Returning to the rivers in 2020 after extension renovation, the AMADEUS Brilliant shines like a new ship, yet retains its timeless elegance and appeal. This 110-meter ship combines luxury detailing with an intimate, relaxed ambience.
With fewer guests aboard, the AMADEUS Brilliant’s size allows you the opportunity to experience Europe’s narrower waterways such as the Moselle and Saar rivers. When cruising the beautiful European waterways, enjoy the AMADEUS’ signature comfort and service. With our French balconies and panoramic windows, the passing riverscapes and breathtaking views bring nature to your door.
As evening winds down, the Panorama Restaurant, Bar and Lounge come to life as the piano plays and four-course meals begin. From tulips to fairytales, quaint villages to skyward cathedrals, AMADEUS Brilliant promises new memories from the Old World rivers.
Staterooms & Suites
Spacious elegance and a special ambience – the atmosphere in our cabins invites relaxation, joy and leisure. Your cabin is just the right place to unwind after an eventful shore excursion and review all you have seen and done during the day; broad, panoramic windows, stylish furnishing with delightful details and – not least – attentive room service, contribute to making your trip a memorable one.
Your window to the world
Take in the views: absolutely all cabins in the AMADEUS fleet are outside cabins and most of them also have large opening panoramic glass fronts with French balconies, giving you incomparable views of the wonderful riverscapes floating by. On AMADEUS Provence and the Silver ships, all the suites also have exterior walkout balconies with comfortable seating.
A place for day-dreaming
Your comfortable cabin invites you to relax and daydream as well as sleep well at night! Not least because of its comfortable furnishings – top quality beds on all our ships make for nights of sleeping well, leading to good next-day starts. The two beds can be kept apart or linked to form a double bed – you decide which.
Luxurious elegance
All staterooms and suites have a comfortable seating area, an Infotainment system with flat-screen TV, telephone, safe, spacious wardrobe and hairdryer. Each cabin has individually adjustable air-conditioning and a comfortable bathroom with spa-quality toiletries supplied.

Due to the nature of our cruise itineraries, Amadeus vessels do not maintain facilities or services for children. On all cruises minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied and share a cabin with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21. We regret that we cannot accommodate children under 8 years of age, and we reserve the right to limit the number of minors under the age of 18 years on board.
Gratuities are appreciated for a job well done and a common way for guests to express their satisfaction with the cruise staff. Should you wish to tip in cash, you may place your gratuity in the tip box at the reception, at the end of your cruise. You may also add your gratuity to your onboard account to be settled with the rest of your charges.
Entertainment on Board
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.
Life On Board
A river cruise may not be the fastest way to explore Europe, but it is certainly the most beautiful! Prepare to be spoiled by our renowned Austrian hospitality. Our goal is to do our best to ensure that you enjoy an unforgettable and stress-free stay on board our Amadeus ships.
Set your spirit free and unwind while doing exactly as you please! Discover magical, dreamy river landscapes and vibrant world cities, get to know new countries and cultures on our interesting land excursions, or simply relax on the Sun Deck and enjoy the magnificent view of Europe’s most beautiful rivers!
Custom-designed boutique ships
A floating luxury hotel that leaves no wish unfulfilled; wide panoramic windows, spacious magnificence and timeless elegance – we want you to feel good with us in every possible way. Our top priority in designing our luxurious fleet of ships is to offer you inspiring enjoyment and uncompromising comfort.
Cordial, personal, attentive: our onboard service
We have almost turned our distinctive Austrian hospitality, which underpins all our cruises, into an exclusive trademark. Allow yourself to be thoroughly spoilt by our attentive staff members, who will do their best to serve you with what you want before you’ve even asked for it!
Maritime elegance from bow to stern
Our long-standing company not only manages its own ships, but is also responsible for the planning and building of the ships, which are consequently conceived from the start with a perfect mix of modern elegance and luxurious comfort. This is particularly evident in the public spaces such as the airy Panorama Restaurant, the generous and inviting bar and the pleasant, relaxing Amadeus Club with its library.
Public Areas on Board
Because our main priority is to help you relax, there are several places on board where you can let your spirit roam free. These include the spacious Sun deck with Lido-Bar, the Panorama-Bar and Lounge, the cosy AMADEUS-Club, as well as fitness and wellness facilities. On our Silver series vessels, there is also the “River Terrace”, a wind-protected outside lounge area.
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.
Your personal retreat
The AMADEUS Club is the perfect place in which to share the pleasures of the day with a glass of wine in the evening and relax to the gentle sounds of jazz or classics. You can also easily send holiday greetings to all your loved ones at home from our Internet stations in the AMADEUS Club.
A place in the sun
From our sun deck a distinctive view unfolds of the natural scenery passing by and of the lovely towns that adjoin Europe’s waterways. This is the perfect place for those who seek entertainment and relaxation at the same time: The best way to enjoy the sunshine can be with a cool drink from the Lido Bar, playing a game of chess or shuffleboard, or just simply taking in the view and letting your thoughts wander. You’ll be surprised how much can be seen from our top deck!
River Terrace
Summertime is best enjoyed with a cool drink, which is why you will find a new form of open-air relaxation on our AMADEUS vessels: the elegant River Terrace generates a great holiday atmosphere and provides spectacular views of the river while its extensive glass panels protect you from the airstream and rain.
Magical evenings and glamorous entertainment
In the evening, let our on-board musicians entertain you and perhaps take to the floor yourself and dance to some of your favourite tunes! Take time for something special – yourself!
There is a gift shop onboard with a limited selection of toiletries, souvenirs, and other sundries. All purchases are charged to your shipboard account. The hours of operation are adjusted to each day’s program. Please enquire about shop opening times at the reception.
Please note: No over-the-counter medications are available, in accordance with European laws
Our reception is staffed around the clock during your journey and our team will be happy to help you in all matters. If you would prefer to explore the region on your own, our reception team will be on hand with advice! Whether you are planning a shopping trip, cultural trip or an individual city tour; we will be happy to help you with any planning and give you the best addresses.
Exciting and fresh excursions
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!
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 favourable 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.
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.
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.
Amadeus Audio-Guides
You will be provided with feather-light, wireless AMADEUS Audio Guides during all of the land excursions. The receiver may be worn on the neck or kept in a pocket. Our practical headphones enable you to hear every word of your travel guide at absolutely all times. It provides maximum flexibility and convenience without missing a moment of fascinating commentary. Our AMADEUS Audio System is, of course, also compatible with hearing aids.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The perfect day – as you like it
Why not chuck your usual routine overboard and start a feel-good programme of your very own! You could best do this by booking a relaxing massage in our Vital club or arranging for a beauty treatment with our onboard hairdresser. An excellent way to make an active start to the day would be to join the early morning exercise group on the sun deck or visit our well-equipped fitness room, which is open for you round the clock.
