About Amadeus Silver II

Amadeus Silver II is the second of the three Silver-class ships, delivered in 2015 at 135 meters for 168 guests in 72 staterooms and 12 suites with a crew of about 46. The Silver class introduced the Amadeus layout that later ships followed: 188-square-foot Mozart and Strauss Deck cabins with panoramic windows that lower at the push of a button, 172-square-foot Haydn Deck cabins and 284-square-foot Amadeus Suites with walk-out balconies.

Public rooms are the Panorama Restaurant with one open seating and a four-course dinner, the Panorama Bar for live music and themed evenings, the Amadeus Club wine bar and library, Cafe Vienna for Viennese coffee and pastries, and the glass-shielded River Terrace at the bow. Wine, draft beer and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner, and Wi-Fi, gratuities and e-bike use are in the fare.

For the 2026 and 2027 seasons the US program on Amadeus Silver II is limited to the five-day Magic of Advent on the Rhine cruise between Strasbourg and Cologne, with a Heidelberg Christmas-market call. The ship is otherwise deployed on Danube and Rhine sailings sold in other markets, so if a date on this ship appears in the live list below it is worth grabbing. It suits couples who want a short, festive December cruise on a full-size Amadeus ship.

  • Drop-down panoramic windows in every Mozart and Strauss Deck stateroom
  • 12 Amadeus Suites of 284 square feet with walk-out exterior balconies
  • River Terrace at the bow, a glass-shielded open-air lounge
