary requirements as soon as possible (at least 60 days prior to departure). If we are not informed in good time, passengers cannot expect their dietary requirements to be considered. We reserve the right to not permit a passenger on board if the fulfilment of their dietary requirements would pose too great a challenge for the on-board organisation.

Health and Fitness

Exercise and relaxation, variety and calm. It is precisely these alternations that characterise each day you spend on an Amadeus cruise.

So you can, if you like, start the morning∘ with a visit to the fitness studio or join an exercise class on the sun deck. But if you would prefer to relax completely, you can treat yourself to a massage or make an appointment with the hairdresser.

You might also like to lounge on the sun deck with a good book, appreciating the scenery floating slowly by, or get to chatting to other passengers over coffee and cakes. Whatever you decide to do, Amadeus life offers a perfect mixture of inspiring entertainment and beneficial relaxation.

Fitness Room

Relaxation and activity in equal measure. If you don't want to miss out on being active during your vacation, you can use the on-board gym free of charge, which is open 24 hours a day and is equipped with high-quality training equipment. The joint early morning sport on the sun deck is ideal for an active start to the day.
