Celebrating her inaugural year in 2005, the Austrian-owned Amadeus Royal was built in 2004 specifically for river cruising. This brand-new ship features spacious public areas, most notably the comfortable Panorama Bar and open sun deck featuring a walking track, the Lido bar, a small pool, and a covered area that retracts to allow the vessel to slip under Europes ancient bridges. In the elegant, window-lined dining room, all passengers are served at leisurely single settings. A beauty salon, massage facilities, and small gym are also found on board.
