About Amadeus Provence

Amadeus Provence is the Lueftner ship made for southern France. Delivered in 2017 at 110 meters to fit the Rhone and Saone locks, it carries just 140 guests in 62 staterooms and 8 suites with a crew of about 40, yet it has the newer-generation cabins of the 135-meter ships: 188-square-foot Mozart and Strauss Deck rooms with drop-down panoramic windows and 284-square-foot Amadeus Suites with walk-out balconies.

The sun deck carries a swimming pool and the Lido Bar, a rarity on a river ship of this size, and the bow has the glass-enclosed River Terrace for open-air lounging out of the mistral. Inside are the Panorama Restaurant, the Panorama Bar for evening music and the Amadeus Club wine bar for jazz and classical sessions. Wine, draft beer and soft drinks come with lunch and dinner, and the wine list leans on the regions you sail past.

In 2026 and 2027 Amadeus Provence sails one program, the eight-day Treasures of Burgundy and Provence round trip from Lyon on the Rhone and Saone, with 14 departures in 2027 from spring through fall. Highlights are the lavender and vineyards of Provence, the food capital Lyon, the Papal Palace in Avignon and the Burgundy wine towns along the Saone. It suits wine and food travelers who want a small ship and a week in the south of France.
