Amadeus Europe Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise to go with friends. I don't know where it started in the Rhine because we never made it. The second stop however was Cochem. Everything went wrong with this cruise from start to finish and the sensor staff were very unhelpful. The food was good and serving staff amazing but that was all. The ship was always late, missed excursions, we had the sun roof down for most of the ...

We had high hopes for this trip from Trier to Passau. It was our first river cruise and we would do another; not with Amadeus though. The itinerary was interesting, excursions well organised, boat comfortable. Crew were excellent, food generally high quality although ultimately all a bit the same after a few days, but.... The overall feeling was that passengers had to be flexible to suit ...

This was our first river cruise after many ocean ones and based on our experience it likely won't be our last. Cruising the Danube River was everything we hoped it would be. We visited wonderful cities on a lovely ship with excellent service. Upon our arrival we were welcomed on board and then escorted to our cabin by a friendly crew member. Our luggage had already made it into our cabin as we ...

Our group was on the inaugural cruise of the Amadeus MS Queen, loved it and was ready to go again so we did! We've sailed now with multiple cruise lines and have found Luftner's Amadeus line to be a step above. The Amadeus Queen is a state of the art ship with all the amenities you'd expect and more. The crew is amazing and will do what it takes to ensure that you are taken care of in a 5 star ...

Just returned from the Danube river cruise on the Amadeus Queen and couldn’t fault a single thing. Genuinely cannot understand anyone who could criticise any part of the cruise ship. The only drawback may have been the drinks package as it was a bit restrictive with choice and availability only at mealtimes, but that in itself may have been a good thing so as not to get people too rowdy! The ...

Embarkation was easy. Cabin key obtained on boarding. Luggage arrived quickly in cabin. Cabin compact. Small window just above water level. Kept clean. Head of bed only 10 inches from en-suite door. En-suite very compact. Plenty of storage space. Had to ask for bottled water to be replenished on 2nd day. Otherwise tea and coffee available. Dining not 5 stars as expected. Beware don’t get ...

We had chosen a Danube Christmas Markets cruise from Vienna to Nuremburg on the very smart, new Amadeus Queen. Our suite was very large, with chocolate truffles every day (sadly only 3 on that ship, we never received them on the Elegant), nice food, and the Cruise Directors were fun. Unfortunately we had to leave after 3 days because the Danube river levels were low (all autumn) and be bussed ...

We embarked in Vienna heading for Nuremberg on Amadeus Queen. Because of the low water levels on the Danube we changed ship to the Amadeus Elegant. It was like transferring from a 5 star hotel to a backpackers room with an ensuite. We lost our spacious room with walk-in wardrobe and refigerator to a very small room. There was little hanging space. We could only store one suitcase under the bed ...

Mine was a large group tour. With the drought on the Danube, many of the other River Boat companies could not sail due to the draft required for their boats. The Amadeus Queen is a new boat and constructed with a shallower draft, so we were able to sail, but had to empty the pool when the shallow-ness was iffy. The cabins on the Strauss deck are spacious and the food, service, ...

We chose this cruise based on the timing since this was at the end of a 4 week Europe vacation. There were only 2 cabins available at the time and both were on the lower deck. While we found the food and the entertainment provided was great (talented duo, Kapka and Dimcho, and on one night the Gypsy Band) there were a few things that meant our experience was not so enjoyable as it might have ...
