Login AmaBella was newly re-imagined in 2021, blending elegant design with a welcoming, intimate atmosphere. Some staterooms feature a rare combination of two balconies — a step-out balcony where you can sit outside and a French balcony, a floor-to-ceiling glass door that slides open to let in fresh air and views. Guests can choose from three dining venues, including the Main Restaurant, The Chef’s Table, and the casual Café Bistro, each with its own style. A heated Sun Deck pool, cozy lounges, a fitness room, and a massage and hair salon round out the ship’s amenities, while itineraries along the Rhine and Danube connect you with some of Europe’s most iconic scenery.
With fewer guests on board, you can enjoy the luxury of space to unwind, relax and reconnect with your loved ones. Our public areas, including lounges and restaurants, are never overcrowded.
We chose this cruise because these were countries that we had never visited. They are former Soviet Bloc countries, and their history, especially the Medieval Period, still features castles/fortresses/churches. It is incredible how much these countries are struggling to still recover from Communism. Some countries are doing better than others, but learning the history was invaluable. Oh, and the best was visiting Vlad the Impaler's birthplace and Dracula's Castle. Vlad (Dracula) only stayed at the castle for 4 days, but Stoker's book made it famous, so it's worth the visit. The castle is lovely and is more livable than some of the English/Scottish castles that we visited in the past. Beautiful part of the world to see. We visited just before Christmas and the Christmas markets can be both good or bad. Activities, services, cabin, dining, and disembarkation are good. Not sure if children would enjoy this, especially young ones.
Preceding the cruise, we opted for the three night offering in Istanbul. Our transfer from the airport was handled efficiently. The hotel offered deluxe accommodations with a sumptuous breakfast each morning. The hotel and restaurant staff were beyond gracious and helpful. Our city guide was excellent. I'm confident that feeling was shared by the rest of our pre-cruise group. On board, cruise director, Nema, was very friendly, informative and helpful. One of the best we've had in five cruises. Knowledgeable guides made our shore excursions interesting. Housekeeping and cabin amenities first rate. Daily food preparation, quality and variety OK, but Chef's Table dinner exceptional. Music host, Milos, delivered fun, engaging and inclusive entertainment every night. Alcoholic beverage service was poor. Carefully measured minimal alcoholic content on the daily specials. The drink makers had no idea of what widely-known bar and cocktail terms and phrases meant. Our post-cruise stay in Vienna was delightful. The hotel was "grand" in name and service. Our walking-tour guide was terrific. Transfer to the airport for the return flight went smoothly.
AmaBella offers 80 staterooms and suites across several categories. All include in-room temperature control, spacious bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and a desk and chair. Many feature two balconies — a step-out balcony with seating and a French balcony, a sliding glass door that opens to fresh air and views. Accommodations range from fixed-window staterooms on the Piano Deck to balcony staterooms on the Cello and Violin Decks, with larger suites offering extra living space and added comforts.
AmaBella has three dining options on board. The Main Restaurant is the ship’s fine dining option, while The Chef’s Table is ideal for intimate multi-course tastings, and the casual Café Bistro is a relaxed spot for light lunches, cards, or mingling with fellow guests. Each venue is designed to feel welcoming, with menus that reflect the regions you’re sailing through. Dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free are happily accommodated.
