Danube Cruise with MS Amelia

The tour operator and cruise provider Phoenix Reisen was founded in 1973 and is specialized in high-quality river and ocean cruises. The portfolio includes not only classic river trips, e.g. on the Danube, the Rhine and the Volga, but also exotic routes such as cruises in South America, the Orient or the South Seas. Due to the small ship sizes with capacities of 150 to 1200 passengers, there is a family atmosphere on board. During the cruise you can enjoy high-quality dishes, from the maritime fish buffet to grilled specialties to desserts and cakes. Phoenix Reisen also offers special arrangements for wedding couples, birthday children or other anniversaries and celebrations.

As on all Phoenix ships, the atmosphere aboard the Amelia is comfortable and casual. The dress code on board is casual; more elegant attire is expected for the traditional captain's dinner, but evening attire is not necessary here either. Regional events, live music and light entertainment will make your cruise on the Amelia a relaxing treat.

On board the MS Amelia there are two different restaurants serving European dishes. The long common table time and free choice of seats allow you to decide whether you want to eat earlier or later.

The following restaurants are included in the price:

• Main restaurant: Here you can enjoy delicious meals on three levels.
• Barbecue-Restaurant/Bistro: Experience a special culinary highlight at the stern of the Orion Deck.

In addition to the two restaurants, the Panorma-Lounge (not included) and the Lido Bar (not included) offer the opportunity to round off the day with a drink.

Various entertainment is provided on board the Amelia. During the trip, you can look forward to regular dance evenings with live music. A selection of books, board and card games is at your disposal. Shuffle board and 4-hole mini-golf invite to activity on deck. Those who prefer more relaxed moments are invited to visit the spa area of the ship. Here you will find sauna, steam room and fitness area. On deck you will find a spacious sundeck with a small pool.

Through a variety of shore excursions you have the opportunity to get to know the country and its people along the route. The excursion program is adapted to the ship's berth times and is accompanied by qualified tour guides. The excursions are usually held in German language (in case of possible exceptions, a German speaking escort of the ship accompanies the excursion). The shore excursions can be booked directly on board or partly online in advance at the shipping company. The payment takes place on board.

If you love river cruises and do not want to compromise on comfort, you are in the right place on the Amelia.
