Award-winning river cruise line AMAWATERWAYS has expanded its fleet of custom-designed vessels with the launch of the spectacular, 162-passenger MS AMABELLA (May 2010). The line’s fleet available for booking now numbers 12 luxurious vessels.

The newly-built AMABELLA’S features include staterooms averaging 214 square feet (larger than those on many ocean-going ships) and exclusive double balconies, continuing the line’s tradition of innovative luxury on Europe’s great waterways.

In addition to these stunning staterooms, AMABELLA’S exclusive features include an intimate chef’s table restaurant that seats just 24 and has its own private chef; a library with fireplace; and a swimming pool. The vessel also features AMAWATERWAYS’ newly-upgraded ‘Infotainment’ system, offering complimentary high-speed Internet access, complimentary first-run Hollywood movies, classic films and computing options for those maintaining email contact or even blogging during their holiday. The entire vessel, as with all the AMAWATERWAYS vessels on the Danube, Rhine, Main and Mosel, has complimentary Wi-Fi.

AMABELLA joins AMADOLCE (2009), AMALYRA (2009), AMADANTE (2008), AMACELLO (2008), AMALEGRO (2007) and AMADAGIO (2006), ships that have already led the industry with pioneering concepts such as French balconies, complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks with dinner and a fleet of bicycles for passenger use. New ships with state-of-the-art design are hallmarks of AMAWATERWAYS and part of an ongoing multimillion-dollar investment to provide the best river cruisers on the market. In 2011 the line will launch MS AMAVERDE in Europe, a sister ship to MS AMABELLA.

	“This was our first river cruise... so we compared in detail all the cruise lines. We selected Amadeus Waterways because the ship, the itinerary, the included tours & services provided appeared to be the best quality & value for our money. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better than we expected.” Ed & Diane Gayeski – Mountaintop, PA Magnificent Europe
	“... fantastic memories of the beautiful Amadeus Symphony, the friendly staff, the excellent food, the great guides, the promptness, professionalism etc. etc. I could go on and on...” Ineke Brinkman, Brinkman Travel – Ontario, Canada Tulip Time
	“We really enjoyed our cruise on the Amadeus Symphony... the crew was exceptional, as were the food and accommodations. It was an exciting way to travel... It was a trip we will never forget and would highly recommend.” June and Chuck Yount—Troy,MI The Legendary Danube
	“We had a wonderful trip, the boat is beautiful and the staff is very attentive, very efficient... and we loved the crew show...” Dot Brown, Select Cruises—Palm Harbour, FL The Legendary Danube
	“Our trip was wonderful and almost everything went off without a hitch. Staying at a hotel one day ahead of our cruise was a very good idea as it gave time to acclimate to the time change. The MS Symphony was excellent and our accommodations superb. Needless to say, the food was great! The crew was very friendly and accommodating and the touring schedule sufficiently flexible to even satisfy me (who generally prefers the self-guided variety). The size of the group on the boat was JUST RIGHT. For a first time at this type of experience, it exceeded my wildest expectations. We're ready for another cruise with different destinations.” Phillip Smead—Williamsburg, VA Tulip Time Cruise
	“We want to express our gratitude for the wonderful attention that was given to our group during our Heartland of Europe River Cruise aboard the Symphony starting on June 18. The special wine tasting that was arranged for our group was the highlight of our trip. Everyone in our group was very impressed and grateful. Our hotel in Prague was beautiful and the staff there so helpful and friendly. And everyone raved about the extensive and delicious buffet breakfast. Our cabins on the Symphony were very spacious and comfortable with a place to put everything. The large picture windows displayed the beautiful scenery as we sailed along the rivers. The food on the ship was excellent with a great variety and everyone remarked how much they appreciated the complementary local wines with dinner each evening. The dining staff were very efficient and lots of fun too. Andrzej was the best cruise director! He was very organized and informative. He went out of his way to give our group extra attention and service. We also enjoyed his humor. Of course the scenery along the rivers is breathtaking - we had not sailed on the Moselle before and we especially enjoyed the scenery there. The guided sightseeing was well planned and there was a nice mix of structured and free time during the entire trip. The entertainment on the ship was excellent. The classical pianist was very good as were the local entertainers. We especially enjoyed the classical trio who received four encores and the little black cats in Zell. This trip is wonderful for a group. We strive to have happy clients and in our group of 46 everyone raved about the trip so that made our job so much easier. We also want you to know how nice you are to work with - we really appreciate how well all the planning, promotion and paperwork for our trip went and how friendly and accommodating you all are.” Judith & Wayne—Konz Terra Travel Europe’s Heartland Cruise
	Dear Kristin, ”I want to take this opportunity to again THANK YOU for the WONDERFUL river cruise aboard the MS Symphony, May 30 to June 6, 2004! The cruise was absolutely marvelous; the crew unbelievably dedicated and delightful; and the cuisine and accommodations were five (*****)star! Of course, the scenery and planned events for the passengers were also beyond words so far as being spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Amadeus and have no hesitation to recommend it to clients over any other European waterway trips that I am familiar with. Again, MANY, MANY THANKS for a wonderful waterway holiday!!” Grace Feuerhelm, MCC, CTC, DS(3)—Travel By Design
