AMADEUS Diamond is a refined river cruiser that first set sail in 2009 and received a comprehensive refit in 2019, sparkling with smart technologies, modern design, and the utmost in onboard comfort as it navigates the Seine from Paris to northern France. The 1566-ton vessel is 110 meters long and 11 meters wide, carrying 74 cabins for a total guest capacity of 146 and a dedicated crew of 40 on four decks. From the lower decks to the open-air River Terrace, guests can savor intimate vistas of France’s countryside, whether lounging in a French balcony suite or enjoying the ambient lighting and thoughtful touches that mark AMADEUS hospitality. Indulge with a soothing massage, stay active in the fitness studio, or light up the day with a putting contest on the Sun Deck. The ship’s interiors blend classic elegance with contemporary conveniences, while practical details—such as EU 2-pin 220V outlets (adapters are not provided)—are designed for effortless comfort on northern France’s waterways. With its intimate atmosphere, impeccable Austrian service, and a slow, scenery-rich voyage along the Seine, the AMADEUS Diamond offers a memorable journey that merges culture, relaxation, and adventure in one seamless experience.

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.
Panorama Bar & Lounge
Every time you walk through the doors, the scene changes. During a quiet afternoon, listen to interesting and educational lectures or savor a light lunch. Mingle with friends, sip on your favorite cocktail and dance to live music as night falls and the stars come out. Fun, creative themed evenings promise to spark your imagination.
