MS Amadeus Brilliant

The Amadeus Brilliant, built in 2011, certainly lives up to its 5-star rating. This ship is identical to her Amadeus Elegant sister ship in construction, with the famous pointed bow, and measuring 110m in length and 11.4m in breadth the new flagship fits in perfectly with the traditional elegance of the majestic Amadeus fleet.

Stay in one of the elegantly appointed Classic Staterooms or Amadeus Suites and enjoy unexpected little luxuries. No detail is too small – especially the sincere smiles of your passionately professional staff and crew. It’s the difference between good service and the kind of service that makes you feel especially good.
