About Amadeus Provence

Amadeus Provence belongs to Amadeus River Cruises's Amadeus Provence series and entered service in 2017. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 110 metres in length and accommodates up to 140 guests in 70 staterooms across 4 passenger decks.

Operated by Lüftner Cruises since 1979, the Amadeus fleet is one of the most consistent in Europe — every ship is built to the same length and lock-class so any itinerary can be operated by any vessel. The Amadeus Cara, introduced in 2025, was the line's first Elbe-class vessel. Amadeus Provence 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 Rhône & Saône, where she runs 2 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 Amadeus River Cruises fleet philosophy covers the design choices that distinguish Amadeus Provence ships from the rest of the European fleet.
