Amadeus Nova is the most recent addition to the Panorama class, refining the specification rather than changing the layout.
Cabin technology, soundproofing and climate control are the clearest advances over the earlier Panorama hulls.
The sun deck is enlarged, with more shaded seating and a longer walking track.
She works the Danube between Passau and Budapest with lower-river extensions to the Iron Gates in shoulder season.
The Amadeus Club, river terrace and Panorama Restaurant are unchanged from the rest of the class.

Food and drink
Dining options
Included in your fare

The main dining room, open seating, with Austrian and regional menus and a daily vegetarian option.

A water-level terrace serving coffee, snacks and warm-weather light lunches.
Early and late service
Continental breakfast from 06:00 for early excursions and a late-riser service until mid-morning.

Austrian gala dinner
A multi-course Austrian menu with Wachau wines once per itinerary, included in the fare.
Wine tasting evenings
Hosted Austrian and German tastings in the Amadeus Club on selected sailings, included.

Entertainment
Classical concerts ashore
Vienna, Salzburg and Budapest concert evenings — the line's signature, sold within the excursion package.
Resident musician
A pianist in the main lounge before and after dinner each evening.
Lectures and briefings
Daily port talks in German and English, plus cultural and historical lectures on longer sailings.
Sun deck
A walking track, shuffleboard, a putting green on some hulls and extensive shaded seating.
Bars
Drinks packages
Included with meals
Austrian and regional wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner.
All-inclusive drinks upgrade
All-day spirits, cocktails and premium wines, charged per person per day.

Ashore
Excursions
Excursions are sold as a pre-bookable package rather than bundled into the fare. Buying in advance is materially cheaper than booking day by day and secures the classical concert evenings, which sell out.

Guided walking and coach tours with local guides and audio headsets in each port.
Classical concert evenings
Vienna, Salzburg and Budapest concerts in historic venues, part of the excursion package.
Wine and food tours
Wachau and Burgenland cellar visits, market tours and regional tastings.
