Tony· August 10th, 2025This 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 moreTrip date: July 2025- Marlies Gudrun· July 16th, 2024Automatic translation available in English.

- AEAlan· December 19th, 2023Our 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 moreTrip date: September 2023
- Suzanne· September 18th, 2023The 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 moreTrip date: September 2023
- TTamara· September 13th, 2023Excellent! 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 moreTrip date: September 2023
- KKevinButler· August 25th, 2023We 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 moreTrip date: December 2019
- Heinz· January 15th, 2023Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishBooked 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 moreTrip date: December 2022
- HHajo· July 31st, 2022Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishNice 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 moreTrip date: July 2022
- PSPatricia· June 24th, 2022Very 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 moreTrip date: May 2022
- Heidi· October 5th, 2021This is our first river cruise. Amadeus Imperial is a beautiful river cruise vessel with excellent staff and service. Our room was very clean and serviced daily. The entire staff is efficient and quickly responds to any request. Cruise Director Marc was entertaining and innovative with games before and after dinner and a few shows from local performers. Loved the Panorama Bar and the nightly singer duo Tina and Ioane, the restaurant with sumptuous meals (I gained 3 pounds) and awesome sundeck. Kudos to Luftner and the entire Amadeus Imperial staff. We are impressive with the service and accommodations.Show moreTrip date: September 2021
