About AmaDante

AmaDante belongs to AmaWaterways's European series and entered service in 2008. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 110 metres in length and accommodates up to 150 guests in 75 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.

AmaWaterways operates a young, design-forward fleet across Europe, the Mekong, the Nile and the Chobe. The line is known for twin-balcony staterooms (a French balcony plus a step-out balcony in the same cabin), the chef-driven Chef's Table specialty restaurant and a complimentary bicycle program for guided cycling excursions. AmaDante reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.

The ship's typical home waters are the Main & Moselle, where she runs 6 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.

Background reading: our long-form explainer of the AmaWaterways fleet philosophy covers the design choices that distinguish European ships from the rest of the European fleet.
