We had done a prior cruise with Amadeus River and it was a wonderful experience. We had hoped to go again.
We had made arrangements to got in October 2026 and made a sizable deposit about a year in advance. Unfortuantely we had to cancel and despite an eight month notice was told that there would be no refund - full or partial.
We are out now a sizable amount of money and I have no doubt that there is sufficent time for them to rebook - which I am sure they will.
I had expected a fair and reasonable response but Aramdeus has chosen to keep the money.
Buyer beware.

Sailed on the Amadeus Cara back in March 2024. The ship, staff, cabins , food were wonderful and what a value. Planning on another cruise next year.

We've sailed with Amadeus multiple times and have always experienced 5-strar treatment. Great value, immaculate vessels, exceptional crew and delicious food and wines! Highly recommend Luftner/Amadeus!
