Dear AMADEUS

Guests,

We welcome you warmly to a new river cruise year

with our AMADEUS fleet and invite you to consider

a really broad range of travel pleasures along the most beautiful

waterways of Europe.

Only river cruising offers the unique opportunity

to visit historic landmarks, ancient castles, vibrant cities

and charming, less travelled villages as you sail

the world’s most beautiful and picturesque waterways

aboard the elegant and modern AMADEUS fleet -

along Dutch and Belgian rivers, and up and down the Rhine,

Main, Moselle, Rhône, Saône, Seine and Danube.

With us you experience your own personal highlights

on cruises that Europe’s rivers provide in especially diverse and

comfortable ways. Our AMADEUS philosophy

is to be obliging, personal and friendly –

this principle is reflected in our service as, when all is said

and done, you should enjoy your holiday with us

in every possible respect and feel at home aboard

any of our vessels. The idea is that with us you feel

on top of the world in every way and enjoy each moment,

whether on water or land, to the full. Our reputation and,

not least, our many years of experience, guarantee just that.

We look forward to welcoming you on board the

AMADEUS fleet soon,

Dr. Wolfgang Lüftner & Martina Lüftner

and the AMADEUS team
