We welcome you warmly to a new river cruise year with our AMADEUS fleet and invite you to consider a really broad range of travel pleasures along the most beautiful waterways of Europe and Asia.
We have made it our business to offer you the most memorable journeys to the worlds most exciting desti-nations aboard our premium vessels. Our AMADEUS philosophy is to be courteous, personal and sincere this principle is also reflected in our service because, after all, you should enjoy your holiday with us in every possible respect and feel at home aboard any of our vessels.
On more than 500 cruises we are again offering you a large number of travel highlights in addition to our popular classic cruises up and down the Rhine and the Danube. The spectacular Rhine in Flames fireworks display is available on selected dates as part of our programme; we also feature fascinating trips on the rivers Rhne and Sane in the south of France and the Danube & Prague trip, which combines a romantic cruise on the Danube with a stimulating shore programme in the famous Golden Capital of the Czech Republic.
Our theme cruises for lovers of classical music offer just as many exciting highlights as the Advent season cruises through Decembers wintry river landscapes. And for those who like to be active, we offer cycling cruises on selected dates in the programme on which you can discover the most scenic bike routes along the Rhine and enjoy them at your own pace.
Our stimulating Asia cruises on Southeast Asias most beautiful rivers are a very special highlight for 2014. The mighty Mekong in Cambodia and Vietnam is attractive for its secret beauties and jewel-like Far Eastern cities, while you can explore the exotic charms and magnificent temples of golden Myanmar (Burma) in a particularly relaxed way along the Irrawaddy. In service on both rivers are our boutique ships, which have been specially designed for these cruises. Their timeless elegance and luxurious fittings ensure that you have on-board everything you could possibly wish for.
Whichever of the many cruises you plump for, rest assured you will be in the safest of hands from the start to the end of your journey. We hope you will very much enjoy reading and leafing through these pages and look forward to helping you plan the dream trip that will be just right for you.
We hope to see you soon aboard the AMADEUS vessel of your choice.

adventures await you.

Enjoy the start of the 2014 season on a memorable cruise through the colourful scenery of Belgium and Holland at
tulip time: this week-long round trip takes you along the most beautiful rivers and canals past enchanting riversca-
pes, picturesque towns and seemingly endless fields of tulips. You visit Amsterdam, the city steeped in history and
criss-crossed by canals, the Dutch fishing village of Volendam, and the Belgian cities of Bruges and Brussels, seat of
the King of Belgium. The gloriously colourful highlight of this tour is, of course, the visit to Keukenhof, Europes
largest display garden, which delights its visitors with a fascinating variety of tulips, hyacinths and narcissi in bloom.

Castle Marksburg, Braubach on the Rhine
A journey along the famous river Rhine brings together cultu-
ral diversity and an incredible number of alternating impres-
sions. Although this imposing river ranks today among the
worlds most important waterways from an economic point
of view, it has lost nothing of its fascination acquired in the
course of its turbulent history. Goethe himself drew inspira-
tion from the beautiful Rhine, as did many other famous po-
ets who understandably fell into raptures when they contem-
plated its dreamy riverside scenery; the central Rhine valley,
steeped in legend, and the Moselle region with its delightful
vineyards, make perfect destinations for romantics and con-
noisseurs alike.

The Rhine, probably Europes most important waterway, has more variety than you would ever believe; this river is
blessed with a splendid wealth of scenery and sights from the Swiss Alps right down to its estuary into the North
Sea. You travel from Amsterdam, the city of canals, across the Dutch IJsselmeer, upstream to Cologne, and on
through the most scenically attractive central section of the Rhine where you can enjoy an incredible view of the
legendary Loreley rock. Your trip continues to Strasbourg, the main city of Alsace with its French charm, and ends
up in Basel, where France, Germany and Switzerland meet.

Wachau, Danube
The lovely blue Danube no other river in the world flows through as many
countries. On its journey through ten different countries, Europes second-
longest river passes through quite a number of exciting big cities between
its source in the Black Forest and its estuary into the Black Sea as well as
constantly providing spectacular views of fascinating riverscapes. It is said that
the worlds loveliest cities have always been built beside water and a journey
along the majestic Danube testifies to that truth.

BucharestEach year Romanias capital excites countless
visitors with its diverse architecture and its
colourful mixture of styles all grouped together;
French influence has earned the city the nickname
of Paris of the East, while Oriental and Italian
elements can be discerned in it as well. A detour
to the imposing triumphal arch is well worthwhile,
as does one to the listed Athenaeum or to any of
the citys many museums, where internationally
acclaimed masterpieces by Rubens, Rembrandt,
Monet and Jan van Eyck are to be found, in
addition to contemporary Romanian art.
