Lüftner Cruises • AMADEUS Nova
Cruising along the Lower Danube reveals the essence of Eastern Europe, where grand imperial cities transition into charming rural towns and dramatic landscapes. Centuries of history will unfold before us—from ornate palaces echoing with the sounds of Strauss waltzes to weathered fortresses standing guard over the river. Every twist of the Danube brings a new marvel: the towering cliffs of the Iron Gates, framed by the majestic Carpathian and Balkan mountains, tranquil stretches of untouched wilderness, and cities full of life and energy.

AMADEUS Nova defines the future of responsible luxury cruising. Impeccably designed down to the last detail, this vessel introduces the latest green technologies, reflecting our commitment to respect the nature of the remarkable destinations visited.
Joining the fleet in 2024, The beautiful AMADEUS Nova retains the design essence found throughout the AMADEUS line. Spacious personal accommodations, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in every cabin, and choice of bed configuration in all categories (double or twin bedding). The technology you don’t see—hybrid engines, solar panels, and cutting-edge energy conservation—is as important as what you do see. Around each corner, discover elegant spaces to roam, multiple dining venues, a heated swimming pool, and unparalleled views from every suite.
Purpose-built to sail the safe scenic waters of Europe’s rivers, she has three decks with cabins and public rooms plus a spacious Sun Deck for viewing the countryside.
When the sun lowers in the Western skies, slip into your favourite evening clothes and wander into the elegant wine bar. Soft voices fill the air as new friends gather to enjoy a four-course dinner as the AMADEUS Nova’s attentive staff anticipates your every request.
