The heated sun-deck pool and open-air spaces are suitable for relaxed leisure, but the ship is primarily designed as an upscale adult-oriented river-cruise experience rather than a dedicated family vessel.
Pools, spa & wellness
Wellness facilities include a fitness room and a heated outdoor pool on the sun deck.
Environmental features
AMADEUS Aurea uses hybrid diesel-electric propulsion with a high-performance battery system, exhaust after-treatment and heat-recovery technology. The battery is intended to cover peak power demand, helping reduce fuel use, emissions and noise during operation.
