The MS A-Silver belongs to the river ships of the latest generation, was built as "Amadeus Silver" in 2013, renamed in 2019 and offers a pleasant, stylish ambience with its light-flooded premises and warm colors.

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.
All staterooms on board are comfortable and luxuriously furnished outisde staterooms with a size of approximately 16 sqm. The suites, equipped with a walk-in balcony, have approx. 24 sqm. The stateooms on the Mozart deck and Strauss deck have lowerable panoramic windows, while the staterooms on the Haydn deck have smaller windows that cannot be opened for safety reasons. All staterooms are equipped with shower/WC, a hairdryer, an individually controlled air conditioning, a TV, a radio, a minibar (in the suites), a safe, as well as a telephone. The beds can be set up as double or single beds.
