Amadeus Queen works the Rhine and Moselle from Amsterdam, carrying the Panorama-class window wall and the Amadeus Club aft.
The Austrian identity is not decorative: the galley runs Austrian and Bavarian traditions and the wine list leans Wachau and Burgenland.
Public rooms include the Panorama Restaurant, the Amadeus Club, a river terrace and a sun deck with a walking track and shuffleboard.
Rhine and Moselle itineraries take in Cologne, Koblenz, Cochem, Rüdesheim and Strasbourg.
The guest mix is more European than on the American-led brands, with announcements typically in German and English.
Highlights
Austrian galley
Austrian and Bavarian cooking as the house style, not a theme night.
European guest mix
Bilingual German and English operation on most sailings.
Sun-deck track
Walking track and shuffleboard above the panorama decks.

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.

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.
