A Celebration Of Talents & Cultures

JOIN US FOR A CULINARY LUXURY JOURNEY

With the importance of food and hospitality in Austrian culture the culinary arts has always been a centrepiece of the AMADEUS experience.

From breakfast to evening dessert, your plate reflects our passion for sophistication and our European heritage. Behind the scenes, our talented chefs slice and dice the freshest ingredients as they craft everything from Bavarian specialties, Parisien pastries and traditional Western offerings. Every evening, fill your glass with some of Europe’s finest wines produced from the steep, rocky river regions.

Our passionate team of experts   

Worldly, sophisticated, and well-traveled with European flair, our culinary experts combine their vast experience to create an unforgettable dining experience on board the AMADEUS ships.

Healthy Choices

On an AMADEUS river cruise, you can take an indulgent vacation without drifting from your healthy habits. Using the freshest ingredients, our chefs serve creative yet wholesome options as well as selection of vegetarian dishes.

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.

We take care of every detail

From check-in to our Gala Farewell Dinner, we make every effort to provide you with an unparalleled cruise experience. As we invite you to “discover the art of travel your way,” we look forward to welcoming you onboard one of our awardwinning vessels and to our many inclusions on board.
