About Amadeus Diamond

Amadeus Diamond is the Lueftner ship stationed on the Seine. Built in 2009 at 110 meters for 146 guests in 62 staterooms and 12 suites with a crew of about 40, it was renovated in 2019 and goes into a comprehensive refurbishment ahead of the 2027 season, with redesigned cabins and suites, brighter public rooms, SMART-TV systems and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Mozart and Strauss Deck cabins are 162 square feet with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and a French balcony, Haydn Deck cabins sit behind fixed panoramic windows, and the 12 Amadeus Suites are 237 square feet with a French balcony and seating area; two single cabins on the Haydn Deck carry no single supplement. The Panorama Restaurant, Panorama Bar and Amadeus Club handle meals, music and wine, and the fare includes wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner.

In 2026 and 2027 Amadeus Diamond sails the eight-day La Belle France cruise round trip from Paris through Normandy on the Seine, with Rouen, Les Andelys, Le Havre and Honfleur country, plus a golf-themed Seine departure in 2027. It suits travelers who want Paris at both ends of a week in Normandy on an intimate, refreshed ship rather than a big-brand vessel.
