MS Amadeus Riva, launched in 2023, embodies the spirit of adventure as it glides along Europe’s rivers with a graceful 1,770 gross tonnage, a length of 135 meters and a beam of 11 meters. Accommodating 158 guests in 79 cabins across four decks, and supported by a devoted crew of 46, the ship is built to feel intimate yet expansive, with generous private balconies and open social spaces that invite easy exploration. Highlights include the River Terrace Bar and the Panorama Bar, plus a generous sun deck where guests can unwind and soak up the scenery, day or night. The ship’s dedication to sustainability and wellbeing is evident in its green design and wellness-oriented amenities, while its flexible programming lets you craft your days around your cruise preference—from exclusive golf itineraries to lively New Year’s celebrations among friends. Onboard activities blend culture and leisure: enriching lectures and tastings, cooking demonstrations, yoga and fitness sessions, and guided shore experiences that showcase local cuisine and history. Power is provided by EU 2-pin 220V sockets (adapters not supplied), so you’ll want to bring what you need. With bilingual service in German and English, ample room on two-level lounges and panoramic views, and a layout that makes every day feel like a choice, MS Amadeus Riva is your personal luxury window to the world—ready for afternoons on your private balcony, convivial evenings in the Panorama-Bar, or sunset moments on the River Terrace Bar as the river carries you toward new horizons.
