Cruise the legendary Danube in elevated style aboard AmaRudi, AmaWaterways’ newest and most spacious river ship—purpose-built to reimagine what’s possible on Europe’s most storied waterway. Inspired by the success of AmaMagna, this 443-foot double-wide vessel offers a refined, contemporary onboard experience for just 196 guests—delivering the space and sophistication of a boutique hotel with the intimacy of a small-ship voyage.

AmaRudi features 98 thoughtfully appointed staterooms and suites, the majority offering full step-out balconies and panoramic views of the river. Interiors are modern and airy, with a soothing color palette, elegant hardwood accents, and generous layouts. The accommodations range from spacious standard cabins to opulent Grand and Owner’s Suites, the largest of which spans over 700 square feet—each designed to provide comfort, quiet, and connection to the ever-changing scenery.

Guests enjoy a choice of four distinct dining venues, from casual outdoor bites to fine cuisine served in the main dining room. Menus reflect AmaWaterways’ dedication to farm-to-table quality, blending regional European flavors with international inspiration. Onboard amenities include a full Zen Wellness Studio, a pickleball court on the Sun Deck, a heated pool, and spa and salon services—all designed to encourage both relaxation and rejuvenation between excursions.

Cruises aboard AmaRudi are led by expert local guides and cruise managers who bring each destination to life through immersive cultural experiences, curated shore excursions, and active adventures. Whether pedaling through vineyard-covered hills, exploring imperial cities like Vienna and Budapest, or enjoying wine tastings in medieval villages, guests can tailor each day to their own style of discovery.
