SHIP

Amadeus Diamond

The elegance and romance of native son Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music was inspiration in the meticulous crafting of the deluxe Amadeus Diamond, which set new standards in design and technology and features the comforts of a floating five-star hotel.

The exclusively chartered ship offers 72 air-conditioned, stylishly appointed river-view staterooms (from 161 square feet) and suites (up to 237 square feet), among the most spacious of any European river ship. Most accommodations feature a French balcony (floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with iron railing). Each has two twin beds (convertible to one double-size bed), a private bathroom with shower (suites have bathtub with shower), individual climate control, satellite telephone and television, writing desk, safe and hair dryer.

Freshly prepared continental meals featuring local ingredients are served in single, unassigned seatings in the delightfully scenic Panorama Restaurant and include early-risers coffee, buffet breakfast and lunch, afternoon tea and four-course dinner. Live piano music is played during afternoon tea, and complimentary wine is served with lunch and dinner.

Public facilities are spacious and include the Panorama Bar, Lido Bar, Amadeus-Club with Internet station, beauty salon, boutique, fitness studio with massage services and early morning exercise classes, and Sun Deck with deck chairs and golf putting green. Guests will also appreciate the complimentary Quietvox audio system available to all passengers for listening enhancement during shore excursions. Laundry service is available.

The English-speaking, international crew provides warm hospitality. The Amadeus Diamond meets the highest safety standards and is one of the only European river ships to have been awarded the Green Globe Certification of environmental conservation.
