  It was fine. Not great. They are very much stuck in the past with rigid meal times and a lot of unnecessary formality. They do t seem to know what to do with a solo traveller and there's little chance of meeting people when you are sat in the same seat at the same table with the same people every meal. Lots of eating ( very formal). Very ordinary included wine. Cabins are spacious and comfortable.Show more

  This was a wonderful cruise. The crew and staff were very helpful and professional. The excursions were fun and interesting. The food was pretty good (not great), but still delicious. A special thanks to director Alina and bartender Fernando. They are perfect examples of excellent staff.Show more

  Our cabin on the Silver III had a persistent very unpleasant and pervasive smell from our en-suite. We reported it immediately and the ships manager Mr. Hansen did his best - engineering services etc - to moderate the stench but it was with us from Budapest to completion. We filed a report with Luffner via their website but to date there has been zero response. We have asked our travel agent to follow up in case they have more clout. We certainly are disinclined to ever use Luffner Amadeus and the experience on this trip has turned us off European river cruises.Show more

  The entire staff was wonderful & friendly. Cabin exceeded my expectations. The only negative is I personally wished we had more free time in the cities. Tours were good but there is a limit as to how many churches one wants to see. Tour coaches were great & clean. I would recommend TourRadar to friends.Show more

  Excellent! Loved everything about the cruise. Your services were excellent as well. I missed my connecting flight to Passau and the captain agreed to stop on the route to pick me up. Now that’s service!Show more

  We love Amadeus! There is something special, warm and welcoming about this cruise line. We've sailed on multiple other lines and Amadeus is our favorite! Immaculate ships, exceptional crew and delicious food and wines. The chef is very accommodating and tries to cater to every passengers wishes. I can't say anything but positive things about Amadeus! We are about to sail them again in September, 2023 and in April, 2024! Can't wait!Show more

  Booked and confirmed in May 2022, deposit and balance paid on time. Cancellation by the shipping company 1 day before departure because of alleged overbooking. A prime example of customer contempt.Show more

  Nice staff, good tasty food. Ship overall in very good condition. Cabins comfortable Excursion organization, departure complete chaos due to inexperienced shipboard tour guide. No clear communication through them. Edi in service was our top waiter. Thanks again, also to the rest of the crew.Show more

  Very happy with the responsiveness of the travel agents and thorough information provided by Tourradar. The reason for the GOOD rating and not EXCELLENT is because I received the cruise vouchers only two days before my departure to Europe, which caused a great deal of angst.Show more
